Fights break out after BCC vs WJ Football game

[Anonymous]

My brain is hurting reading this discussion.

Someone posts a video of ONE fight, between two kids, says it's "AT" the BCC v WJ games and one or more people run with it to slam BCC, its students, parents and administration? WTAF?

First off, according to people familiar, it's not even at the game -- it's at a shopping center near WJ.

Second, there is ZERO indication that either kid involved in the fight or the bystanders go to BCC (or any other high school, unless I'm missing something).

Nobody has posted anything else showing any other fight, or even reporting on any other fight, let alone one involving a mythical BCC aggressor.

So either you all are trolls having fun, people utterly lacking in critical thinking skills, or just BCC haters. So

Why would a letter to the community be needed? The necessary precautions were in place to ensure a safe game. Parents didn’t pick up their kids after and two individuals got in a fight in the nearby shopping center.

Because MCPS routinely puts out community letters about things that involve MCPS students and public safety/criminal matters.

In fact, just this last week, the principals of Odessa Shannon MS, Kennedy and Wheaton HS just put out a joint community letter after students from those three schools engaged in a shootout at the Glenmont shopping center after school hours.

You're comparing a kid slapping a kid to a shooting?

I’m comparing a police-involved incident with students to another police-involved incident with students.

Or did you not see the police intervening in the videos posted? Your attempt to minimize the report of numerous fights down to merely down to merely a slap, despite a complete absence of additional information, belies an allegiance that you are hiding. Are you the parent of one of the students involved or are you a BCC admin who doesn’t want to take the blame for your students making the news for bad behavior once again?

Whoa. So now BCC admin are responsible for the behavior of students after hours? Is that in their job description? Where were the students' parents or guardians? Were these students aged 18? Why are you questioning HS admin about actions of students they are not responsible for after school hours? And if the altercation was off school site (yet to be confirmed based on comments here).

This is not a genuine question, but I’m going to answer it anyway for the benefit of onlookers:

Admin are responsible for school climate and culture. A school climate where violence and aggression are tolerated and perpetuated is absolutely an admin problem. Given that BCC has a track record of fights breaking out after football and basketball games, as evidenced and noted by several posters in this thread, it is clear there is a longstanding culture and climate problem at BCC that admin have failed to address.

If this doesn’t compute for you, then that says more about you and your comprehension and critical thinking limitations.

You clearly are not a parent. If you are, you would not ask such questions. What is the parents' role and do detail what their role was post-game Friday? Also, why don't you contact MCPS and find out why students with known problems are being transferred around to other HS within MCPS?

Poster, please explain your perspective on the parents’ role.

Address what I posted in response to your original question first before you ask me another.

Read up thread.

(Sarcasm alert): they are either working on a video to officially explain/deny.

Or ommunications is editing a letter the two schools' Principals may send out (waiting until Monday as someone suggested), or it happened off campus and they aren't responsible for those students so read further in a police report.

Why don't you go ahead first given this incident was not during school hours?

When parents asked a school for assistance for something related to safety around the neighborhood of that school, parents were told to contact 311.

Correct. But people want to put all of the burden on parents and none on the team of taxpayer-funded professionals and school system.

Is Student Code of Conduct applied?
What does it say re: misbehaving after school events either on school grounds or off? E.g last year Bethesda metro one was "handled" by MCPD, didn't happen at or near BCC school itself, but don't know if fighting started during game and escalated at metro.

If people need a professional to raise their kids, we need professionals administering more birth control.

What would MCPS officially deny claimed that (1) they are not legally allowed to confirm if true and (2) are being posted by anonymous trolls online?

Sounds like your beef is with the G Square landlords for not maintaining a positive culture, since the fight was as G Square.

You, like everyone else are wildly speculatiomng based on 20seconds of dark anonymous cell phone videos
