[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have bene multiple issues at BCC.  Having a mix of rich families and lower income don't blend well.  Its always been that way there.[/quote]

NP here - I do not think it is the income per se that matters, but rather the educational level and cultural background of the family that the kid is coming from.

Or that the kid has severe mental health problems, and has been bouncing around the system for years because there's no placement for him/her. Don't forget that the violent kids get a temporary placement in an MCPS-associated holding school (which is rife with its own violence issues, obviously), but then they get to enroll in a regular high school, and that high school is obligated to take them... until the student causes problems. After which another high school has to take them, and so on, until they graduate or age out.

I've said it before, but there have to be more or larger holding schools for violent students in MoCo, so they don't need to be let loose again to terrorize staff and kids in regular schools. And those holding schools must be safe so that kids can actually go there and try to learn something, without fear of getting into fights with crazies and without too much staff turnover.

In a time of teacher shortages, who will babysit the students until they age out/graduate? Can't open more schools if teachers are non-existent or unwilling to teach in those holding schools.[/quote]
