This kind of gaslighting and dismissiveness of parents, students and staff’s real and valid lived experiences is not ok.

It is you, with your corrosive attempt at erasure and suppression, that has the political agenda. Our schools have real safety and security problems that need to be confronted and solved. Not ignored and denied. You are the problem.

I what your anger, but it would be more helpful for.you to share your lived experience and how it contrasts with what PP has described. Otherwise you will get dismissed as a troll.

The trolls are trying to play up these problems to push their pro-SRO agenda. I would dismiss 90% of it as hype.

3 locker room rapes in MCPS high schools in two years.
Is that the hype you are referring to?

So the "lived experience" you were referring to is your lived experience of reading 3 year old news reports about incidents at MCPS high schools that are not the topic of this thread?

Apparently, they're focused on things that happened somewhere other than Blair several years ago to make their case for the fall of civilization.

You took the words out of my mouth. I've had three kids go through Blair. These problems are easily ignored.

The Cato posters love to hype problems where there are none.

Can you get off this thread already? Your posts are tiresome and you think you're being clever but you just sound stupid.

I have two kids in Blair and I agree with the PP. Schools are just as safe as they’ve always been. If you need to dredge up stories from years past then maybe YOU need to get off this thread.

Can whoever is doing this stop making these duplicative Blair posts with these nitpicky parents who argue about nothing for pages on end?
If you have questions about Blair just ask them all in one thread. You've started like 7-8 threads in a month. It's weird.

What are you talking about? We did share our experiences and we were accused of exaggerating or making them up as part of a vast right-wing agenda in this very thread.

A ghost gun was found on a Blair student at the beginning of this very school year. What are you talking about? Serious safety issues happened and keep happening at Blair. You just pretend otherwise.

Never heard that. The worst things I heard were about some kid with a knife at Whatiman and some drunk kids at BCC.

I think they may be talking about the kid with a gun at another W recently. I think it was WJ.

And that is relevant to OPs question, unlike the 3 year old news reports from schools on the other side of the county

[Anonymous]

OP is debating a switch from private to public so the district's handling of other incidents related to safety in recent years is relevant. I did not post that information but think it's good context for OP.

1) one kid brought a pellet gun to school - it was quickly dealt with by school and police

2) one child was acting “erratically”. That child was taken to the nurse and then to the hospital in an ambulance.

My kid wasn’t aware of either incident until I told him. Those are the only things I can recall this year other than the bomb threats that went to several MCPS high schools and middle schools and were ultimately chalked up to a hoax perpetrated by a 12 year old.

He has never seen a fight in the hallway or, as previously mentioned, had any issues in the bathroom.

Was nearby in PE and saw the commotion because PE kids called for help, but didn't see the incident. He was physically threatened a few times. A few friends over the years were actually hit by other students but I am pretty sure there were no real injuries. They did not go to the nurse or report the incidents. I don't know how "normal" this is.

I do think your child's experience boils down to some luck. Many kids will go through their 4 years with no issues but some kids can be randomly targeted like at any school.

Not true. Some kids are able to avoid trouble. Others aren’t. A kid in advanced classes who doesn’t hang out in bathrooms or in crowds of kids misbehaving isn’t likely to find themselves targeted or in trouble.

My child is a straight A student taking almost all AP and magnet class, but not in the magnet. My child is not "hanging out in bathrooms" or whatever crazy things you wrote. I hope I don't ever meet you IRL. You sound like a god awful person.
