[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrifying.  Definitely more scared of this stuff than Covid.

My 8th grader applied to the Aviation program there.  Ugh.  [/quote]

My kid goes there. It’s a great school. I’m very appreciative of how the school staff handled this. They had to be the first responders and they did a great job keeping 1600 kids safe.

The thing is gun violence is up across the country. And much of it is among kids.  It could happen anywhere, unfortunately. [/quote]
This is bullshit. [/quote]

My friends’ kids go there. It is a good school at its heart. The teachers in the aviation program are solid and committed. The principal is planning to retire in a few years; if this makes him move faster, then that’s not a bad thing.

One of my kids went to Magruder. I thought it was an excellent school. And I really thought the principal did a fine job. Mine graduated last year so I’m not out of touch with the community. I wouldn’t have any more concerns about Magruder than any other high school in MCPS or around the country. It’s not like the school condones weapons being brought to school. And the emergency responses are run by law enforcement not the principal or school staff.

Right now our country has a problem with the way guns are viewed. Guns on Christmas cards. Concealed carry. A mom threatening to bring guns to school in VA over masking issues - yes I know she says she was misunderstood and used an unfortunate choice of words. Lack of mental health services for kids in crisis. It’s not a surprise that our schools are not safe and it’s time to take a long hard look at that and how we make changes instead of criticizing leadership over their clothing choices and decisions made by law enforcement.

I am very sorry for the Magruder community but this isn’t their fault. It isn’t the fault of McKnight. And it isn’t  t the fault of others at MCPS. [/quote]
