It will sell, probably in a couple days over list, likely with no inspection contingency. The buyer will be someone from DC or Montgomery County who comes with cash in their pockets who will be laughing inside at the steal they got. The reason for the latter is because the price is so much...

In truth, they always were. If you were in Academic or Honors classes you didn't see them except maybe in PE, Art and Music if even then. They didn't take ALG1, they took "Math for Living". They didn't take American or British Lit, they took "Everyday English Parts 1 and 2". The Bell curve...

I was addressing that to Vrai in the quote I used above yours. The second half was about moving kids around, which you'd mentioned.

I think you've kind of lost track. I mentioned students TODAY who are the first in their family to graduate from high school. That means their parent(s) would have quit twenty plus years ago. As far as what the graduation rate is, you have to take it at face value while realizing that there...

It was rare when we went to school, although you're a fair amount younger than me, because the kids who weren't going to graduate dropped out. Some at the end of Junior High, some during High School but when Commencement Day came they weren't around. And, if someone looks, they will find that...

So? We're not talking graduation rate (which can be massaged six ways to Sunday to get the number you want).

Is it located in a rural area of Southern Maryland with a substantial lower class population with generational poverty, low achievement and dependence on government programs? No, that's not "just in Lexington Park".

I agree but with a caveat. There are still kids, today in 2025-mostly boys, who are the first kid in their family, again mostly males since girls tended to stick it out, to graduate from high school. That doesn't excuse inviting a couple dozen people but I see why it's thought that it needs to...

Rain. Outdoor venues always have to have a backup plan. Apparently, no one thought of that and one was cobbled together at the last minute instead of being ready when the original schedule was made. And it did rain the 28th. Having said that, no one needs to have your next door neighbor's...

Ok, my link took me to the wrong year's SB 292.

There was legislation introduced this year to take expired tags, among other things, off the list of primary reasons to stop. https://marylandmatters.org/2024/11/26/advocates-plan-to-push-legislation-that-would-rein-in-random-traffic-stops/...

We had a guy up here, and you knew him probably, who always had Historic tags. That guy with vehicles was like the Comanche were with getting another 1000 miles at a trot with horses that were blown, he'd get another 100,000 on a vehicle that normal people would send to the crusher.

That was done to stop alleged selective enforcement because it seems that one or another population cohort violates those laws more than other cohorts. Disparate impact and such, ya know.

I don't drive 235 often but they do it on 4, as well as other Calvert roads. What you also have are the people who raise Hell whenever police do their jobs. Watch some First Amendment auditors sometime who go out of their way to provoke confrontations, including while driving. Do you really...

It is, but the latter is going to be way more random. Someone unsafely pulling out in front of you has to have the officer right there to see it. Same with someone using their phone. Or playing the Southern Maryland Bob and Weave. And I've seen people pulled over for all of those.
