Tyshon Perry. The story is gutwrenching. The parents think that he was stabbed when he was trying to break up a fight. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/tyshons-dying-a-frantic-call-sent-a-dc-mother-to-her-son-stabbed-in-a-melee-but-it-was-too-late/2018/05/06/1eb30478-4fc3-11e8-af46-b1d6dc0d9bfe_story.html?utm_term=.3531981b78ab http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/family-of-tyshon-perry-looking-for-answers-say-teen-fatally-stabbed-was-trying-to-break-up-fight |
It's a heartbreaking story. |
| C'mon every school has a discipline stat showing fights. Although serious, you can be in a preventive mode but that is not a fail-safe result. Every action has a reaction but all disruptions are not expel-worthy either. |
Word salad, is that you? |
They should choose a calmer color. |
Did you read the article I posted by Karl Racine (current DC AG)? Nobody every said kids should be expelled for fighting. But it shouldn't be dismissed as "kids will be kids" either. Tell that to Tyshon's parents ... |
This is so sad. This is why I would never send my kids to DC public school for middle school or high school. It’s too dangerous. We’ve never had a physical altercation at our school or with any of the students at our school for the 6 years we have been there. Kids get expelled immediately if they’re involved in any sort of physical altercation in or out of school. |
What a stupid thing to write here. What "kind" of school, "public" is really of little importance here. The kids involved in the NoMa stabbing are from a charter school btw. It's a bird brain's reflex to always find a simple generalization. It probably makes you feel better that, thankfully, you have it figured out by avoiding the plague of public school, blissfully ignorant how tenuous our lives are and how much more complex tragedies are. And I pray for you that you will continue to be in luck, not to find your child run over by a car, or arrested on a college campus for smoking weed, or drawn out to see by a rip tide, or taken out by cancer, found with a needle in their arm, or rocked by sexual assault, as - if you read the news - these are all things that happen to very good people who never ever fight in school. |
Say what? |
Hi PP. As I already explained to you on the Wilson thread and the privates school thread, for kids at very many DCPS schools, including middle and high schools, are not unsafe, and being "jumped" as you have put it on several threads is not in their top 50 concerns. |
| DCPS doesn't take school safety seriously. When will ya'll come to grips with that. And then ya'll elect a nimrod to Council to oversee this chaos. Be like smoking Grasso. You get what you deserve. Flush. |
While I can’t sign on to your entire statement, I did enjoy the “smoking Garsso” comment. He must be one of the most incompetent members of the Council in recent history. He seems to only be worried about an issue after five Washington Post articles. He is an apologist for a broken system and not a leader. |
| Did not want to start a new thread but seeing a lot of Stuart Hobson behavior problems again in the neighborhood. |
Can you elaborate PP? I live four blocks from SH but am not aware of issues. Not saying you are wrong, just haven’t seen them. I have kids at L-T, so vested interest. |
