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?

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.

People discussed each of these incidents at length here, but google turns up links to local media stories for each of them.

Seriously. The safety/security issues at W schools have been discussed here repeatedly. So that was a stupid complaint to make.

Maybe I'm kidding myself, but I don't feel schools are unsafe despite these things. For example, the kid who brought the gun to WJ was misguided. I didn't get the impression they wanted to hurt anyone, and the BCC bathroom kids are mostly just a danger to themselves.

Yes, you are absolutely kidding yourself with this rationale you just described. Your head is in the sand.

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.

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.

lol. no. no envy.

Blair's college rank says it all.

You should also know Blair didn't make the STEM HS ranking, even though it's a Magnet school.

1. It ranks the whole school, not just the magnet.
2. Even though it's not ranked, Blair has the most Intel/Regeneron scholars (the Superbowl of all STEM competitions) in the nation; which tell us those rankings don't mean sh$t.
Idiot.

WJ and other "W's" also have Group homes that MCPS zoned into their school boundary, accounting for some of the more serious safety activity.

Where do you think your kid is safer again?

Is that the reason why W parents pays lot of money to Dr. Lee, Kumon and fight tooth and nails trying to get their kids into Blair? LOL
The envy is clearly strong with you and I bet your dumb kids didn't make it to Blair.

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.

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.

lol. no. no envy.

Blair's college rank says it all.

What's Blair college rank?

College Ready (UofM): 74.8%

Exactly! More Blair students are headed to HYPS than any W, and it makes them crazy with Blair Envy.

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.

People discussed each of these incidents at length here, but google turns up links to local media stories for each of them.
