...uniforms?

Not the PP but study after study after study show how uniforms make kids perform better in school. They make kids that have less feel better about themselves. It also decrease bullying and take away many social pressures.

So yes, I think districts that do uniforms are smart. Navy bottoms and white tops or khaki bottoms and navy tops. You can get them dirt cheap at Old Navy, Target etc...

Most of these kids have parents that absolutely do not care. This a kid whose parents obviously don't even look on her phone to make sure things are OK.

Yes, the schools are liable but so are parents and many people have gotten away from that. This new thought that kids can't play outside, be with friends, can't go anywhere unless they have a phone - like phones make things safer for kids? Please. Kids do not need phones, social media, etc... They need to be out in the real world, head out of a phone and learn some common sense, street smarts, autonomy, and guidance. They need parents that are there for them. That help them, teach them and nurture them. That treat them like preteens and teens, which are still KIDS. They are kids that are being ignored. That are looking for attention. The school can't give them that attention. They need parental and human attention and they aren't receiving it.

Thank you. So many good points. What stands out to me is that the school system is liable but, parents need to be proactive and assume dangers lurk in the schools. If we know parents aren't doing that, what can we as a community do?

Yeah. Talk to your girls and provide them with some career goals and self-esteem so that they do not seek validation by having sex with these pervs. There is something messed up with the girls and their families too in all of these situations. I am not seeing any high achieving girls from functional families indulging in these kinds of behavior.

Gotcha. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Plenty of kids from functional families are defiant.

I'm the PP who said that I don't want MCPS to e-mail me about every incident at any of the 200 MCPS schools. What would I do with this information?

I'd ask if they heard about it, are kids talking about it, do they know the accused in any way, do they ever feel uncomfortable about teachers or coaches or staff or kids at school and do they know they can always come and talk to me about anything..... The answers surprise me.

When the incident happened at Rockville, I asked my DD if she knew any girls at Rockville and how they were feeling. Turns out lots of girls feel creeped out and unsafe at school (of course), and the Rockville incident reminds them all how vulnerable they are no matter where they go to school. Asking also opened up a conversation about peer on peer date rape at our school. DD has friends who have been sexually assaulted, and are struggling emotionally. And then there's the impact of seeing a peer come forward with accusations of rape and basically nothing happening to the accused and the victim being painted as a slut. So, even though the Rockville incident didn't happen at our school, it has a huge impact on DD. Turns out there is a HS grapevine, and DD also knows about other assaults and how they were handled at other schools. All total during HS, DD had 2 teacher sexual incidents at her school, knows of 2 rapes at least, knows about at least 2 other incidents at other schools plus the Rockville thing.

I'm glad I asked. I had no idea how much DD was exposed to.

I'm so sorry. She's lucky to have you to express all that to. That's a lot of baggage for a student to deal with. Too much. Hugs to you and your daughter.

Where in the article did you read that a cell phone lead to this situation?

Detectives interviewed the victim who told investigators that she and Lievano communicated via text messages and started dating on March 29, 2017. During that time, Lievano engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with the victim at her home and at his home.

it is stated in the article

Because not having cell phone would easily solve that...

When I was in high school (the 90's), my parents would have known if a teacher had called our house repeatedly. Texting, private phones, private email accounts, and Instagram/Snapchat all promote secrecy from parents.

When I was in high school (the 80s), all of the cool kids had "teen lines", and anybody could have called without the parents knowing.

Why are they defiant to the extent that they cannot distinguish right from wrong? Poor life choices of such nature is not a rite of passage, contrary of how you have deluded yourself into thinking. A functional family is not just a family where the parents are together. A functional family is where all members are thriving, law abiding, moral and conscientious citizens, are close knit and respectful of each other, and do not lack either self esteem or a tangible career goal.

That's a circular argument. You're saying: any family where something isn't going right is a dysfunctional family; I know this because a functional family is a family where things are going right.

Two thing in 20 years some how competes with the 15 things that have happen this year? Give Silver Spring to PG and many of MoCo's problems will cease to be their problems.

15 things this year? Could you provide a list of these 15 things, please? 15 things, in Silver Spring, during the 2016-2017 school year, please.
