our education system has lead the nation in gains

My mistake, it was in certain subjects. The big thing was installment of Video Conferencing in
all high schools, which enables all schools to offer the same advanced classes. Grades have gone up steadily though.

If you have lead thats just because you were so far behind.

That is sad and true unfortunately (at least we rank higher than Mississippi, New Mexico, and West Virginia), but the future is bright. Congrats to MD on having the best public education in the nation though, I went to school there.
The thing is with it is that we have some really great high ranked public schools, and great private schools, but there are so many not so great public schools that pull us down. It all depends on what part of the state.
Also, in the past decade our state has gone from 48th to 42nd in Per Capita Income. It's low, but an improvement nonetheless.
The only reason I bring this up was the person from Ontario's rude comment about our state. We have hard-working, good people. We're a growing state, many choose to retire to our coast instead of Florida. Why hate? There's no point to it.
Sorry for that. Anyway, back to the main topic. I'm just hoping that Roy Moore doesn't make it... Governor Moore O.O That's plain scary.
