Nobody with a journalism background goes on an unverified “tip”, so a teenager told you something… lol and you reported it?

Or the source could be a teacher and a known reliable source to Moderately MoCo? Why do you presume it was a teen? He’s had multiple teachers and MCPS staff guest post and interviewed on his blog.

Either way nobody reports on just 1 tip.

You at least have a 2nd source, check with police, etc.

It’s shotty reporting.

Except that he's usually right. And given the ZERO other local reporting outlets in MoCo, I'm glad we have them.

“Emotionally disabled”?

Essentially kids who have been removed from their home for extreme abuse.

Not restricted to kids that have been removed from their home for abuse…the majority of kids in a ED program live at home but have extreme behavior issues. It takes a LONG time for MCPS to actually put kids in a ED (Emotional Disorder) program. I teach at an elem school and we have multiple kids who qualify for these accommodations but I have only had one student that was successfully placed out. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is being used to justify keeping these kids in their home schools (multiple instances of violent or aggressive incidents, fighting, throwing chairs, tearing apart classrooms to the point of the class needing to evacuate for safety, etc.). Not sure what happens in this particular incident but wanted to clear up the misconception that ED programs are only for students who have suffered abuse and removed from their homes.

The credibility bar for the conservative website moderately moco is low.

Has he published false news?

I’m not sure it’s fair to say he published “news”.

But it is essential kids who were severely abused and many taken from their parents.

In other words, you don’t have any examples.

He retweets things. Can you point to a news story he’s actually investigated and published.

He retweeted a bunch of erroneous things with respect to BCC.

My child just got home from school (Clarksburg High School). They said there were 7 fights. One involved a fight between a student and security guard, and one was a fight between student and teacher with the teacher being sent to the hospital. The remaining fights were between students.

Does conservative just mean 'reports on things Kristin Mink doesn't like?"

I think general spread of fear is a corner stone.

There are several reliable reporting outlets that cover MoCo.

Time to send these kids to hang out at central office for LRE and let admin understand that their policies suck and are causing harm.

There are a couple and I count him among the reliable sources. I am also following DMV live because he is on top of news too.

Spread of fear, or spread of facts and awareness?

Moderately MoCo doesn’t spread fear. It’s actually refreshing to see news that hasn’t gone through the normal MoCo filters.
