I agree with PPs who are calling out the snobby W parents on here.

If you aren't a snobby W parent, you have no reason to get huffy. If you are, you should take a step back and reconsider your snobbery. This gun BS is everywhere now. How about you focus on helping with that instead of sitting back and criticizing other schools all the time.

Here’s the thing. I’m a “w parent”. I’m not snobby, I work very very hard to send my kids to WJ but I recognize that I’m fortunate to do so. I’m huffy because our kids were in danger today and there are a bunch of a$$hole$ on here making this a w school vs other schools thing.
Start your own gd thread and let the adults discuss the matter at hand

DP but W parents do that all the times.
Had that been a non-W school, W parents would be here calling the school all kind of names, ganglandia, crime-infested etc...
So cry me a river.

Exactly. They’re constantly putting our schools down for having high FARMS rates, lower test scores, high rates of Hispanic students, etc.

Maybe now they can realize that the W schools aren’t an impenetrable palace of perfection and join the rest of us in the business of improving MCPS, instead of acting like it’s somebody else’s problem.

I think you should see about therapy and stop projecting your insecurities on others. It is no way to live life. Seriously.

W parents are such gaslighters.

They’re struggling right now. Their heads are exploding. Give them some grace.

If this was a movie there would be the back story first:
Insecure narcissist has to send their kid to what they already see as a "lesser school ". Mad at how their life has turned out. Disappointed in their partners earning power.
One day the log on an anonymous website to see a flippant comment made about their non weighted school. Being mad turns to rage.
But instead of transformation to a vengeful powerful villain- they just become a frumpy troll. So sad

What a POS you must be to hear this news and attempt an " I told you I was right"
Wow.
Wj has over three thousands students so it is more likely to happen there than other places. .

I am impressed the student who saw it showed leadership and responsibility and reported it. I can think of a few schools where that part wouldn't have happened.

Will add to this so glad I put my daughter who is zoned for WJ into an all girls school where guns will never likely be an issue.

I have news for you about girls.

The majority of school shootings happen in large public schools by males. This is a fact.

You are all assuming that this was for a "typical" school shooting. None of you know anything about it though.

You are the one assuming. The claim was that gun misusers are mostly male, which is indisputable.

PP is also wrong to ignore non-gun risks present at all-girls schools.

Isn't it in Bethesda surrounded by 1 plus million dollar homes?? Bethesda is known to be ultra family friendly and safe.

Go look at Zillow.

No one got hurt.

Surprise! Rich friendly people have guns too!

Maybe you all should try a different school system so we don't have to see your comments on this thread

Sucks to be bashed, doesn’t it?

Not as much as it sucks to not be at a W school so enjoy. Jealousy is not a pretty color on you. I'd change the look.

Since self awareness is not your strong suit, I’m sure you don’t see the irony of your post.

I think it is hysterical that you all can't figure out when you are being trolled. Take a deep breath, a sip of coffee, and put your phones down.

And I think it’s hysterical that you call it trolling when it comes from your side and is abhorrent behavior.

And I think it is hysterical that you don't know what trolling means

This young man has made a bad choice as a teen that will have lasting repercussions for the rest of his life.

Yes. Seriously. The non-W people are so bitter that they are enjoying the fact that someone brought a gun to a W school. How pathetic and sad. I do feel for them because anyone that reacts that way is obviously in pain and projecting that pain onto others. As for the teen, we need to know more. How are parents supposed to send their kids to WJ today without knowing what the intent was and if it was an isolated incident?

No, you don't.

-parent who sent their kid to Clarksburg HS on February 16, 2018, without knowing what the intent was and if it was an isolated incident

You are sadly mistaken. You doing it and nothing happening does not prove your point. You are just wrong. Not to mention, the climate is a little different right now than it was in 2018, but thanks for your useless input.

The climate is a little different now than it was in 2018, the day after the Parkland shooting? Seriously?

Yes. I agree. Worries of WWIII are a little different.

It seems that the "non-w" people (this sounds so ridiculous...has this been going on here for a long time??) are the ones that think there are sides. Please grow up.

Actually not "assuming", just reading the posts

The reality is that it takes one kid. Doesn’t matter how expensive the neighborhood is. Or how many AP classes are offered.

Grateful to the student who said something.

And no WJ is not a W school. And who really cares.

We never think about the non W schools (if that is what you call them...it is funny that you have named them that and made this division between the two).

If it isn't a W school, should we call it Alter Johnson? What do we do with the W then? That is the big question here.

Yes, at least 50 years. How long have you lived in Montgomery County?

The majority of breast cancer cases occur in women, but men also get breast cancer. If you're a man who gets breast cancer, it's irrelevant that the majority of breast cancer cases occur in women.

You don't understand risk management.

We could call it Johnson. Like Churchill. The real W schools are Whitman, Wootton, Wheaton, and Watkins Mill.

I understand that risk management is not risk elimination.
