[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high school in the 90s had one on one fights but a brawl like this would have led to expulsion and arrest. You rich people in Alexandria have a shocking tolerance for exposing your children to violence. [/quote]

+1 I don't know if it's so they feel better about sending their kids to ACPS or what. But this is absolutely not normal or acceptable. If we ever decide to use public schools instead of homeschooling, we're definitely going to move out of Alexandria City. I don't remember ever seeing any fights at my high school. I understand a few one on one fights like you had at your school, but the situation at ACHS and GW is absolutely out of control. [/quote]

Absolutely agree. ACHS was known for fights in the 90s-00s when I was in another NoVa school district. Occasional fights occurred in our school, but never was there a gun or shooting anywhere near campus, and fights were absolutely not a daily, or even monthly occurrence.

I am floored by some Alex city residents' level of risk tolerance when it comes to school fights. It's not acceptable for a child to just put their head down and "stay out of it." Repeated exposure to violence is obviously not great for the developing brain, sense of safety or self esteem.[/quote]

+1 Am I just supposed to send my kid into a warzone and pray none of these bad apples notice her? [/quote]
