No, its very specifically "regionalism"


Not sure about "regionalism", since these are small swaths of land that touch each other ("neighborhoodism"?), but race, class, and neighborhood are all so tightly correlated, I'm not sure there's any credible reason to draw a distinction.


Regionalism exists between small areas that are cheek-by-jowl geographically as well as larger territories such as North versus South Italy or N vs S Germany. That's what regionalism is.

There is no such word as "neighborhoodism".

OP - Look at the thread about Northwood High. Someone came on that post specifically to post that the high school must be bad because it is near PG County.

That's why PG needs its own board.

That's sad but makes sense.

Why does the MD public schools forum exclude PG county? Why not just make a forum for MC county and PG county?
