For the most part, school violence happens from within the school (ie other students). Security measures are often designed to keep outsiders from getting in. Students who go to these schools everyday know the blind spots of security anyway. All the metal detectors, SROs etc are doing is making parents feel better. At the same time, those very security measures do two not so great things for students: they increase fear and feelings of not being safe (and yes there are studies on this) and second they increase disproportionate removals of students of color and with disabilities. Security measures don’t prevent violence.

MCPS is wrong for not getting enough mental health support in the doors quickly enough and not connecting with community providers. Bringing back SROs isn’t going to fix that. [/quote]

SROs don't accomplish much of anything but make the right-wing extremists feel better by making public schools (which they hate) have more of a prison feel.[/quote]

Metal detectors, too.[/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

[b]What is your proposal because No SRO's and we've had multiple incidents at the "good" schools[/b].  One of those knife fights could have been deadly.  We've also had more assaults on campus in locker rooms.[/quote]
There have always been multiple incidents at the "good schools", even when there were SROs. [/quote]

Instead of removing them we need more.  [/quote]

Because adding more of something that’s ineffective is going to make it effective? How does that logic work?

SROs are not only ineffective, they’re harmful. We don’t need more of them.[/quote]

They are not harmful. What is your suggestion?   [/quote]
A lot of students testified that they are harmful. What is your suggestion?[/quote]

A lot didn't testify.  A handful did who are a select group of attention seekers.  So, what is your better suggestion since you don't want SRO's or [b]security in the schools[/b].

Clearly more kids are being harmed by violence now than are from the SRO's.[/quote]
Stop it with your Fox News propaganda.
Everybody wants security in schools. People in don't want useless SROs.[/quote]

Do you have kids in mcps?   What is your suggestion?   I want them.   This is mcps news, not Fox News.  [/quote]
I had a kid graduated from MCPS and I have kids now in MCPS. People already gave you suggestions but you just want to cling on your useless SROs so your Larla and Larlo can feel safe.
"Don't want security in schools" is Fox News and Q propaganda.
[/quote]

There aren't suggestions.  We are being told no SRO's.  Mental health services aren't going to happen and that doesn't stop violence.  The discussion is stopping violence.

SRO's are funded by the police department.  MCPS has yet to put any extra security in place or mental health (or more parenting classes as well).  So, what are practical solutions that can be implemented.  V[b]iolence is going up with RJ and the removal of SRO's, not down this year.[/b]  [/quote]
Again more fox news and Q propagandas. Violence is not up because of RJ and the removal of SROs. That's what fox news wants you to believe. Violence is up all over the country, not just schools because of the effect of the pandemic.[/quote]

Are you at all following what is going on in MCPS?  RJ has started, SRO's removed.  Humm.. use some common sense and start parenting your kids.

MCPS incidents are discussed here and many other places online.  You should keep up.

If you cannot parent your kids and expect the schools to do it, they need more support.  [/quote]
