They are doing exactly what the therapist that MCPS was suppose to hire wound do.

I'm not opposed to a therapist in the school, but seriously, do you think ONE therapist can walk the halls and keep the kids from becoming violent?

I like the Dads on Duty idea, but I disagree with a PP who stated that UMC moms would be upset about it. IMO, it's the woke brigade who would be upset by it. They will accuse some dad (most likely white) of yelling at a kid and so the whole batch needs to be thrown out. Oh, sorry, they are volunteers, not cops paid for by taxpayers, so maybe that's more acceptable to the PP who doesn't want SROs because they are paid for by taxdollars and the entire police system is corrupt. That PP still hasn't said whether they would call the cops or not if someone was trying to stab their kid.

Seriously though... let's talk parent volunteers. Dads need to get involved!!!!

In my years of pta experience, immigrant and poc dads plus white moms answer the calls for volunteers..not white males.

How is a therapist going to stop a knife fight? That’s absurd. We have counselors in the school now. They have not stepped in and stopped all the problems in these school the last few months.

It’s security. Dads on duty are free. How many dads can take off during the day and do it. That’s why we need Sro.

Maybe we need to use The Dads on Duty model: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dads-louisiana-high-school-student-violence/

This model is basically unpaid sro. Why don’t you volunteer?

[Anonymous]

So we expect moms to drop everything and bake, volunteer, steer committees… but if dads are needed, we suddenly find budget? Wow!

[Anonymous]

I would love to volunteer! How do make this a reality?

I don't disagree. I'm pro SRO. Just pointing out that a therapist alone can't do much.

I guess it depends on where you live. I see a lot of white dads volunteering where I live, in a non W cluster.

Yes, but they can't be all white. They must be in equal representation that mirrors the school. Otherwise, the woke brigade will get upset and accuse the white dads of singling out POC students.

If the people at these schools don't want an SRO, then they should go volunteer at the schools.

Do you sit at home making up scenarios like this to fuel your need for outrage?

There's no data that supports my assertion because there have been zero SROs charged with assaulting a student in MCPS for no cause.

There is no police brutality because no police have been charged with brutality is not the convincing argument you think it is.

What about the MCP who got caught on camera screaming in the face of a 5 year-old last year? Do they not count because they weren't SROs? They also were not charged, because it is basically impossible to charge police, nor were they disciplined.

I don’t think we can have a rational conversation when you think yelling at a 5 year old is considered police brutality. I have a higher bar than that.

JFC you thought that was okay? You're right, we can't have a rational conversation.

Never said it was ok. I don’t think it qualifies as police brutality.

So it's like, not that bad, let's just all move on and let Officer Friendly go about their business without any consequences, I'm sure if something really bad happened they'd be disciplined but this wasn't police brutality so it's okay.

In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather live with one cop who yelled at a 5 yr old than a bunch of students being stabbed, and the nearest cop being miles away.

SROs are deterrents. That's why stores hire security guards; that's why people put up security cameras, ring cameras, have guard dogs; turn on lights in the house when they leave on vacation, not leave trash bin sitting out for a week... all deterents to prevent crime.

That's why SCHOOLS hire security guards. The data on police in schools does not support your assertion that they deter violence. You can keep repeating your claim all you want until you are blue in the face, that does not make it true.

NP here. Please show me that data that SROs dont deter violence.

OMG do you need me to google it for you? Are you really this stupid?

Instead of resorting to immature name calling, why don't you show the data. I can tell you that there are plenty that shows all the positive things that SRO's in MCPS have done INCLUDING preventing tragic events such as the kid who brought a gun with the intent of doing a mass shooting at Clarksburg High School. Also there is data that principals- every single one of them in every color- black, brown, white all unanimously voted to keep SROs. Why don't we let them lead the schools that they are responsible for?

YOU said SROs deter crime. Show us the data or don't make assertions that you can't defend. I am not your research assistant so you can go f&&&ck yourself you pathetic POS. I'm not going to expend energy sending you links you'll just ignore with more irrelevant and racist talking points.

I defended my assertions- you clearly cannot. It's pretty hard to take someone seriously whose ammo is to call someone POS, or whatever just because they can't agree with another person. And you gotta give up calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist. It's getting old. Save that for someone who really is one. Bottom line, you need to grow up.

In other words, "I have no evidence that SROs deter crime and no desire to check if they do even just by doing a Google search, I just want to assert they do repeatedly because it feels true to me and that gives my life some semblance of meaning".

The Dads’ brigade was AA men.

Might help if more of the therapists were from similar ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds as the kids. I can speak from the experience of being an adult that is very hard to spend half a 50 min session trying to give someone context do that they even understand your issue. It’s draining and when you have a limited amount of time, it’s kind of unfair. My insurance pays for 10 sessions a year. Imagine spending 10 of those just trying to explain why the scenarios for WASP families that your therapist knows by heart don’t work for yours.
