[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could have a security guard for every student in the building, but that won't stop them from leaving (or insert any pervasive behavior that's common in the school) if there are no consequences for doing so. Security doesn't even attempt to stop behaviors beyond telling them to get to where they need to go if security knows there's nothing that will be done about it at admin level.

[b]If a school has a rule, a school has to be willing to enforce it. And that's where the breakdown is[/b]. Kids see that others leave without  consequence, so they start to leave too because all there friends are and nothing's happening, so why not? [/quote]

Correct. And the failure to enforce rules and consequences is squarely an administrative failure. Which is what we have here with the Whitman incident. It is a massive administrative failure that 11 kids left the school building during lunch to smoke and distribute drugs and MCPS had to find out about it from police.

The community letter from the principal took no accountability for this administrative failure.[/quote]
