[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might have been there around the same time as you. When I was in HS I used to hang out at the HS library—the fact there’s a public library across the street would have been bliss. The students are very well behaved and I don’t have a problem with them at all—they are polite and on many occasions hold the door open for me and my child. Would have loved them as my HS cohort.[/quote]

There were two kids lying on the ground in the stacks, and the rest were loud, like it was lunchtime cafeteria time. There was absolutely no studying going on, so I don't agree with your assessment of them being well-behaved or there for any other purpose than it serving as a lounge. I suppose toking on a THC vape is not problematic either?[/quote]
I love the kids at QOHS—all my experiences with them are positive.

As with any other place, if you had any issues, you should have complained to the employees.[/quote]

I did complain, and they said they couldn't do anything. The fact you dismiss all I've said and suggest "all" your experiences have been positive, reeks of some sort of shilling.[/quote]
You just need to call the non emergency police . MCPS is putting out videos about truancy and attendance, but they don’t want to do anything well, then let the Police handle it. I believe you when you say the kids are smoking marijuana. Personally, I don’t care if the kids are at the library hanging out but the second I can start seeing them vaping inside is when I have a problem.

If you think that MCPD, which is short-staffed, is going to prioritize and actually send officers out for a group of kids who MIGHT be vaping and smell like weed, and PROBABLY are minorities and risk being called racist for interacting with them, then you're seriously naive and out of the loop on what's going on politically in this county.

In short: MCPD doesn't have the staff to respond to something this minor and even if they did, would rather do nothing than intervene because they'll get labeled racist for going after black or brown kids.[/quote]
