Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
What are you even talking about? You compared this RAPE to two kids having consensual sex in a bathroom. I am saying that there is no comparison. Yes, kids shouldn't be having sex in the stairwell, but that is nowhere near the same thing as a 14 year old being brutally raped in the bathroom. If you think it's comparable then there is not even a point in having a discussion. |
Agreed. I had hope for Smith but his performance on this incident has been a complete disgrace. F- |
Yes. There should be enough guards at the school for ALL kids. White, AA, Latinos, Asians. 5 guards at Rockville HS was obviously not enough to prevent this rape. If the issue is funding, then it is a resources issue. |
+1000 he's gotta go! He's failling our kids. |
Guess what? It's possible to worry about both. I am for tighter gun regulation but I am also for tighter control on immigration issues. So, you are okay with kids who are here illegally (so no info about them - no address, no birth certificate, no vaccine info) being on schools, but you want regulation on hubs? Okay, how about we do both? |
Okay, take a deep breath. Go to the top of this post. Read the 1st line. Now do you understand? |
+1 His was supposed to be a temporary appointment until they hired a permanent Superintendant. When is that going to happen? It is clear that he is not taking the issue seriously and is trying to minimize the problem by calling it an 'event'. Not sure what his story is - is he trying to get further ahead politically? Just trying to sweep it under the rug. |
| $17,000 per year per illegal in Montgomery County Public Schools. Taxpayers are being robbed blind. |
Especially because the kids in Head Start tend to be lower income so somewhat vulnerable as it is. I hope their are safeguards in place to keep these young kids out of the way of the general HS population. Especially when it is obvious that we do not know anything about the kids attending HS. |
+1000 he really doesn't care and keeps trying to minimize this. His use of language when talking about this brutal rape. Call it what it is. He's also trying to disperse responsibility for this by saying " we (school employees) all responsible" No, Mr. Smith the buck stops with you. This is 100% on you head. I hope this girls family family sues you out of a job. |

Where is the $ for that kind of school security supposed to come from?
I'm still not clear on how the victim knew the one perp? |
| No, 8:44. Don't be dumb. |
Your property taxes! |
+1,000,000 - Please go away, Mr. Jack Smith. You're good for nothing. |
| The failure by the administration to even look at the situation to see if there is a problem is terrible. They are just digging in their heels. Of course there are bad white kids, bad black kids, bad legal immigrates, bad illegal immigrates but many more good. But does the policy of allowing kids who you know are illegal immigrants but you do not have documentation of true age (plus incentive to lie about age), no understanding of their background, no documentation of supervision or residency, knowing they are fleeing from a bad environment into school with the current population increase the risk of crime against students? Maybe it doesn't (I doubt) and notice I personally do not feel that the ability to speak English is relevant. Look at the safety impact and the resource impact. why won't they even look at the program to see if it is flawed?? I cannot believe Smith dug in his heels. The rape was terrible, gruesome, but it could have been even worse and next time might be. Please just look at the policy, why is it unreasonable to have to provide proof of age? why it unreasonable to have to provide proof of residency, proof of a clean record? The taxpayers, parents have a right to know. |
