[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True story.  A friend of mine whose daughter attended MCPS through HS is now at Towson University.  She is struggling because she doesn't know how to study.  Because she never had exposure to mid term or final exams, she is having to learn how to study and is considering dropping a class or two.  This is so sad.

Also, she was an honor student in HS FWIW.[/quote]
True story, lots of MCPS kids go to top colleges, and they know how to study, and get good grades there.[/quote]

I am talking about average kids here, not the ones who are going to magnets and W schools.  Students who never take an AP class don't get exposure to cumulative testing experiences.  There are lots of these kids, and if they can't succeed at a school like Towson, that is not a good look on MCPS.  Sorry.[/quote]
I know it's shocking but there are actually kids outside of magnet and W schools that do go to great colleges.[/quote]

Of course there are. But not many. [/quote]
and there are "not many" from catholics who get into great colleges.[/quote]

There seemed to be a lot of people in the Catholic club at Princeton when I was there, but I agree a lot of my Catholic peers chose Notre Dame or Georgetown rather than excellent secular options.[/quote]

"Because of its Presbyterian roots, Princeton did not really welcome “papists” until the early years of the twentieth century. Today, Catholics make up 20 to 25 percent of the student body, or roughly 1,200 students, and are the largest single religious group on campus."  https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/catholicism-campus#:~:text=Because%20of%20its%20Presbyterian%20roots,single%20religious%20group%20on%20campus.[/quote]
