Rockville in the Hizzy, Y'all

Did I mention I love where I live?

Yalda and about 50 other Wootton students were on an unusual field trip that took them to Washington National Cathedral, the Islamic Mosque and Cultural Center and the synagogue. They marveled at stained glass and gothic arches, watched Muslim men perform noon prayers and heard about the history of the Jewish community in Washington, all in an effort become familiar with religious traditions many had never seen up close.

Not just every school system would allow for a field trip like this. Seriously cool, IMHO.

I'm sure the GED program doesn't have such cool field trips, but wouldn't it be a little less embarrassing for you?

I wasn't suggesting that I wanted to attend the fieldtrip, but that Montgomery County has an excellent school system for an opportunity to break down the walls of stereotypes.
