I agree with PPs who are calling out the snobby W parents on here.

If you aren't a snobby W parent, you have no reason to get huffy. If you are, you should take a step back and reconsider your snobbery. This gun BS is everywhere now. How about you focus on helping with that instead of sitting back and criticizing other schools all the time.

Here’s the thing. I’m a “w parent”. I’m not snobby, I work very very hard to send my kids to WJ but I recognize that I’m fortunate to do so. I’m huffy because our kids were in danger today and there are a bunch of a$$hole$ on here making this a w school vs other schools thing.
Start your own gd thread and let the adults discuss the matter at hand

DP but W parents do that all the times.
Had that been a non-W school, W parents would be here calling the school all kind of names, ganglandia, crime-infested etc...
So cry me a river.

Exactly. They’re constantly putting our schools down for having high FARMS rates, lower test scores, high rates of Hispanic students, etc.

Maybe now they can realize that the W schools aren’t an impenetrable palace of perfection and join the rest of us in the business of improving MCPS, instead of acting like it’s somebody else’s problem.

I think you should see about therapy and stop projecting your insecurities on others. It is no way to live life. Seriously.

W parents are such gaslighters.

They’re struggling right now. Their heads are exploding. Give them some grace.

Wow.
Wj has over three thousands students so it is more likely to happen there than other places. .

I am impressed the student who saw it showed leadership and responsibility and reported it. I can think of a few schools where that part wouldn't have happened.

DP. I wouldn't do it, but since nothing bad happened, and there isn't even any evidence that anything bad was intended to happen, I don't think "W parents need to re-examine your false sense of security and superiority with respect to the DCC" is so inappropriate here.

Your jealousy and insecure pettiness are cringeworthy, PP. The majority of families at W schools do not post on DCUM boasting about their schools. You've never met 99% of these people, and surely you'll concede that most of them aren't even thinking of DCC/W. That's mostly in your head. If you're so sensitive about your situation in the DCC that your first reflex is to criticize people who live in wealthier districts, something is very, very wrong with you.

For shame.

Here's a sampling of some of the DCUM threads where W school parents act holier than thou and above the riff-raff of the rest of MoCo:

WJHS is not a real W.

I just taught my students “No true Scotsman…” yesterday.

IKR?! The drugs aren't nearly good enough.

Snark and schadenfreude? Is that the best we can do, DCUM?

This young man has made a bad choice as a teen that will have lasting repercussions for the rest of his life.

Oh well. Sh¡t happens. But I dare say he’s old enough to know what a bad choice he made. He’s not 5.

This kid has a history. He was caught with a BB gun about a year and a half ago at Wildwood across the street. I think he was “expelled” after that, but obviously not permanently.

That’s what makes this even more terrifying for a parent. In all these school shootings around the country it just takes one kid with a “history” of something.

SROs have always been necessary. I guess unarmed school staff just love making a kid self search when they are suspected of having a handgun. Super safe for everyone.

People have a strange understanding of the meaning of the word "always". SROs weren't really a thing until after Columbine.

This needs to be addressed. Why was he allowed back into the classroom? This should not have happened when the kid has a ‘history’. I hope this aspect of the story gets some media attention.

Is is THE "W"

Is WJ a "fake" W school?

Yes. Seriously. The non-W people are so bitter that they are enjoying the fact that someone brought a gun to a W school. How pathetic and sad. I do feel for them because anyone that reacts that way is obviously in pain and projecting that pain onto others. As for the teen, we need to know more. How are parents supposed to send their kids to WJ today without knowing what the intent was and if it was an isolated incident?

Not as much as it sucks to not be at a W school so enjoy. Jealousy is not a pretty color on you. I'd change the look.

This is terrible but my thought too. The DCC schools seem to have less issues this year.

They're just not getting caught.
