Wow!

"Poor people don't deserve good schools."

Capitalism rewards hard work. That is why Capitalism--not socialism--- has produced thousands of advancements of goods and services that have have bettered society at an exponential rate. We went from tending Lord's farms and nurse maiding while living on cold earthen floors and dying of dysentery to practically stamping out disease, poverty and illiteracy in a handful of generations. All thanks to Capitalism. #KeepWorking

Agree! But that doesn't mean poor CHILDREN, who bear no responsibility for the failures of their parents, should be doomed to poor schools.

(And for whatever its worth, my father is a retired admiral and we rented forever and a day. Weird for PP to judge his well-behaved, driven kids on that.)

C'mon - it's Biblical. The sins of the father...yadda, yadda...upon the sons to the third and fourth generation. Gotta whoop 'em into shape!

This argument consistently fails to persuade people who believe in the just world hypothesis. The logical conclusion is that they believe the children should have worked harder before being born, so that they could have been born to better parents.

My kids don't do well because we're umc. They do well because we have the culture and work ethic to be umc. I would love for progressives to do something progressive and go teach workshops of what that means to parents in other areas.

Here's an example: we had a neighbor on housing vouchers. She had 3 kids all different dads, ex felon the whole deal. One kid brings home homework and she reads it. Sounds promising so far right? Nope. The homework was an excerpt of British English where the mother in the story is called mum. The parent goes on a tirade about how stupid the teacher is and why should her son listen to this teacher if she can't even proof read her assignment. And the point isn't that she got it wrong. The point is that she started an argument with the teacher over this. Her idea was you make a stand and assert yourself with anyone infront of you to make them respect you. That's not the culture that leads to success in our society. I would have told my child that you will now be calling me mum until the school year is over because that person holds your future in their hands.

How do you know so much about this family anyway? It's always suspicious to me how dcum posters have these rich anecdotes about people they barely know or interact

There were also threats at a middle school and an elementary school. My theory is either an older sibling. Put him up to this and explained that he would not face actual consequences, or the high school was a false flag so that people didn't start looking for a middle schooler after the middle school threat was called in.

MCPS also needs a better social media monitoring and management strategy than what they have. Since they created a position of chief medical officer, they probably need to deputize someone under IT with monitoring and managing the risk and threat of student activity on social media. Could be a joint effort with MCPD and an extension of the CEO program.

LoL please explain how that would work! Figure out and follow every student account? Only follow the obvious ones and give a false sense of security? Elaborate!

If you don't know how law enforcement uses enterprise-grade tools to monitor and investigate social media activity, you're probably not well-versed enough to engage in the conversation. So it's best to just stay out of it instead of assuming it's unfeasible.

😂😂😂. It’s clear folks don’t understand how “enterprise grade” tools work for monitoring activity. Not to mention how the law works. And we won’t even get into the AI training and people necessary to deal with false positives

As the middle school year after the Blair ones started?

Yeah, that'll make him into a functioning member of society.

Mcps needs to make him an example by expelling him. Make other kids think twice about pulling these kinds of stunts.

Have they even said he’s an MCPS student?

No, although it seems a reasonable assumption, since the police news release says " Detectives from the 3rd District Investigative Section, with the assistance of Montgomery County Public Schools IT staff, identified a 12-year-old as the individual responsible for all seven bomb threats."

They also haven't said that the bomb caller is a boy, which hasn't stopped DCUM posters from saying things like "I hope he can be expelled from school" or "MCPS needs to make an example of him."

Based on national statistics, it’s most likely a boy.

I assume it’s a boy. It may not be. I could be wrong.

Who cares?

This makes sense. All 3 schools are also very close to each other. Possibly siblings at all 3 schools?

Making an example in this case will lead to a poorer outcome for both this child and everyone who crosses his path in the future. But sure, as long as you get your classless revenge, we're good, right?

Sound like you’re cool with having him in your child’s class. What school? I’ll make sure MCPS sends him over. Thanks!

Yes, I would be. We're at a private outside the DMV, though. I'm an MCPS grad, and this is the least of their worries.

Because unlike the holier-than-thou NiMBYs on this board who love to chastise everyone else, I actually become friends and my children become friends with those who live around us- no matter their financial situation, race, etc. That's why I have an opinion based on experience vs just thinking grand thoughts about how the world would have rainbow farting unicorns if we just give poor people more money

That's because you sit in an ivory tower and have zero real.life experience with the nut pie in the sky crap you parrot and like to identify with.

I wouldn't describe a friend the way you described your "friend," and if I were your "friend" and you described me like that, I wouldn't want to be friends with you.

I'm what you would call a RWNJ, and I'm the PP who's arguing children shouldn't be punished for their parents' bad decisions that she's replying to. Careful assuming people's politics.

Of course you’d assume. Anything that doesn’t agree with your very narrow world view must certainly be made up. You’re an intellectual like that.
