[quote=Anonymous]It’s been going on for a while but it might be worse now. I got lightly beat up regularly in middle school in the late 1990s. We got shoes and other stuff thrown at us, shoved into lockers, clothes stolen in the changing room. The bathroom doors didn’t lock for some reason and kids would barge in on you peeing all the time. Teachers didn’t care and stayed out of bathrooms, locker rooms, and hallways where these things happened. No teachers on buses either. It sucked. I moved for high school to higher SES school and suddenly didn’t face any physical violence or harassment. It was world changing. I don’t know if it’s lack of resources to ensure safety in ACPS or if it’s just a greater number of problem students. Either way, I don’t think parent advocacy is going to solve it quickly. If you can afford to move or send your kid elsewhere, please consider it. I’d never send my kid to schools like the one I attended. [/quote]
