[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're at Westland and there is terrible bus behavior. Some bullying and fights. So far, no edibles, or lethal weapon brought into the school in the 2 years we've been there.

Middle school is the worst, but it seems that SCMS might be struggling a bit more than usual right now. How is the Principal? Usually they set the tone, staff follows, and that's how discipline sticks... but you only need one disturbed teen, or one serious incident for the entire atmosphere to change. It's like a powder keg waiting to explode at any moment.[/quote]

This stuff goes on everywhere even at Westland. You just aren't paying attention.[/quote]

I meant incidents such that a letter is sent to parents. In the two years we've been here, we haven't had letters about edibles or other substances leading to hospitalizations. We've had letters sent about vague threats, and this morning, as PPs indicated, another threat. But no letter sent about a weapon brought into the school. Last year there was the sprinkler incident, when a student knocked a sprinkler head in a classroom and set off the entire system. The fights and raucousness that goes on in corridors do not give rise to letters. The bus behavior and noise is such that now I drive my kid to and from school.

I am not trying to minimize anything. I just want to be as informative as possible so we can compare notes.

Surely we all understand that not all incidents or threats are equal.
