[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's heartbreaking. All of it.

My kid's making alternate plans with friends now. Part of me is proud of her for being resilient, and part of me is so damn tired of how resilient she's had to be in the last few years.  [/quote]

on FB there was a mom who posted that the school knew who the kids were and instead of taking action about those kids they just canceled the dance for everyone. It's rare I believe someone in the comments on social media but this time I actually do believe this mom. The red flags are all there and yet APS fails to take action. I blame them and I blame the community of Arlington for creating this environment where any attempt at consequences and discipline is loudly shot down as being wrong, racist, conservative, republican, trumpist, not inclusive, student shaming, and so on EVEN when none of those things are true. The community will have no one but themselves to blame if there is ever an incident like we have seen elsewhere.

As an APS parent, these past couple months based on incidents at schools, I have given serious thoughts to calling that hotline the governor set up. Not to report issues with teaching but to report the fact that APS doesn't take issues of violence, threats and crime seriously because I feel there is no one at all in the schools or the county who will listen and act until something really bad happens.

Do it. Arlington county politicians live in an echo chamber. No one is holding them accountable. People here vote blue no matter who. [/quote]
