[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, op here.  what I didn't appreciate is the "I continue to receive phone calls and emails"  Of course she would.  The emails are unclear.

Is the cap gun related to the shooting threat?  Not explained.  Then not explained again in the 2nd email, and yes, I thought by saying *I continue to receive emails and calls* was setting a tone of being annoyed.

I'm glad the staff prefer her, but her email was totally unclear.   She needed to spell it out and let us know what actions were being taken.

These are our kids.  Mine was scared and crying this morning.  I know of others.  Parents stressed all day wondering if they did the right thing sending their kids.  Some of my friends picked up early.  Some kept kids home.  Others sent them like I did.    [/quote]

Perhaps this is also directed at FCPS  that I think they need to get their act together and start disciplining kids. LBSS also has multiple fights every day.  I saw the annandale video, but there are plenty of tiktoks from LBSS just search for them with fights every week.  I'm sure most FCPS are the same.

And teachers in this thread, I appreciate many of you.  I feel like you need more support for discipline.  I'm scared of how FCPS will be in 5 years.

But yes, I still think we deserve a full time, permanent principal.  FCPS has the money to give you all raises(teachers and IA and everyone) if they'd stop with all the damn surveys and testing just for starters.[/quote]

I can’t speak to LBSS on this specifically but I have an inside source at another school. What I am hearing is that behavior is worse since the pandemic as a general matter and discipline is less. The kids are in charge. Teachers have zero power. The kids talk back to the teachers and the teachers can’t do anything about it. There is no repercussions and no consequences.  And the teachers know the admin won’t do anything if they refer kids to them. Lots of drugs in bathrooms.

FCPS doesn’t want to look like it has a lot of suspensions. [/quote]
