[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point, y’all are going to realize this isn’t normal in most high schools.  My daughter spent a year in a well-regarded MOCO high school.  We realized within the first quarter that it was a mistake.  The only saving grace was the IB program.  We still pulled her out and transferred.

My son graduated last year from a high school in a different state.  He was suspended (in-school suspension) for three days because a teacher overheard him say “damn” when he dropped his phone.  Three days for cursing.  There is zero tolerance for disrespectful behavior.   There was one fight his entire senior year and it was after a football game. No weapons ever found.  No drugs ever found.  Zero tolerance for bullying or harassment.

Until schools start kicking these kids out, the problems will continue.  What happens to kids who are suspended?  Who cares?  They are no longer the schools’ problem.  Let ‘em get right or go to jail. [/quote]

This is 100% correct.  Tbh, we left MoCo and moved, but I still lurk on this board bc we have family and friends currently dealing with MCPS.

People have gotten so used to that they think its norm; its not.

There needs to be both the carrot and the stick to control student behavior.  Right now, I'm not sure there's either?[/quote]
