[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former JWMS parent here.

It was ok precovid. Post covid, it was terrible. I don't know about now (my youngest is now in HS).  Principal was always MIA.  Kids could only use the bathroom during class time 3x per semester; other than math, and maybe the Global Humanities, there is really no differentiation.

The school is huuuge. Probably the biggest or second biggest MS in the county.

If your kid needs smaller class sizes and a less chaotic scene, stay private if you can, and do RMHS public. The HS has way more activities and differentiation (IBDP for example).[/quote]

I have a kid at RM.  Agree with most of what this PP is saying.  The bathroom situation is frustrating and annoying.  English is a complete joke, with zero differentiation.  [/quote]

Our child already has a 504 that allows bathroom use whenever needed. This hasn't been an issue for us.[/quote]

I always wonder what motivates people to make posts like this. Okay, so your child is one of a handful that this rule doesn't impact. Great? But how is that helpful to others? [/quote]

Not the PP, but how much does the 504 really help with the bathroom issues?  Even if the kid can go to the bathroom whenever they want, aren't there still kids vaping/smoking weed/using pills in the bathrooms?

I can see how it's helpful to be able to exempt yourself from the random rules about leaving class to use the bathroom.  But, it doesn't actually make the bathrooms themselves a better place.  [/quote]

The 504 was already in effect from elementary school. We didn't get it because of JW. He hasn't complained about anybody vaping in any bathrooms. He hasn't seen any weed use or pill sales in them either.[/quote]
