What??? That is crazy. The school absolutely should send communication to families about it and the steps they are taking in response to this issue.

How is this not normal protocol? Why don’t families demand it?

Unfortunately, many people working in schools after COVID-19 don't have education degrees, and if we as parents don't do anything, this is going to worsen.

Should this be inferred that JR is worse than MacArthur? Should we move IB for BCC?

Well a kid brought a loaded gun to Whitman this week so I don't think moco is necessarily safer.

Moco, esp BCC and Whitman corridor is definately safer. The school are much, much better too.

I would move there if JR, MA or Moco are your choices. I say this as a DC parent.

A kid was beaten outside wooton today and had an open head wound. There are bad teens everywhere

Holy sh*t.

The W’s are worse than anything in DC.

Does MacArthur still feel like a small school these days? Or not so anymore now that enrollment is up.

Not to factor in the intense racism that Asians (who are the majority) in the W schools have towards Blacks and Latinos. Just google Wootton - it's horrible.

And over a year ago, as many may recall, there were severe injuries following fights after a B-CC football game.

It has always been true that many teachers don’t have education degrees because they have degrees in the subject they are teaching. I haven’t seen any change in that regard in the last ten years.
