[quote=Anonymous]I have taught in a FCPS high school for 10+ years.  In that time, I have probably witnessed 7-10 fights in the hallways.  While the hallways are loud between classes, they are not rough and scary.  Yes, some kids are sometimes rough-housing with each other and jumping around and yelling, but they are not beating each other up!  I have NEVER seen stolen goods being sold in the hallways!  While classes at my school can be large, they are not generally out of control and when I walk in the halls during classtime, classes are calm and quiet.  Yes, kids are different than they used to be and the language in worse than I used when I went to high school and kids are sometimes crass and undisciplined.  And yes, there is PDA in the halls sometimes and kids definitely wear inappropriate clothing sometimes.  But for all that, there are still kids who hold the door open for me when my hands are full of papers, say please and thank you or sorry when they bump into me in the hall.  I have no idea what your local school is or what middle school is like, but generally I think schools in FCPS are under control for the most part.  [/quote]
