[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw the notion that the students in SS are just not smart enough for your child to be challenged is not...I mean for those of us who live in SS you have to understand it does make us laugh.[/quote]

As I'm sure you're aware, "Silver Spring" is actually a pretty large geographic area and the schools are not all the same.  I used to substitute teach and while I would be fine sending my kids to most schools in SS (and they do), some of the schools have some pretty significant challenges.  You do have to pay attention.[/quote]

Yes, people, Silver Spring is not an incorporated city!  It's a huge area without specifically defined boundaries that extends from the DC border up to Kemp Mill, west to Kensington, east to Langley Park....etc.  It includes areas of very high SES and very low SES and everything in between, urban areas, suburban areas, and rural areas.  It even includes schools that feed into B-CC!

Honestly, folks who want to know about Silver Spring schools won't get useful information unless they specify which neighborhoods/areas they are considering.  Otherwise these kinds of threads quickly devolve into SS v. Bethesda, stereotypes about crime in SS in general, etc.  [/quote]
