[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly, Monday came and went and this fight was not picked up by news outlets or officially confirmed or denied by MCPS. How'd did MoCo officials succeed in suppressing this story?[/quote]

Do you think it is breaking news every time a teen throws a punch? This was dealt with before it escalated to something akin to the awful occurrence last year. [/quote]

Given that it's circulating widely on social media (it has over 56,000 views on Twitter alone), yes, I do think they should address it.[/quote]
Why should they address 2 boys fighting outside of school grounds? Even if it was in school grounds,  unless it’s a brawl or weapons involved,  there's no need to send out a communiqué about two knuckle heads releasing steams. If that was the case, MCPS would have to send emails/communications every single damn day and multiple times a day, because at any given school in MCPS and at any given time, there's some kind of confrontation going on.[/quote]

When videos of fights in the community surrounding Paint Branch High School circulated on social media, the principal put out a community letter to address that and reminded students of their duty and obligation to conduct themselves according to the Code of Conduct while they were out in the community. [b]Why is this different?[/b]

Families are STILL asking and yet they haven't addressed it. Were those "fighting" not mcps students? [/quote]

MCPS does not have to address every fight in the community nor should they [/quote]

So what criteria does it use to determine which ones it will and won't address? And is it consistently followed school by school, principal by principal and incident by incident?[/quote]

MCPS probably responds to crimes committed by students, against students, and on campus.

Not smacks at a shopping mall. [/quote]

I just gave you the example with the fights in the community at Paint Branch High School, which were addressed by the principal via a community letter. Please read and keep up.[/quote]
