You need to stop pretending Wootton is a magical school with no issues. Especially when the sports teams are attacking team mates with brooms, football coach issues, and much more. They need a shake up. |
First of all, did I say anything in my comment at all about it being a magical school? I simply said that the commenter (maybe it’s you) is blaming the student body for someone who doesn’t even go there threatening the school. Which is ridiculous. All the schools have issues, but that was a ridiculous comment. |
They need a shake up? Let me get this straight-You think moving the entire student body to a different building is going to change student behavior? I’m not necessarily talking about Wootton but any school-changing a location doesn’t do anything. I’m not sure what you are suggesting with them needing a “shake up”? |
| What would a Gaithersburg student threaten Wootton unless she got riled up by all the adults wilding out over Option H? |
You get a brand new safe building. You ae forgetting previous serious issues. |
Maybe actually read the press release..”who stated that his child, who is a student at Wootton…” |
Truth. Bostick needs to own that the worst incident in Wootton history occurred under his watch, whereas Nelson intercepted issues before they happened. I think Bostick helped trash the school's reputation by not standing up for Wootton when Jamando's wife was on TV (even though she had no kids here and also is not a MCPS official). The school now worries more about a student parking in the wrong stall than academics. If he's doing this great a job trashing the school now, I can't wait to see what happens when the stress of moving to Crown kicks in. None of this happened under Nelson. |
Reality is, principals cannot stop everything that goes on in a school. You have to look at the student population with this one. The lack of supervision is a serious issue but they don't supervise kids in locker rooms which is a bad idea. Jawando's wife is not relevant. She's looking for attention. |
ok and how will this change student behavior? Do students have better behavior in nicer/newer buildings? |
Haha did you read it? The student they are referring to is the one who reported the instagram post to her mother, not the one who was charged. Don’t come at me when you are the one who in fact didn’t comprehend what was written. |
Oh this is embarrassing for you. The 16yr old who made the threat does not go to the school. The student that saw it online and reported it, is the one that goes to Wootton. And it was a bomb threat from what I hear |
The same can be said of Nelson. Principals cannot stop everything that goes on in a school. The difference is Nelson was handling things much better than Bostick is and a much softer touch. Nelson was removed in a heartbeat then Bostick moves in and turns the whole school upside down? Wootton needs calm, not drama, or the Crown move will be a total mess. |
| Whats the locker room thing at Wootton??? |
Yes. It’s called the broken window phenomenon. |
Bomb threat? That’s so 2005 |
