O'Malley and liberal's rely heavily on a bell curve.

All BS-don't buy this. What they forget to mention is how the test scores are modified based on the number of students who are labeled as having some type of learning disability. Labeling is epidemic in MD. If any parents are experiencing this do your research. Don't allow you child to be labeled so politicians can have a platform to brag on.

Moved here from NJ a few years ago. My kids were nearly a full grade level ahead of their Maryland classmates.

What an ignorant statement from someone who claims their child is a full grade level ahead of their MD classmates. I would love to know how you came to this conclusion without access to other students academic records, or perhaps your child was placed in a below level grouping while awaiting transcripts from their former school. There are plenty of extremely intelligent students in this county, I know because I have taught them. If these schools are so inferior, in your opinion, I would hope that you immediately removed them and returned to New Jersey . As for the rest of you, be proud of our state, our students, and our teachers.
