[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your school is dangerous. No, our school doesn't do this. [/quote]

My school is not dangerous. And this new rule will help us be even safer.[/quote]

Even though students are telling you that there are serious gaps in enforcement?[/quote]

If it’s not an actual policy, and only implemented in a fraction of the schools,  then yes, there will be gaps.  But it seems as if this will be a system-wide implementation.  It might take a few to get everyone used to wearing one and a routine established, but it will become the norm.  [/quote]

I don’t understand. What does it being done at a fraction of the schools have to do with whether there are gaps or not?

The point of the student ID badge pilot is to prove out the model and then scale it. But if there are gaps in the pilot, then why are we scaling it systemwide without addressing the gaps that were revealed in the pilot?[/quote]

Because if it’s not consistently enforced because it really doesn’t have to be, then there will be gaps. Kids know. They won’t do it if it’s not done everywhere. Also, kids and adults forget if it’s not consistent.  It’s really not a big deal that there are gaps. They most likely were figuring out what worked overall and what didn’t. Thats a goal of a pilot.

Not sure why OP even posted this here.  All the DCUM hens come out and start pecking.  [/quote]

This makes zero sense. You’re saying staff at RM didn’t enforce the student ID pilot because it wasn’t being done at their neighboring high school, like say Wootton?

The pilot was done consistently for the whole school year at RM. Consistency was not the gap the student pointed out. It was a lack of sufficient staff to do the ID check. That does not seem like it has anything to do with what you’re saying.

We’ll set aside that what you’re saying makes absolutely no sense.[/quote]

Sorry it went over your head Jan.   You obviously don’t work for a school.  MCPS has new ideas every single year that never lead to fruition.  I’m sure it was lax enforcement.  Why is this so hard to grasp. MCPS is reactive, not proactive.  Look what happened at Kennedy. Of course now they are making it official even with “gaps”.   [/quote]

At least at my kids school they said security was quite rigid about making sure kids had IDs.  Realistically the purpose of IDs is to ensure that only kids that attend the school are at the school.  If security knows the child because they have been attending four years, and the child clearly has an ID in case someone who doesn’t know them stops them, I’m not sure they really need to do a daily TSA level comparison of the ID to the facial structure of each child to accomplish the goal.[/quote]
