[quote=Anonymous]For the "do these happen across elementary schools in Arlington," yes. We had similar issues at our school last year (but not to the extent of threatening to bring a gun), including graffiti threats and anti-semitism. I think our admin dealt with it all very well. Unfortunately, though, admin can't control what some kids are experiencing outside of school and APS is really bad about addressing actual mental health issues in its student body. And we can all argue the cause, but I think everyone will agree that kids are really in a rough place right now. So yes, you're going to have kids making monumentally bad and sometimes dangerous decisions. And you're going to have kids who are coming from racist, anti-semitic, nationalist...homes. Keep that stuff out of your house, talk to your kids about hate in age appropriate ways, as they get older monitor their tech, and make sure they are comfortable to go to someone at school if they see something. Good luck. [/quote]
