I find it interesting how this thread has been completely ignored, while the BCC lockdown thread is at 13 pages. I guess no one cares about the kids at Paint Branch.

Maybe Paint Branch parents aren't spending all day on DCUM.

It also turned out to be a false alarm, whereas in the BCC situation, video evidence of the fight and gun was shared. Of course that's going to generate more conversation than a brief lockdown that ultimately led to nothing at Paint Branch.

There was a lockdown at Blake the other day that didn’t even make the news. Kid made a threat but no weapon found. Stupid kids and stupid parents.

Nothing says "DC Urban lifestyle" quite like Burtonsville.

Because DCUM is made up of 50% people who live in wealthy areas and have a personal interest in wealthy schools, and 50% of others who love to dump on wealthy schools. That combination makes for long threads!

^ and I hope the kids in lockdown emerge unscathed.

My kid was in lockdown yesterday at BCC. She felt fine coming out of school, but then was incredibly grumpy and tired in the evening. Please monitor your kids - they might not understand themselves how they're feeling, and it might take a little time for them to process what they feel.

Well, lucky for you MCPS says they have additional crisis counselors available for your child to speak with and help her process!

Thanks to PP for finally bringing up the effects of all this on students. No they are NOT F fine. They are NOT. Just because they don't say anything doesn't make them ok. Talk to your kids and keep communications open, for the sake of our society.

Guess the BOE and Taylor are making no true changes.

Where was Taylor's response to the near-bcc incident that affected a very large community not only that school?

Now this has turned into the BCC lockdown 2.0. Thanks for proving my point.
