I hope you didn't hurt your back moving the goal posts or building straw men.  I didn't say that any "horrible outcome" would befall a student at such schools.  In fact, I explicitly said a kid can "get a good education at any MCPS school."

To the extent that you value things other than academics at a school and you believe that certain schools excel in those areas, that's great.  You should go with what you prioritize.  We were, however, discussing the academic component.[/quote]

Please tell me more about student success on the AP Calculus A/B test due to the high level of intellectual discussion in class at Whitman or B-CC.[/quote]

B-CC not a W school. [/quote]

Yeah, and why isn't it? I mean, besides the obvious, that it doesn't start with a W. After all, Watkins Mill and Wheaton do start with a W but aren't W schools, while Churchill doesn't start with a W (and don't tell me that Churchill is short for [b]W[/b]inston Churchill) but is.[/quote]

For one it's the furthest down county of any HS in the county. In fact, it was originally part of the DCC until wealthy parents got the boundary gerrymandered to keep out the poors.[/quote]

So whether you are a W school depends on where you are located? That is news to me. [/quote]

I am particularly curious as to why the north/south distinction is critical.  Last time I looked, the northern most schools in the county were not wildly well regarded.  So, you have to north, but not too far north?[/quote]
