[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a weekly occurrence. Time to start thinking on how can the district and community improve this? Maybe we do need to install metal detectors in all MCPS schools, but other than that, what else could we do? [/quote]you all need to chill out. Instead of screaming from the internet, be a parent. Talk to your kids. Find out what families in the community need help. Go and actually help them. Don’t just send in your old pantry items for the school pantry and think you have done your part. Don’t just donate the the school foundation and think you can climb up your soapbox. Tired of these yapping parents crying from the safety of their computers. [/quote]

I’m sorry, as a person who has volunteered in many ways with the schools and PTA for years, I’ve never seen some of these parents show up to anything. How would I even begin to find out what families in the community “need help” if I have no relationship with the parents? I have helped the children in MANY direct and indirect ways for years. I’m not an expert in social work or a medical professional, so I’m not sure exactly how I would convince a parent I don’t know to supervise or inspire or discipline their child better so they know not to bring a weapon to school!! Who am I to insert myself into their situation I know nothing about? You say talk to my kids. My kids report many of the students with the deepest behavior challenges are not, in fact, members of our local community, they’ve been catapulted in from elsewhere after they had severe disciplinary issues in their own local communities. The schools know which kids are powder kegs. They know which kids repeatedly cause disturbances. This is not about parents not helping neighbors in need. This is about children with serious issues or trauma who need a different setting, support and supervision other than a large gen ed public environment.

[/quote]with this attitude, no wonder you are so defensive. No wonder you are in the situation you have constructed for yourself.[/quote]

Keep on trolling. Surely you can share all you’ve done to help other families. [/quote]
