[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anon156]Hello there

we are about to move to MoCo and thinking about the Whitman cluster. Attracted by the academic side of the school but concerned as my daughter has had a few behavioral problems in her previous school which was extra strict. Just wondering what the expectations about behavior in class look like at WW and how hard teachers come down with detentions, suspensions etc.

Also wondering about fights on campus and incidents. I feel some of the things I read over here about WW are quite appalling - it would be great to be reassured of how school life at WW would look like! Reading about those appalling things made me wonder if expectations of students behavior are quite low - which might be positive for my daughter but concerning for me!

Sure, there are fights and even violence, but that's going to be true at any public school. My kids tell me there are fights all the time, but they stay away from the kids who are involved, so it doesn't really impact them. They may sometimes see kids vaping in the bathrooms. Sure, it's not ideal but it's not really the end of the world either. The school is fine and offers many APs like all MCPS high-schools, so if they want a challenge that's an option.[/quote]
