Yeah but Wootton has the homophobic kids from the football team harassing local gay people from their parents Lexus’s…… both schools need to do more about the environment that just churn out their test scores. |
Everyone except far left progressives would put their kid in the school where the loaded gun involved in a shooting WASN'T taken from a student. But in your warped world, silence is violence so I guess it makes sense. |
yea, that sucks. Thankfully, this incident was handled quickly, and the student was not trying to threaten other students. My DC is has a lot of anxiety, but they seemed pretty calm about this incident today. |
LOL not happening at RM except IB |
dp.. I'm not a far left progressive. I just asked my RM kid if we should move after this incident, and they said no. They didn't feel scared about it, which I was kind of surprised at. They love RM. They don't want to go to Wootton. |
That's a totally valid take. I attended school in the ghetto in the 1980s and you couldn't have paid me to move schools. My comment was directed to the was with the progressive who compared a loaded gun being found in a school with heckling. But again, when silence is violence to someone, all sorts of other nonsense seems reasonable to them. |
99% of kids would say the same thing no matter how bad their school is (unless they are bullied). That doesn't mean school is good, peers are strong, or teachers are good. It just means kids are comfortable because they know other kids and teachers. Why would they want to move to a new school?? |
What was that incident? I have kids at RM. Yes - there is a strong cohort of students outside IB. These students would fit in well academically at schools like Wootton. Yes - there are um…rougher students who attend as well. The stronger, non-IB group will most likely not have many classes, belong to same clubs or socialize with the rougher cohort. |
Not a Realtor or a lady.... You are truly clueless in all ways. I am an RM parent. |
For many, a loaded gun being brought to school would be a reason. |
yep, I'm the PP who talked to my DC about the incident today, and they weren't phased. They don't know this person. My DC is in AP/IB classes, but they aren't in the IB magnet. I went to really rough HS out in the west coast, like with real gangs. I hardly ever crossed paths with those kids. I'm not happy about all these incidents, but outside certain groups of kids, RM is a good school with many high achieving kids, and lots of programs and clubs. Both my kids really like RM. |
I also prefer the imaginary gangs we have in MCPS to the real ones from the west coast. |
Ah yes, MCPS has an MCPS gang task force for absolutely no reason. |
Typo. That's should have read MCPD has... |
so out of touch. idiot parents w/ idiot kids at RM |
