Things my 8th grader will not miss once leaving Deal

[Anonymous]

We had a lovely dinner conversation this evening and this is the short list that was talked about:
1 - Avoiding Nerf Gun Battles in the Hallways
2 - Locked Bathrooms
3 - Going to the Bathroom and watching others give stick and poke tattoos
4 - Fights
5- Classmates pulling fire alarms
6 - Bathrooms without soap
7 - Smell of pot while walking to / from school
8 - Going to class and there not being any adults there
9 - Going to class and there being a bunch of kids there who are not in the class
10 - Having an assembly to talk about school rules and knowing it is a joke and will never be enforced

So, middle school. Great attempt to slam deal tho

#7–are you moving out of DC? Because that’s the only way I stopped smelling pot on my way anywhere.

Sad that DC’s best middle school is so trashy.

And I’m sure the school won’t miss you either.

+1. My kids haven’t encountered these things at their private middle school either. They’re intrigued by our neighbor’s stories of fights at our zoned-middle school and couldn’t believe it when they heard condoms were found in the bathroom.
