The kids are NOT fine. Mcps can be sued it doesn't have to be now. Talk to your kids, keep communications open. |
If you don't like it why don't you run for president of the PTSA? |
Were the kids fighting on MCPS grounds? |
No |
I don’t mind any of that, and my kids are not in things getting these messages. I think that’s the purpose of the message of board - to update parents on nonacademic school activity. The messages from the parents on how anything is handled? No thanks. There are 2300 kids. The parents are not going to come to any consensus. |
And this is why I should have moved to Vienna or McLean. The high cost and lameness of the suburbs and the urban ills that you’re trying to get away from sprinkled in. Wasn’t there an arrest made of a group of carjackers who were operating out of this school a year ago?! People are paying $2-$3 million for homes in this lame area to send their kids to school with a carjacking ring?
Pathetic. The MD suburbs have been going to hell since 2015-2017. |
I love that guy! I do have a kid that plays a sport but under any circumstances I love how affirming he is of all sports. He wants to highlight success irrespective of whether you are in trendy sport or a less actively followed sport. I love to see examples of students doing great at extra curriculars and getting some public acknowledgement for their hard work. I love how the boosters invest in all sports. I think he is miles better than boosters from other schools who only prioritize football and boys basketball. |
+1 I think he is great. And I don't have kids who play sports. |
No. The fight did not occur on school grounds. It occurred just around the corner from the school. What's your point? MCPS is responsible for the school climate and the current approach forces kids to exist in a space with other kids where criminal behavior and violent activity is tolerated or overlooked. That is a fact. It's also likely that the kids who left BCC to fight in the park had the gun that they used at the park on them while they were in school. Is MCPS not responsible for that? ALSO, what about the fact that the "lockdown" BCC went into still allowed for the free movement of kids who left the school building when they weren't supposed to? Which means kids who participated in the fight at the park could and likely did easily slip back into the building after the gun shots went off. The mental gymnastics people contort themselves into just to let MCPS off the hook for ensuring the safety of kids is sickening. |
How brave of you to use an anonymous message board to accuse someone of stealing from the community. Just like the attacks on the PTSA president, how about YOU volunteer to run Sports Boosters? One thing I've found impressive at B-CC is how many parents whose kids have graduated stay involved in the community, doing the thankless tasks that many current parents won't step up to do. |
Is there any way to get a class action together to sue to force the school system to remove/permanently suspend violent students? Not a lawyer but I know there are many lawyer parents at the school. |
Well, let’s ask them to comply. |
Stop it. There are plenty of great families in Rosemary Hills. |
That was a horrible quote. I gave her some grace thinking maybe she was stressed when she spoke but I could not believe what she said. |
That is on MCPS. Neighbors should not be subjected to repeated issues because this too large of a school system has created these mega schools without adequate lunch facilities and food and the time to partake. Everyone pays too much ln property and MoCo piggyback taxes for this to be going on. We need smaller, community-based local schools, and school systems with locally elected school boards populated by people you know, who have kids at your schools, experiencing these same issues. "Back in my day" as they say, a neighbor of the school would have recognized one or more of these students, called the police and their parents. Yet, here we are. |
