It's a result of housing segregation... The county politics and NIMBYism is concentrating poverty and related issues based on family income. |

| I love Friday night football games as they have a certain level of excitement to them. However, it might be time to consider moving them to Saturday afternoons. |

Let's stay on topic. You know it's all about loss of socialization skills from being locked down for a year. |

Schools have been back in person for over a year. |

And that doesn't mean they suddenly recover from a year of lockdown. These kids are ruined. |

Kids are resilient and most have "recovered", whatever that means. This is not about school closures--a lot more is going on and clearly there are problems that need to be addressed, not just blamed on one policy from two years ago. |

The fighting at sports events has also happened at Churchill and BCC.... |

The entire country is in crisis, in case you haven't seen the news. |

When I was in high school years and years and years ago, so way pre-pandemic. there was a fight in the BCC parking lot after a game against WJ in which a student's eye was knocked out of its socket. in other words, this has nothing to do with the year of lockdown. |

Really? That's not what we're seeing. The learning loss alone is impacting behaviors. Kids are frustrated they can't read or do math. |

Uh, those kids were ruined long before covid lockdown, long before they even started school. |
