| Anyone know what happened this morning? Some kind of fight where someone sprayed pepper spray. |
| Student sprayed pepper spray or SRO/school official sprayed pepper spray? |
| My understanding is student |
| That’s probably illegal. However better to use that rather than a gun. |
| Even IB can do only so much to help that school. Sigh |
| Not the first incident. We had a student-led pepper spray incident at our school last year too. |
LOL Idk if it’s illegal. I’m sending my DD to school with pepper spray. My kid is at RM and there was a robbery AT school, in the school bathroom. They have individuals enter the school who shouldn’t be there. System-wide, MCPS has displayed its inability to keep our students (and teachers) safe in schools and on the bus - look at the history of sexual assaults on buses and in schools. If anyone so much as tries to lay a finger on my DD, she knows to kick them in the nuts and spray. Ask questions later. If she gets in trouble for doing that, so be it. |
Also illegal for kids to smoke weed in the bathrooms at RM, yet that happens regularly. Also illegal for kids to bring Fentanyl and other drugs to schools, but MCPS has had issues with that as well. Lots of ‘illegal’ things are allowed to go on unchecked in this county. |
| Yes, its illegal to send paper spray to a public school. |
I fully support this! I think it’s a good idea and better she has something to defend herself with and be a helpless victim. |
Cool. Tell MCPS to take the sexual predators out of our schools and maybe we can re-assess. Sexual assault is also illegal, yet it happens. My kid will protect herself, tyvm. |
And, if your child gets caught with pepper spray, you might want to have a good attorney on speed dial. Or, here's an idea, that good school you moved to isn't so good so go private or move to a school without those issues. |
If someone robs you, it's best to just give them what they want. Do you have any clue how many students are carrying guns and knives in schools right now? Mace will do nothing against those, and might even make a situation worse. Don't give your kid a false sense of safety. |
Guns at RM are so last year |
| It’s better than the teacher assault the first week of school. That was extremely traumatic. There are a lot of messed up kids at RM. Getting scary. |
