Agree. And don’t bother doing a region with DCC schools and Whitman. It’s silly and tone death. Some of us could live and go to Whitman and choose other areas to avoid that kind of school.
+1 the people clamoring to go to Whitman do not live in the DCC
Sometimes I think the lady doth protests too much. You could’ve just left it with the fact that people generally self-segregate into similar socioeconomic groups instead of trying to take a swipe at Whitman with your weird virtue signaling. Fun fact. It’s not some badge of honor to live in a poor or lower class area and your kind of attitude usually gets met with an eye roll.
Wait, in order to not "virtue signal" I have to be striving to live somewhere other than where I currently live? I can't just be happy where I am?
Consider the Einstein MVC poster, for example. They do not seem happy.

It’s clear you’re not happy or satisfied when you need to try to make downward comparisons to wealthier area.

Did you read your first link? It isn’t bc kids are going private. It’s declining immigration and birth rates.
Yes, sure... Trust what the school board is saying who just asked for billions in tax revenue to repair buildings... It's not because of that! They have no self interest to preserve. Have you used your brain or do you trust everything they say?
Uh, the school board did not write YOUR link.
Your don’t seem well.
"Your" (aka you) seem dumb. Just want to use "your" vernacular to not offend in this day in age.
The article cited MCPS officials. During Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting, Donald Connelly, the capital budget and projects manager for MCPS, told board members that the number of live births in Montgomery County has been dropping.
Yes it's less live births! Not people fleeing for private schools and other jurisdictions.
