Nothing ever happens until it happens to you.

Students complain of inadequate supervision.

Supervisors say they are rent seeing anything.

That's what students are complaining about!


Sounds more like fearmongering than anything.


Not even close. The safety situation in high schools is dire and staff, students, and parents are right to sound the alarm.


Not sure what you're talking about.


Pretty clear that the lack of safety and security in secondary schools has reached a crisis point, and this has nothing to do with political agendas, it has to do with safety. Assault, drugs, weapons, and intruders are way more common than is publized. I teach in a DCC HS, do you?

If your want to be honest, this is being hyped by posters with a political agenda, and this is not accurate.


You have to be some kind of scum to dismiss the firsthand experience of a teacher and accuse them of being motivated by a political agenda and not accurate.

You're dismissing my firsthand experience... People with a political agenda making false claims aren't credible.

My kid is at RM. I don’t think she’d say she feels completely safe. They are all acutely aware of the issues with fights, kids with guns, etc. on the other hand, I don’t think she feels particularly threatened and this isn’t her top worry in HS. She keeps her eyes open and avoids anyplace that looks like trouble brewing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not an issue and the bathrooms being locked is definitely an issue for all kids. They need more security guards posted outside the bathrooms.

I'm sure the bathrooms being locked is a school safety issue. Seems like more of an administrative issue.

Teacher here with plenty of firsthand experience with dangerous situations in schools. I’ve been shoved. I’ve broken up fights. I’ve dealt with knives.

Can you tell me what firsthand experience you have that proves this is merely some political agenda?

And fwiw, I’m as liberal as people come.

Do you follow what's going on in the county? Was it the admin's decision to rid of SROs? They wanted to keep them. ONE CommunityEngagementOfficer CEO for multiple schools isn't going to work in solving any bathroom safety and security issues.

Does your kid go to RM? I bet not. It's not an administrative issue, but even if it was, then the admins aren't doing a good job.

Not liberal. Progressive. MoCo progressives are so far left, they're no longer liberal.

WTOP not credible now? Would they report on something that wasn't credible?

An article which merely rehashes the same vague concerns being hyped here by far-right activists isn't really all that meaningful.

The SMOB is a far right activist? I didn't think WTOP was the type of news program that regurgitates right wing activists without looking into it as credible. What other WTOP news piece is a mouth piece for right wing activists?
