Wow, if this is true, they start early these days.

Our elementary school (Twinbrook) had kids vaping. They definitely start everything early now.

I have on good word that 4 girls went into a classroom and attacked a girl in front of the entire class and she was prepared and had a box cutter because she knew it was going to happen. She says the group had a knife and she had a box cutter it sounds like.

I heard the same

More people need to be aware of the traumatic events happening at schools daily. Students, staff, schools are in crisis.

It sucks but Banneker is no worse tbat any others.
2 Rockville 14 year olds were arrested today riding in a car they had stolen overnight. Skipped school today to drive around in it…. 8th graders. It’s nuts.

That’s a huge exaggeration. This stuff isn’t happening in Bethesda at Pyle or Westland.

How do you know it’s not happening at Pyle or Westland

Or at Parkland for what’s it’s worth. The admin there are really strong. Not sure about other schools since we only know them.

Second that. If it’s not happening at Pyle it’s not because there’s strong admin.

Yeah it's like bragging there isn't vaping and knife fights at Hogwarts because of the admin

We’re not at Banneker or Loiderman, but I have a kid at another MCPS MS. There are regularly fights and sometimes they spill over into the neighborhood areas/stores.

The political climate is currently anti-police, so our police department is under funded. Our political leaders chose to remove SROs from schools and embrace restorative justice.

Kids learn early that they can get away with horrible behavior and that nobody cares. Nobody will administer consequences.

I don't know how this all works but am wondering how the the world you'd execute a restorative justice plan with a neck stabbing...

Not quite. My neighbor's kid is at Parkland and has talked about the fights there. Parkland has its share of fights also. Too many kids, not enough staff. It's just run of the mill at most MSs in Montgomery County.

Kids were getting unalived all the time at hogwarts. Vaping and knife fights would have been the least of its problems

That’s fair. My bar is embarrassingly low apparently. I figured the admin were able to stop fights before it got serious enough to call 911. I don’t recall any fights making the news either. Yeah it’s not all rainbows and happiness there but thankfully ds never felt unsafe.
