Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
Holy shit that's awful, I got a pit in my stomach just reading that! I hope they caught the guy or she knew who he was? How awful... |
Thank you. This is critical. Let's all do it. |
AGREED! My 5th grader has an almost 14 year old in hr class & she's 11!

I definitely understand your concerns, and I don't think it makes sense to register 18 year olds as freshmen unless it's at an alternative campus for older than traditional students. If I understand the policy correctly, all students older than 21 must finish their high school education at another campus, and an 18 year old would turn 21 by the time they were in their senior year if they started as a Freshman so why not start them at the school they'll end up at anyway? However, regarding kids on class with older students, in high school that happens even if everyone is in the grade typical for their chronological age since most elective classes are open to grades 9-12 or 10-12. I don't think it's that unusual for a 14/15 year old sophomore to be in at least a few classes with seniors, who are likely somewhere between 17 and 19. |
There's something definitely wrong with a school system that allows that kind of craziness. |
And 14 is only the age they admit to.... |
| Let's see how much longer Montgomery County residents put up with this nonsense. |
Crimes committed by illegal aliens never make national news. Ever |
My friend's daughter is at Gaithersburg and she says most only come in for breakfast, don't go to classes, and leave after lunch. Administration is scared because many are linking up with the El-Salvadorian gangs. There are no parents to report to. No discipline. No care. They rarely graduate and there is a lot of school funding that goes towards them. I just don't understand it. We can't help everyone. If we could, I rather have all of Sudan over here. There are just too many corrupt third world countries. Ours seems to be turning into one lately. |
They don't care or at least they are too scared to care. When you care, you are called a racist IMMEDIATELY. That is always the retort. They just keep raising taxes and the middle class is shrinking faster here than most places. I really wish legal immigrants would fight this battle. They worked long and hard to be here and are being tarnished by illegal immigrants. |
And "tarnished" is putting it mildly. Dragged into the gutter is more like it. Please speak up, legal immigrants. Your continued success depends on it. |
| All race/immigration issues aside, a 14 year old child was just raped in one of our schools. She fought and tried to cling to a sink and they dragged her into a stall to rape her. She screamed. How did this happen- how is it possible that a girl child can be raped while fighting and screaming in the middle of the day and it can go undetected? MCPS, you better be conducting security assessments for your facilities. Right now. There are plenty of MCPS parents who are security experts (like me)- lots of FBI agents, cops, military- who would do this for free. So don't let cost be a factor. |
Thank you, thank you, thank you. |
| I came to this thread late and wanted to find "real news" confirmation about the allegations (i.e. that the perps are illegal) without paging through all the posts. I think it's telling that I couldn't easily find anything on wapo.com. |
+1 to this Insane that this can happen. At a school. During school hours. |
