[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are fights and incidents at every middle and high school in the county right now.[/quote]
Right now?  It's always been that way. Even in my small town Catholic high school there were fights.  [/quote]

Nah, not at all.

I went to a public MS and HS in an area that was not wealthy.  There were not nearly as many fights as there are in my kid’s MCPS middle school.

Sorry, OP.  It’s been bad since pre-Covid and has just gotten worse.  Not much admin can do about it.  Just try to tell your kid to steer clear as much as possible.  Helps to eat lunch in the Media Center since my kid notes the fights are often in the cafeteria at lunch time.  [/quote]

The board meeting the other day made it sound like things had gotten much better over recent years. For example, far fewer calls to police etc.[/quote]

Fewer calls to polices does not equal fewer fights.  It just means that admin is not calling the police and more likely, admin is just sweeping incidents under the rug.

Ask any teacher if there are more fights now versus five years ago.

Which MCPS middle school do your kids attend?  [/quote]
+1  it's like how the covid denying states wouldn't report the numbers.  If you don't report, then the numbers don't look bad.

Yep, at the RJ meeting last month the MCPS rep emphasized the need to reduce suspensions. It just makes things look better on paper , the poor behaviors are still there. [/quote]

RJ is preventative so the numbers are down.[/quote]
