[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn't much MCPS can do to stop it.  Let's be real.  At some point parents also need to parent their kids and handle these things.[/quote]

So many parents seem to feel differently and expect the county to raise their kids for them these days.[/quote]

No one wants MCPS to raise their kids for them. But the kids are doing things they shouldn't be doing while entrusted to MCPS's care, like doing drugs in the bathroom and MCPS is doing NOTHING to curb the behavior or stop it.[/quote]

If they do anything, parents will have a fit.  [b]The only thing they can do is extra security in the bathroom and parents will scream about having adults in the bathroom and bag searches upon entering the building and parents will scream privacy[/b].

As a parent, you need to stop your kids drug use and stop expecting the school to raise and parent them.[/quote]

Where's the evidence for this claim? Have these tactics been implemented to be met with this response? Or are you assuming this WILL happen no matter what?

And furthermore, even if SOME parents complain, majority consensus should rule. And you shouldn't underestimate how current events might color parent response. Even if parents in the past might've been hesitant to embrace these security measures, the current state with rampant drug use and on-campus overdoses could make everyone more receptive to these security measures in the same way we embraced increased security measures at the airport as a tradeoff for everyone's wellbeing and safety after 9/11.[/quote]
