[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the above PP [b]this kind of stuff is happening right now in every MS. [/b]
It sucks but Banneker is no worse tbat any others. 
2 Rockville 14 year olds were arrested today riding in a car they had stolen overnight. Skipped school today to drive around in it…. 8th graders. It’s nuts. [/quote]

That’s a huge exaggeration. This stuff isn’t happening in Bethesda at Pyle or Westland. [/quote]

Or at Parkland for what’s it’s worth.  The admin there are really strong. Not sure about other schools since we only know them.  [/quote]

Not quite.  My neighbor's kid is at Parkland and has talked about the fights there.  Parkland has its share of fights also.  Too many kids, not enough staff.  It's just run of the mill at most MSs in Montgomery County.  [/quote]

That’s fair. My bar is embarrassingly low apparently. I figured the admin were able to stop fights before it got serious enough to call 911.  I don’t recall any fights making the news either.  Yeah it’s not all rainbows and happiness there but thankfully ds never felt unsafe.  [/quote]

I'm the PP you responded to.  I'm glad your kid felt safe there, and my neighbor's kid also feels okay there so far.  I do agree that the bar for student behavior is set quite low, unfortunately.  Personally, I do with MCPS would crack down on behavior, but I guess that's an unpopular opinion around here so I just tell me kid to head in the other direction when there are fights at school.  Just try to stay out of the way.[/quote]

Is this actually an unpopular opinion? I would be strongly in favor of this but it is so hard to tell how others feel.[/quote]
