[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD and her friends report there are pretty bad fights at Wilson multiple times a day. Fights in hallways, in class. Boy on girl, kids getting jumped etc. I know this is “normal” high school behavior but it’s become quite disruptive for DD.[/quote]

It isn't normal. This behavior doesn't happen in all high schools. Teenagers don't have to be violent.[/quote]

DD showed me a video of a few of the fights that are going around Instagram. It’s so sad. Some are in class, some are at [b]the Whole Foods corridor[/b] after school. [/quote]

Neighbors have begged the school to engage with the community and community police over this corridor. Why can't the principal / administrators stand out there after school Stand and Deliver style and work WITH the police, businesses, neighborhood. Why the "what happens outside the school gates stays outside the school gates" attitude? Such a culture of low expectations, ugh.[/quote]

You have just as much of an ability to stand outside Stand and Deliver style after school, off school property. Go set your expectations instead of blaming the principal for not working even longer hours and off of school grounds. [/quote]
