[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The athletic director and superintendent sent this video to all students:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=F9j-1DGvKRc[/quote]

This video is a CYA video. Plenty of verbal and mental abuse form Coaches that has beenreported and they do nothing.

Too little too late.

DCUM - MCPS should do something more!

MCPS - here's an anti-bullying video

FFS people, make up your minds.  :roll:

I am the poster and why I said this is that they have know of issues for years.

Getting rid of bad coaches, better coach training and AD's that listen to students and not try to cover up for the coaches or the athletes that are pulling this behavior with real repercussions are just a few of things that can be done to improve the athletic experience.

[b]What exactly does a video do except for them to point and say , see we did something[/b]?[/quote]

So are you saying that the video was a bad idea? By the way, by no means did I get from this video that they plan on doing nothing else.[/quote]
I'm impressed that they emailed it directly to all the students using their school accounts. The only way to root out anything else currently going on is for the students to report it. Hope they do.[/quote]
I wonder if students will be able to watch the video, since MCPS has restricted access to YouTube effective this week.  [/quote]

ABC7 reported tonight that the video will be shown to students in class.  Why can't it be posted to the child abuse webpage or the home page for MCPS so parents can see it?

I have seen the video through school sources and while I praise it for signifying the need for students to come forward to report students who bully, haze, and abuse students, the video should have directed students to report ANYONE who do these things including school staff members such as coaches. In our school, the athletic director lets coaches get away with abusive language and verbal assaults to students.  The actions by a coach is dismissed as a "coaching style" whereas MCPS would harshly discipline a student demonstrating the same behavior.  Good coaches haver left the school because the athletic director is a bully himself so he attracts the worst type of individuals to work with children.[/quote]
