[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does DCPS have any policies other than metal detectors that keep guns say from our students? My kid was told in lower elementary by a classmate that there was a gun in the school. Then this year, in 5th, he witnessed the Track meet shooting up close. He’s has been having occasional nightmares since. He’s about to star MS and I’m terrified for him and looking into moving to Arlington. Is this the usual experience for DCPS kids?[/quote]

Kids in DC don't need to bring guns to school because 90% of the time the person that they have an issue with does NOT attend their school. The neighborhood issues are solved in the neighborhood. Not to mention the metal detectors and the security sweeps deter weapons.
 
Kids know that they won't make it in with a weapon so why bring it? Every area has it's own share of problems. 
Arlington may not have the violence but they sure have the drug culture. A bunch of rich kids with resources and access. I know a few friends of friends whose kids have been in rehab at least once due to the drug culture. I was shocked to learn how pervasive the " pill popping" culture was on the other side of the river. [/quote]
