I can't believe the sad, sad state that Prince Georges County Maryland Public Schools is in.

I can't believe that 24 out of 26 high schools in my county did not meet AYP last year (adequate yearly progress)

I can't believe that in a county that has the highest concentration of middle-income Black Americans we are one of the lowest ranking counties in the state as far as education.

I can't believe that we are not all doing our fair share (parents/educators/community groups) to improve this situation.

I can't believe that I am actually planning to work during a portion of my spring break.

(Serious Sigma, I got one of your Fairfax County babies into my class yesterday and I am amazed at what he knows!)

Sorhor Bluereign,

I can't believe that P. G. County is having that problem as well.

I can't believe that FCPS (Fairfax County) doesn't really acknowledge vocational education all we do is focus on 99.9% college/university enrollment to the top schools.

I can't believe that they don't teach students to be well rounded.

What's wrong with a child wanting to be a mechanic, plumber, electrician, hair stylist, chef, etc? Those occupations are just as important as the doctor, lawyer, nurse, accountant, educator, police person, etc.. How's a sociologist or psychologist gonna help me when my sink is clogged or my car needs a tuneup?

I can't believe that parents with children that are diagnosed with mild retardation or serious physical challenges refuse special education services and put their kids in "Honors" and "Advanced Placement" classes. It's just crazy how the county and parents are so obsessed over good grades and getting into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Spellman, Morehouse, etc. and will go to such crazy lengths to push their child through the system. Are they really helping or hurting their son/daughter?

Sorhors and friends,

I can't believe that the local news only covered the death of the pope. I would like to find out the weather for tomorrow.

I can't believe that the rain won't just won't let up!
Welcome to Spring!

I can't believe that there's nothing good on TV. (I'm bored!)

I can't believe that we're gonna spring ahead this weekend.
Don't forget to set your clocks and change out the batteries on your smoke alarms.

I can't believe i made it through my first year of college though it presented some major hurdles!

I can't believe i've made so many new friends this year especially through being a prospective of Sigma Gamma Rho! (Hey to all my sistafriends from the SMB!!)

I can't believe i have another family! (I <3 The MBJs!)

I can't believe the Pope died (even though he was old)

I can't believe they elected an old person to be the new Pope (wouldn't have made sense to elect someone younger so he would be around awhile!)

I can't believe I stepped in and almost broke up a fight between two 9th grade boys! ( I just don't do that.)

I can't believe that my son will be a 9th grader himself next year. (Where did the years go?)

younger. Though I am sad that we will never do the things we promised each other we were gonna do together, I am happy is not suffering any more. She was brillant person and I was glad I got to know her.
