What school ‘without those issues’? There are drugs and fights, etc in every single MCPS school. Yeah, I agree that our school isn’t ‘so good’ but we have to stay in MoCo for work, can’t afford private school and I positive that you’ll find few schools that don’t have issues of some kind. |
We’re talking about sexual assault. Do you think girls should just give the assaulter what he wants? No thanks. I have taught my girls to bite and scream and kick and do whatever they can. I’ll let them take their chances carrying mace. |
Better call Saul. |
| Does anyone know what happened?? |
Parents like you and the ones that allow their kids to rape others are why we need far more security, metal and bag detectors. You need to move your kids to a safer school. No way I’d leave my kids there. |
Parents like me? I have two daughters. Could happen, but it quite unlikely that they will rape others. You sound unhinged. And you are delusional if you think there is a ‘safer school’. Do you think private Catholic schools are safer? Tons of young boy victims will disagree. I’ll keep my kids at RM and try to help them feel less defenseless. Am I unhappy about the drugs and violence in schools? Yes, very much. But there is also too much violence against women in our society as a whole, and I guess schools are no different unfortunately. |
Ha ha! |
dp.. I went to a pretty rough school, way rougher than RMHS. While I would absolutely not want my kid to experience my HS, nor am I happy with all the incidents at RM, I'm not anxious about sending my kid there. I had one graduate recently. They loved their experience there. The other one also loves it there, despite all the incidents. By and large, if your kid is not part of a rough crowd, your kid won't be impacted. That was me in my HS. I was in most of the AP and honors (real honors, not fake ones like today) classes, and almost never interacted with the rougher set. Same for my kids. |
Rockville has had far more serious incidents than many other schools. You live in a million dollar house, you can afford to move. Stop screaming poverty when its lifestyle choices. |
You realize this thread is not about Rockville HS? Stop screaming nonsense when you’re an idiot. |
? how do you know PP lives in a million dollar house? |
No, when someone robs you, you should give them the beating of their life, with scars to remember you by. When you “give them what they want” they not infrequently decide they want something more. The idea that people should meekly comply with criminal demands is a patronizing fraud developed by the same armed government personnel who don’t want anyone else to be able to defend themselves. Believing that you are secure because criminals will act morally and virtuously if you cooperate — now that’s a false sense of security. |
Anecdotal story here from the 90s. A military parent (some kind of special forces guy) taught kids how to fight. Like kill or be killed fight. Some guy touched his daughter inappropriately and she broke him into pieces. You could say the guy "learned his lesson" but she was expelled from MCPS and they could not get a private school to admit her. They had to move and last I heard it looked like they were on the hook for a lifetime of medical care. You don't live in a TV show and if you are going to teach your kids how to fight back then also teach them how / when to stop. |
You sound like me. I'm not anxious about sending my kids there either. My kids aren't part of the rough crowd so they won't be impacted with the rough crowd shenanigans. The issues my kids would be impacted by (mean girls and those types of UMC shenanigans) could be found at any high school that is deemed better. |
Have no idea what happened. Responses on this thread are a little alarming. Pepper spray is a weapon according to Maryland law. It’s not allowed in schools. Both the student and their parents can be charged with crimes for this. |
