[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK.  PP.  Doesn't happen.  I can't see students rolling joints and smoking them from the freaking street.  My children are out of their freaking minds when they come home and tell us a child smelled like alcohol in 1st period and another told them where the druggies hang out at school.  It's all a figment of my family's imagination.[/quote]

What school is this, where kids smoke joints in the street without any fear of consequences? Something about this post doesn't seem right. As my downcounty MCPS high school student says, "I'm not gonna lie, there are some kids who do drugs, mostly pot." And I'm sure that's true at every public and private high school in the metro area. But this PP makes it sound like her kid's school is a drug den. So I guess I have 2 questions: what high school is this, and why do you send your kids there if it's really so horrible?[/quote]

PP here -

I send my kids to my local public schools because I can't afford to send them to private school.  I moved to the neighborhood thinking the schools were great.  Turns out, the schools aren't what they get the press to be.

The high school was ranked #1 in the state of Maryland by US News and World Report last year.  A drug house was busted by Montgomery County Police right across the street from the school last spring.  Someone in the neighborhood was keeping the drug dealer busy enough to be located there.

Kids with the issues at school feel entitled.  The wealthiest kids are the ones with the biggest problems.  They feel like their parents will always bail them out.  Many parents are attorneys or know the best in the area.  These kids don't live up to the same yardstick as kids across the county.  Worse case scenario, they get busted.  They might get expelled but their parents will put them in private school.  They will never face a judge or do jail time.
