[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you tell your kid they are not allowed to leave campus.  Unbelievable that you can find a way to blame the school for this.[/quote]

Seriously I can’t believe that if as a parent you care that you can’t figure out how to enforce it. I mean tell them no. If they do it, take aware their source of funds, take the phone, ground them. Whatever. [/quote]

Taking their phone away for leaving campus is punishing them after the fact. It is not enforcing the school’s supposed closed campus policy.

Again, only the school can enforce that. Parents are not in the building.[/quote]

We’re talking high schoolers, not two year olds. They’ll get the connection. And parents are not as powerless as you make them out to be. [/quote]

You keep talking in circles to avoid acknowledging the obvious point that enforcement of the school's closed campus policy rests with the school, not the parents. It defies logic to say people who are not physically in the school building are more responsible to enforce the closed campus policy more than the adults who are in the school building.

But then again, I don't think you possess or prize ration and logic anyway. So this is a moot discussion.[/quote]
It defies logic to think that 5 security guards are somehow going to stop a couple of hundred kids leaving the building at lunch or that the school can impose some sort of meaningful penalty for leaving that the parents won't be all up in arms about or that somehow this is the biggest issue that the school needs to resolve.[/quote]

[b]1. If staffing is the problem, ask for more staffing during budget requests.[/b] Monifa had no problem asking the county for millions more in funding and adding more security staff would probably get more public support than wasting millions of dollars on "Leader in Me" curriculum drivel that does nothing to improve SEL for kids. Same goes for the RJ coaches. But MCPS would never be bold enough to say they need more security staff because then they'd have to admit that their security systems are and have been insufficient for a long time.

[b]2. You have a lot of nerve to act like kids leaving the campus during lunch is not a serious issue.[/b] A Quince Orchard child overdosed on drugs at a McDonald's bathroom when he left the school premises when he wasn't supposed to. A kid was assaulted and robbed at McDonald's during lunch by Kennedy students who were then caught with ghost guns and a bag of fentanyl pills leaving the school campus. And more recently, 5 teens from B-CC violently carjacked a woman and went joyriding and terrorized the community when they were out during lunch. Either you don't know of these incidents that I'm talking about or you do and you don't care because you're soulless and are loyal to the broken status quo of MCPS, likely because you're an employee who doesn't want to change things. If that's the case, you should just do everyone a favor quit education. You don't have the heart for it.[/quote]
