Fights at ACHS/TC

[Anonymous]

Why are there so many violent fights at Alexandria City High School this year? Is the school doing anything about it?

They need to bring back the SROs.

Don't forget GW. Apparently, the principal got punched in the face during one of the fights.

Lack of discipline.

The principal of the middle school got punched in the face ?

Video proof or STFU. There is a concerted effort by two or three unhinged moms on FB to make it sound like there are daily riots.

My 11th grader hasn't seen a single one.

Really? I agree with you that certain parents are making and unnecessary stink but my daughter is in 11th and she has long said fights are a near daily occurrence at AC and GW. She said they are girls fighting a vast majority of the time, and typically end pretty quickly. But they are frequent enough that she roles her eyes when I mention them.

I was speaking with some 8th graders at GW who told me they have seen two fights on the bus, one where a girl dragged another girl off the bus and the fight continued outside, and then another in the cafeteria where the boys ended up falling on kids at another table who weren't even involved. A friend's 6th grader has a child in her class that starts so many fights that he has an escort from class to class and during lunch. He either starts fights or literally just runs out of the school, every day.

That didn't happen.

Agreed. my son goes there and is home sick today. He says that, unless it happened this morning and he just hadn't heard about it yet, didn't happen.

My son saw a video that another student took of the bus fight between girls. He saw one minor "fight" in the cafeteria that was really just one boy standing menacingly over another. He says he has not personally seen another fight at school.

It's unfortunate about the child in your friend's child's class (younger than my son), but it sounds like he has a disability and an 1:1 aide, so what else are you wanting the school to do about him?

Kick him out because he's dangerous and disruptive.

That's .... not how it works. If he can be accomodated with an aide or escort, under IDEA, that's what the school has to do for him.

But ... does it really sound like he's being accommodated? And what about what this does to the other kids in the class--emotionally, mentally, academically?
