[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify....it all matters. Everything your child is exposed to will shape the adult they will become.  Saying it "doesn't matter" that they see kids throwing chairs at teachers etc isn't the case.  Of course I will also be the parent that thinks "it matters" if my teenager is exposed to kids doing drugs and having sex.  Call me old fashioned but I still believe kids should be well behaved, good citizens and expecting anything less is letting them down as a parent.[/quote]

When wild things have happened at my kid's middle school -- fights in the hallways, kids throwing stuff at teachers (yes, even happens in "nice" NOVA neighborhoods) they've told me about it and I've been disappointed, but it's a teaching moment.   Short of their endangerment, which I haven't seen, I see all of this as preparation for life.   I would prefer some exposure to bad behavior than a bubble, quite frankly.  I've had kids in AAP and GE.

And if you think that an AAP class or HS honors class will keep your kids from being exposed to those doing drugs and having sex, you're kidding yourself.   Please let us know when you figure out a way to control the behavior of all the kids your child will be exposed to in FCPS.  [/quote]
