[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are upper/middle class as are most of our friends. Our kids are or were at Einstein. All our kids did great, as expected, and are at college and grad school, as expected.  What in hell is that troll above talking about?

Is there a way to get trolls off the forum?[/quote]

You’re oblivious, Einstein is about 2/3 poor according to (at a glance) with 65.6% of kids either receiving FARMs or having got it in the past. Everyone acknowledges that concentrations of poverty are a problem so I am not sure how Einstein parents act like it isn’t there. I guess they do a good job putting the middle class white kids in a bubble where they are sheltered form the the rest of the school. Then the parents get to act like the bottom of the county graduation rates and test scores aren’t the few middle class white kids at the school so they don’t matter.  Your kid made it out so I guess the facts that

1200 of 1800 kids at the school hover around the poverty line. 
1/5 wont graduate 
Almost 4/5 who do finish don’t qualify for the Maryland university system
Test scores among the worst in the county all don’t matter

It is all here, your anecdotal rose colored BS isn’t reflective of the school

It's cute how you think your ability to cite stats you looked up online is somehow more significant than the actual life experiences of families who live in the community and attend the school. Yes, there are families living in poverty; nobody is disputing that. But there are great teachers, administrators, and programs there too, and lots of kids are thriving there. [/quote]

What happened to we are upper/middle class and all go to great colleges? Then when some points out there are very few of people like that at that school and they no way define it’s character while backing it up with the facts, you go into “but we know better”.

You are rationallizing living on the poor side of town while trying to convince people on an anonymous forum you aren’t like the average person at that school. Your insecurities are blinding you[/quote]
