This is a Maryland ignorant thing..that's all. As we all know, in Maryland, when people ask you where you went to school, it's high school!! If you're public and you finally get around in a conversation of misquoting your college, not your high school, you get the disparaging look of disgust that you are in fact a "public school" kid. Ewww gross.

It's a funny nuance of Maryland's culture and once you leave this state, it's irrelevant. Us public school people just laugh and play your funny game "where did you go to HIGH SCHOOL?" as it's your social standing, gain entry card. Again, we are talking about high school, lol.
