[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS doesn't want any of the issues to be leaked. Once law enforcement is involved, MCPS can no longer cover anything up.

Our high school principal downplays all the violence at our school. When kids circulated a video of him trying to break up a pretty bad fight, his focus was on disciplining those kids who took the video.

One of the downsides of banning phones (other than kids not being able to get help during school shootings or communicate with parents) is that violent attacks are not documented. Without evidence, victims will never get any kind of justice and the crime stats will plummet. These principals do not want to deal with the issues and MCPS provides few, if any, resources anyway.

The principals know there is no help for them so they just downplay it all at this point.

YUP! This is the answer.[/quote]

I think that's an exaggeration. Do you have any evidence that supports this? It sounds more like a conspiracy theory being pushed by someone who is bitter.[/quote]

Yes, I have first hand experience of principals suppressing bad incidents from being reported. No conspiracy theory here.[/quote]
