[Anonymous]

Yes it happens at WMS. Assume others as well.

Ewwww. Those are sooo offensive and upsetting. I think I would kill my DD if I ever found out she participated in one. Send bail money.

At one point fairly recently, Herndon MS was considered the epicenter of teen pregnancy in Fairfax County Public Schools.

Vaping is nearly a non issue

We are in 5th grade, so obv none of that is happening at our school

Is this really an issue at MS and HS at APS??

Are you British? 😄 I grew up in England and haven’t heard the word shagging for a while! I have elementary school kids so can contribute nothing to this discussion.

From what I hear, girls are going into the boys giving BJ’s

What is wrong where girls feel compelled to dress scantily and do this???

Attention, anytime, anywhere and anyhow. Maybe it makes them feel powerful. Or maybe they are making material for their porn sites. I dunno.

This is why school architects are now designing bathrooms that are wide open to the hallways. The sinks themselves are in a common area in the hall. So by that very open nature the bathrooms are gender neutral. The stalls themselves have floor to ceiling doors for privacy. No mirrors. Schools in progressive cities, especially on the west coast now build school bathrooms this way.

The downside is that the sometimes longer bathroom waits typical at girls bathrooms now affect everyone. There is also no privacy except for the toilet stall itself.

The new ACPS high school building has these.

I think there was a mid-90s sitcom called My So Called Life (or maybe it was Parker Lewis?) that looked at the dark underbelly of the typical American public high school of that era between Gen X and Millennial. It might be amusing to watch today for social anthropology reasons, like smoking in the bathroom, etc. That era (of most of us parents) was not so innocent. Our expectation of a drug and alcohol free high school experience for the current generation is probably a bit unrealistic.

Sometimes I wonder if the people who frequent this forum I have really bad memories were completely clueless, dorks or just grew up in a highly sheltered environment.

Bus drivers, extended day attendants, cafeteria ladies, and subs are all relatively cheap and in need of more hours. Put them to work. Rolling patrols, different times every day, massive consequences for misbehavior. Boom, problem solved.

Yes. It is.
