[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Video is on Reddit where someone points out during a fight a teacher literally walks by, takes a photo of the fight and keeps on walking.

Teachers may not be allowed to intervene. The safety protocol is to notify an SRO[/quote]

Sure, I understand that but to nonchalantly walk past, literally throw up your arm to take a pic and keep walking is awful. He doesn’t stop, say anything, do anything. No instructions whatsoever. No “stop”, no calls out for the SRO or anyone else. It’s a male teacher, with a mustache and large belly, it’s definitely a teacher.

Then when the video shows the student who is stabbed there is one, ONLY one adult standing there and he’s just yelling “ambulance”. He’s not kneeling down to see if kid is alive, or ok, or applying pressure to stop the bleeding.  It’s not even clear who he’s talking to, all the kids walking past? No one is in control and several kids are laughing.

I thought cell phones in Virginia public schools were banned during the school day. [/quote]

Do you know why an adult didn't touch him? Because parents in this region are SO f***ing litigious that somebody would try to sue that adult for putting their hands on that kid. That's why. Because. Of. People. Like. You.[/quote]

Parents are more likely to sue for negligence of safety, and negligence of bullying or assaults. Maybe FCPS should start thinking about that.

It is not safe for teachers to get involved in the physical fight, but they can do other things like clear the area, stop filming.

FCPS is not keeping students safe. They need metal detectors at every MS and HS, more school resource officers, more security guards to guard common areas and cafeterias, bathroom supervision, metal detector wands to detect vapes/carts, more counselors, and drug dogs. FCPS is failing and it’s negligent. I hope they get sued and start taking this seriously. [/quote]

What a horrible dystopian school experience you envision for our kids.[/quote]

Yes, and who is going to pay for it? [/quote]
