Security does go into bathrooms - sometimes.

When I started my period, I had bad cramps and diarrhea. I could not control when I needed to go to the bathroom. I remember one time I couldn't go, and I was taking a math test. I broke out in a cold sweat during the test. Luckily, I was really good at math, so I got an A on that test, but I remember rushing out to use the bathroom at the end of class, and the result was quite.. disturbing.

I just stayed home a day or two with my period as it was so bad. If I had girls I’d let them stay home.

So your solution is for female students just to miss a couple days of school each month rather than address the issue? Families can choose to do so but let’s make sure it’s actually a choice.

What issue? Sure, you may see a kid vaping once in a while but that's hardly anything to get worked up over.

Exactly. Kids smoking in the school bathrooms is hardly some new development. Kids did that in the 90s when I was in HS. And I’m sure they did it well before that too. It’s not great, but people need to get some perspective.

It was not prevalent in good schools. Depends where you attended school.

Yes it was.

Prevalent? Not at all. Didn't say it didn't happen in good schools, but it wasn't common. Our administrators had tough consequences for smoking.

It was very common but kids weren't as obvious about it. Nothing happened when you smoked or even skipped class.

PP here. I've worked in public schools at all levels for a long time. I can promise you that in our district smoking in bathrooms was not common at all. Teachers stand outside the bathrooms at breaks. The smell of smoke would result in an immediate response from one of our administrators, coaches, male custodians (if in the boys' bathroom), or campus polic officer.

Ok, but we are talking about mcps so your comment is not relevant.

Yeah, MCPS ignores smoking/vaping/drug use. The kids know they can smoke/vape/deal pills at school without any consequence. THAT is the difference. No immediate response. There is no enforcement of any rules so the kids do what they want.

Montgomery county police are knowingly turning a blind eye to drug dealing?

MCPD is no longer in the HS. Elrich, Jawando, and the rest of the progressive liberals made sure of that.

That is completely wrong. MCPD is still responsible for enforcing laws in this county. Schools are not lawless zones perhaps because they've abdicated their responsibility.

It sounds like MCPD is upset that they cut the SRO gravy train and are shaking down schools by adbidcating their duties to protect our children.

This is an unsubstantiated, baseless attack unless you can point to anything proving MCPS refers cases to MCPD that MCPD then subsequently sits on and/or ignores.

It sounds like you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth, and smoking something illegal way too many times.

You want MCPD to arrest kids in HS taking drugs, but you don't want them in the HS. How are they then supposed to deal with kids taking drugs while on school grounds if you don't want them in the school?

Well before that smoking was perfectly legal in HS. They had designated smoking areas.

It wasn't legal in my HS up in MA. Kids did it anyway. They occasionally got caught and were given detention. The world did not end.

You are both so dumb. I think you were exposed a bit too much to the weed smoke. Killed off your brain cells.

In FCPS we had designated smoking areas where kids could light up at recess.

Maybe they should go with that then. The kids who want to do it can go there, and not bother the rest of them who don't. And the bathrooms don't need to be locked.

I’m an RM parent who has posted on here before and I’d be fine with this. Designate a spot outside where the kids can smoke/vape/use pills. Keep it out of the bathrooms.

If that’s the best we can do, at least it makes the bathrooms more accessible again. The current situation stinks.

Prevalent? Not at all. Didn't say it didn't happen in good schools, but it wasn't common. Our administrators had tough consequences for smoking.

PP here. I've worked in public schools at all levels for a long time. I can promise you that in our district smoking in bathrooms was not common at all. Teachers stand outside the bathrooms at breaks. The smell of smoke would result in an immediate response from one of our administrators, coaches, male custodians (if in the boys' bathroom), or campus polic officer.

Ok, but we are talking about mcps so your comment is not relevant.

Yeah, MCPS ignores smoking/vaping/drug use. The kids know they can smoke/vape/deal pills at school without any consequence. THAT is the difference. No immediate response. There is no enforcement of any rules so the kids do what they want.

Montgomery county police are knowingly turning a blind eye to drug dealing?

MCPD is no longer in the HS. Elrich, Jawando, and the rest of the progressive liberals made sure of that.

That is completely wrong. MCPD is still responsible for enforcing laws in this county. Schools are not lawless zones perhaps because they've abdicated their responsibility.

It sounds like MCPD is upset that they cut the SRO gravy train and are shaking down schools by adbidcating their duties to protect our children.

Exactly, MCPS is not law enforcement and If our laws are not being enforced then this falls on MCPD.

MCPD is no longer in the HS. Elrich, Jawando, and the rest of the progressive liberals made sure of that.

That is completely wrong. MCPD is still responsible for enforcing laws in this county. Schools are not lawless zones perhaps because they've abdicated their responsibility.

It sounds like MCPD is upset that they cut the SRO gravy train and are shaking down schools by adbidcating their duties to protect our children.

Exactly, MCPS is not law enforcement and If our laws are not being enforced then this falls on MCPD.

If MCPS is not referring cases where students are using substances in school bathrooms to MCPD, what do you want MCPD to do? Mind read?

When I started my period, I had bad cramps and diarrhea. I could not control when I needed to go to the bathroom. I remember one time I couldn't go, and I was taking a math test. I broke out in a cold sweat during the test. Luckily, I was really good at math, so I got an A on that test, but I remember rushing out to use the bathroom at the end of class, and the result was quite.. disturbing.

I just stayed home a day or two with my period as it was so bad. If I had girls I’d let them stay home.

So your solution is for female students just to miss a couple days of school each month rather than address the issue? Families can choose to do so but let’s make sure it’s actually a choice.

What issue? Sure, you may see a kid vaping once in a while but that's hardly anything to get worked up over.

Exactly. Kids smoking in the school bathrooms is hardly some new development. Kids did that in the 90s when I was in HS. And I’m sure they did it well before that too. It’s not great, but people need to get some perspective.

It was not prevalent in good schools. Depends where you attended school.

Yes it was.

Prevalent? Not at all. Didn't say it didn't happen in good schools, but it wasn't common. Our administrators had tough consequences for smoking.

It was very common but kids weren't as obvious about it. Nothing happened when you smoked or even skipped class.

PP here. I've worked in public schools at all levels for a long time. I can promise you that in our district smoking in bathrooms was not common at all. Teachers stand outside the bathrooms at breaks. The smell of smoke would result in an immediate response from one of our administrators, coaches, male custodians (if in the boys' bathroom), or campus polic officer.

Ok, but we are talking about mcps so your comment is not relevant.

Yeah, MCPS ignores smoking/vaping/drug use. The kids know they can smoke/vape/deal pills at school without any consequence. THAT is the difference. No immediate response. There is no enforcement of any rules so the kids do what they want.

Montgomery county police are knowingly turning a blind eye to drug dealing?

Mind reading isn't required since according to the claims here these bathrooms are open air drug markets, so it's common knowledge that the law is being broken.

So MCPD can barge into the school buildings without getting approval from MCPS to monitor and police the bathrooms? Stop playing dumb.

That's why we need police officers patroling the school hallways. Glad ypu agree!
