[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The game had a lot of police presence and security precautions. How exactly is MCPS supposed to control what kids do off-sight, after the game? [/quote]

The fights and controlling the fights after the game is the explicit job of MCPD. But the education and behavioral adjustments and educations that is supposed to PREVENT these incidents from happening is squarely in the realm of MCPS, which purports to do so with its SEL lessons and Restorative Justices practices. I'm calling into question how those RJ practices and SEL lessons are working if year after year, student behavior does not change.[/quote]

No. The police are responsible for arresting criminals and writing reports, not controlling fights. We live in a presumptively free country where people can choose to fight.

Making children non feral is a parent's job.

Making parents able to do that is society's job, so one working parent can afford to support a family while another parent raises the children and is engaged in the community, or working to pay someone to do it for them. [/quote]
