[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Covid is responsible for some of the most recent particularly egregious behavior problems. Kids sat at home on screens for a long time and got (even more) addicted to technology and didn’t have the consistency of school/rules/expectations.

I don’t want to turn this into a union or parent or teacher bashing thread, I just wanted to point out that I believe recent horribleness can be tied to the large scale interruption of learning for public school kids.

At the high school level, I think the legalization of weed (and the narrative of adults saying they use weed to help with their own adhd, and the general normalizing of weed use across the board) is driving the growth in the number of students who come to school high every day, or get high in the bathrooms in the day.

Covid + weed legalization + screen addiction = the present sorry state of many MCPS high school students

(Still think MCPS is doing generally ok, still send my kids there, and still think a churchhill-like attitude is right… it’s better than the alternative!) [/quote]

I think parents like you find all kinds of ways to rationalize this when it's a combination of the parents and kids.  Weed is legal in the state but not the federal level and you need a prescription for it.  Parents like you re 100% the problem.[/quote]

So you DO want to make this into parent bashing. Got it. I don’t. Again, I think it’s a lot of things- an unholy mix of Covid + screen addiction + legalization of weed. At least one teacher above agreed with me…[/quote]
