[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that parents worry but I truly worry for the parents who worry enough to bring it here with this original post OP.  Wait till high school....you genuinely need to be able to go on about your day or you will be in constant shock by what you hear on a day to day basis.

Just because many who work for MCPS have accepted these kinds of things happening in high schools as normal doesn't mean it's right or something we as parents or students SHOULD accept as normal.[/quote]

But this is not an example of increasing violence in our communities. It's not a gun on campus or a shooting nearby. This is a person with mental health needs or perhaps substance abuse issues wandering into the vicinity of a school. This "kind of thing" has been happening forever. You think in the 80s you didn't have random troubled people wandering onto school grounds? Of course there was. The difference is that no one's parents got an email about it and most parents wouldn't have found out about it at all unless their kid interacted with this person.

The police were called. There was no danger to the kids at any point. The school locked down out of an abundance of caution but it likely was not necessary because the police were already there and it was one person who does not appear to have been armed.

This is absolutely normal and a think that is going to happen from time to time in a society unless you can eradicate all mental health problems which you can't.[/quote]
