| Ten Mile Zone. At what level does it become a situation that it is no longer a school related issue in a public place? I am constantly hearing that the closest metro near various schools have become war zones but now I am hearing that Gallery Place has become a hot-spot. Unless, DCPS has moved the majority of their schools to the downtown area how does that become a DCPS related activity or incident? |
| Pardon me, but, is this in English? |
| I couldn't understand it either! |

Had too much to drink?

You speak the truth! |
|
Huh?
You mean how Gallery Place is a noted hangout for unruly DC teens after school, and there are unprovoked attacks on commuters, muggings, flash mob robberies and general punkishness going on? |

12:35 and 12:40 I am glad you not like the others.
All aside from the grammar police. I understand what you're saying. TMZ reference is funny and is easily associated in this case. I too would like to know, is every group of students who are in uniform who are in public place after school hours that is being rowdy; a school problem or a person in public problem? I was at the Takoma Park Station just last evening and apparently Coolidge had a night basketball game. Assuming the game was over many were at the Takoma Park Station and rough-housing and obnoxious language was evident. I could immediately associate them to Coolidge because of their uniforms. So, OP are you asking do you blame the school because of their students or do you blame the individuals. I am guessing it is an individual problem. I can say I have seen rowdy adults on the metro too. |
| Even in country club Bethesda you see routy kids. Were you perfect? |
|
rowdy
Kids can't be punished by the school when they are not in school or on a school outing. The kids at Gallery Place can't be punished by the school. |
| Wait -- is this post about loud, foul-mouthed black teens that loiter around Gallery Place? I think it may be. What is the question? |
Yoda has an internet connection! May the Force be with you. |
Why is gallery place such a hotspot for juvenille crime is it near a bunch of section 8 housing or something? Kind of weird. |
| I nominate this as least intelligible thread of the year. |

Some of you all live in a bubble or in your own little white world. The country club reference is hilarious, I am guessing in the hood that the nearest recreation center is comparable?
@9:03, Star War fanatics are always weird and old-azz farts. @7:07, I think you're pretty accurate and observant. Please share your experience. 22:32, You have answered the question and addressed a major concern. |
