As evidence of a growing Lacrosse community in Prince George’s County there are now 9 High School Lacrosse teams in the county. DeMatha High School has one of the best High School Lacrosse programs in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area.
Bishop McNamara High School’s Boy’s Lacrosse and Girl’s Lacrosse programs are only in their second year. St. Vincent Pallotti High School has more established tradition in Boy’s and Girl’s Varsity Lacrosse. While Elizabeth Seton High School’s team is off to a 2-0 start in 2009. Bowie High School has a Girl’s Club Lacrosse team and they too are off to an impressive start.
Eleanor Roosevelt High School also has a Girl’s Club Lacrosse Team and figures to improve as the 2009 Lacrosse Season progresses. Eleanor Roosevelt High School has a Boy’s Club Lacrosse Team too. The Raiders have is a very young team with more than 40% of their players in their freshman year. This team promises to be very competitive in the Maryland Independent Lacrosse League in the coming years. It’s is almost emblematic of the Lacrosse in the Prince George’s County with lost of promise and lots of growth lessons to learn.

How did this thread go from being about a middle-class white family looking to move turn into yet another debate about PG's school system and it's lack of lacrosse teams. lol

If you spanked little Logan and Little Cindy when they were 2 y/o the minute they said no or hit you back then they would become this monster that they are now.

You said: 'This is not the 60s'
And yet it is common to hear people saying that the education system has deteriorated over the decades.

You said: 'As someone who works with youth daily we can't fix their problems.'
Defeatist statement; so you are essentially saying that there is nothing that can be done to fix dysfunctional students creating a culture of dysfunction in school.

You said: 'They did not become these teenage monsters at 15-18 years old.'
Are you not familiar with hormones? It is no secret that parents claim that the teenage years are the worst.

You said: 'If you spanked little Logan and Little Cindy when they were 2 y/o...'
Since you are a person that 'works with children', I will assume you are aware of child developmental psychology. You treat situations in accordance to the requirement; spanking a 2 year old is never the answer. Corporal punishment should not be used as a 'go-to' much like 'zero tolerance' policies are currently across the US's K-12 education system. It is a corrective action utilized to prevent monsters from being monsters (which they are today, SURPRISE, SURPRISE).

Lack of accountable moderators.

Exactly around the 7th grade the influence of parents diminish and peers pressure sets in. If the school environment is not conducive to learning even the best of kids will falter.

Hip hop or urban culture is very popular and profitable and not because it's only the black kids supporting it.

Use you brain!

Schools are very segregated. Even in diverse schools there is quite a bit of self segregation.
