[quote=Anonymous]+1 to all this. Where there's a will there's a way and it needs to be done. Enough with the excuses.

Having over 4000 kids in one school amplifies any problem because you have twice as many people to get involved in conflicts. It's much harder to spot and identify problems because there are just too many kids to manage. People fall through the cracks because when you have 4000+ kids the cracks are bigger and easier too all through (not just with this type of incident, but also with general academic and emotional support). It's easier to hide bad behavior when you're one of a large faceless number.

FWIW I also think that there are ways to divide the district that don't just fall along a geographic divide. [/quote]

100% all of this. Arts-focused school STEM-focused school, trade-school--they could be district-wide and open to anyone via lottery or application. Doesn't need to be west side vs east side.

It's lack of will, lack of creativity, lack of ... who knows what. Why are throngs of students outside in the middle of the day? It's not open campus. I'll tell you why: there's too many kids in general + having kids at MH need to travel to King Street for classes daily for classes + inconsistent, unclear protocols on SOL testings days. All leads to various forms of chaos. [/quote][/quote]
