Where is a large brawl more likely to happen. A school with a police officer present or one without?

Where is a brawl more likely to get out of hard. A school with a police officer or one without?

I mean it’s August, school hasent even opened yet and we already had the largest brawl I can remember in Arlington.

I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be teacher at Wakefield or Alexandria City this HS to be the guinie pig in this little liberal experiment.

I hope that you weren’t educated in Arlington because your spelling is atrocious.

our kids attend Wakefield- they thought the decision to remove SROs was bad and they said they made a difference

on the news regarding the Yorktown fight they interviewed 2 parents -1 Hispanic parent who said the police should have been called and 1 white parent who said police weren’t needed

It will 100% happen.

Sending in a social worker won’t work in a brawl.

Students and teachers get hurt in schools with SROs too.

says somebody who isn't a teacher. I was there and this was a lot. even the custodians got involved in stopping kids. an SRO would have made me feel a lot better

I am PP, a special ed teacher who has been injured at school.

A guy hit a girl . My public HS had a ton of fights back in the day. They were always girl-girl or boy-boy. Hitting a girl was frickin' taboo no matter how much she got in your face and instigated.

Now that I am in my late 40s, there is no way I’m getting in the middle of one of these fights. Sorry, but I know my limitations. Students are stronger than me and it is not worth risking injury or liability.

+1

Mmm. Yea. Any SRO I know would’ve let the kid get beat for at least a minute. Probably why the cops weren’t called

Taboo but not unheard of. Had one of these at my college. Guy hit a girl the night before.. next day not so good for him.
Ask Snooki Guys do hit girls.

+1 I used to jump in all the time. These days going forward? Nope. I am going back into my classroom and from there I will call the office to send help. I can't believe I typed that but it is what it is. My safety is important and we need those police officers in our schools.

DP who also works in Special Ed. I think a lot of people will just dial 911. That's probably going to end worse than having SROs who at least get to know the kids.

+1 After a year out of school the kids have forgotten how to behave. This is absolutely the worst time to pull SROs out of schools.

I’m a high school teacher, and I’m absolutely pissed they took the SROs out. I have seen it on more than one occasion where a child was being predated upon by an adult in the community, abs the SRO took care of business.

They’re not all Derek Chauvin. This is so ridiculous.

Oh stop it - they didn’t send the SROs to the Bermuda Triangle, they are all just as close to being dispatched to a school as they are to your home or car. Somehow adults can manage to face their day without a cop waiting in their break room at the office, in case. If some student is being “predated upon” (I think the word you are looking for is “groomed”), then a youth-trained law enforcement officer is still able to intervene on the students behalf.

Either you have not bothered to understand what the changes are, or you are on the payroll of the new republican initiative to discredit local D prosecutors as being soft on crime by manufacturing outrage around recent progressive initiatives. We know your tactics.
