ACHS has SROs and one got knocked out. |
Serious questions to those who have kids there; is the new principal better or worse than the previous one? In your opinion, is there anything a principal could do differently, or does this squarely fall onto the shoulders of the county government and police?
At which point is gang activity a state (or national) issue? |
So what did the kids learn here folks? "We start bs and we get 7th period cancelled on Wednesday and in person classes cancelled Thursday and Friday because the staff can't handle us" WINNING!!!! Such a "terrible" punishment for the students! Two more days off school. This was a stupid, stupid move. |
It is? Who won Alexandria? |
Yep and it was a female SRO. |
This why I would propose we let kids finish with a 10th grade certificate and offer paid vocational training to enter the work force. No sense to drag everyone to the end of 12th grade who does not want to be there. |
Mandatory community service for both student and parent every time they get into trouble. Without consequences both for the student and the parent who's failing to parent, nothing will change.

So much this. You are doing wrong by all, but especially by the disadvantaged students who want to learn and get out of generational poverty!! I cannot understand why there is not a unified wish (no matter your background or affiliations) to have consistent serious consequences to stop this once and for all! |
But it doesn’t! Not that FFX is without issues, but not like this. Getting a school shut down by students who are in gangs? Why is nothing done? ACPS is incompetent, the city government is incompetent, and they are completely incapable of self governance. |
At this point, arrest the teenagers involved where you can make charges stick and suspend the rest or expel them if there is a track record already. I really don't give a shit about their education or their chance to turn their lives around. Their actions impact thousands of students who are showing up to learn and deserve more and it's not right. Get them the F out. |
This sentence from the superintendent's note:
I, along with my cabinet, will be planning with the ACHS administration team for the next two days to devise a plan for additional measures that will be implemented when teachers and staff return on January 6, 2025. Gee this sure sounds like I'll be sure I still have my winter break and manage this when I can fit it in. How about you make sure none of the problematic kids come back to school today or tomorrow and handle that the next two days and then WORK A COUPLE DAYS OVER YOUR BREAK to make sure you have a plan for additional measures when you return. |
+1 Everyone I know in Alexandria who owns a trades business has trouble finding enough qualified hires. Plumbing, hvac, electric, etc. These kids could start earning money and be away from the literal gang mentality. |
Why can’t it be changed? Why are the ones in power, in elected offices, etc. not wanting to make it better? |
SSSAS has a massive drug problem. Massive. |
