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.

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.

The article was posted earlier in this thread: https://wjla.com/news/local/ghost-gun-montgomery-blair-high-school-firearm-possession-school-property-safety-concerns-violence-county-police-mcpd-students-custody

Furthermore, the principal sent a community letter to families about it. How did you miss it?

I'm more concerned about the kids with a real gun at WJ, the bathroom drug use at BCC, or kids with knives running around the Whitman parking lot. These incidents at the W's are just as recent but more frightening.

Sounds like Blair is a lot safer than those W's.

Yes, these days it sure seems that way. At least there aren't overdoses in the bathroom or kids with knives running around the parking lot like many of the WP schools.

DCUM: It's always Blair and the W's. Sometimes Poolesville is jumping up and down, waving arms, "Over here!"

Many W parents suffer from a bad case of Blair envy. They will talk a lot of trash but suspect it's to create waitlist movement.

As an MCPS teacher these past 20 years, I say keep your kids in private school. I wish I could afford private.

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.

Huh? Then you’re not the person I was replying to.

The reality is that with very few exceptions, MCPS kids go to school and come home safely every day regardless of which school they attend.

Are you dense or blind? The Blair student was charged and arrested for having a ghost gun. There was nothing fake about it.

Or maybe you don’t know what a ghost gun is? Google is your friend.

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.

DP. Me too. That person brought up unrelated incidents with which they had no direct experience and then cries "stupud" when they get called out on it. Probably not a Blair parent and definitely lobbying.

I am also a Blair parent ('22), and my kid never had any threats/issues. I've been impressed with the students overall whenever I was there-- I've done AP proctoring and subbing. And, of course, impressed with Ms. Johnson. As others have said, big shoes to fill.

okay Marie Antoinette,
looking at the crime database, so far this school year alone, there have been 6 rapes at schools (2 were with and an "object") and 24 sexual assaults

If you're okay with these numbers as status quo, then lucky you to be in a "good" school, and the rest of us will just have to "eat our cake"

Hey if you want to talk about stats in MCPS that's fine but this thread is about Blair specifically. Also nobody takes you seriously if you act like you or your child has some "lived experience" at Blair when in fact you are someone who has no personal experience with the school at all.

It seems like with WJ kids bringing handguns to school, knife-wielding kids at Churchill, and BCC kids passing out drunk in the bathroom or jacking cars on their lunch break, they should start a thread about safety at the W's.

Np and not at Blair or a W.
Do you have links to these stories?
I just don't know where people get this information (I mean this sincerely). I am not on social media.
A lot of the stuff on this forum just shocks me.
