[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you tell your kid they are not allowed to leave campus.  Unbelievable that you can find a way to blame the school for this.[/quote]

Seriously I can’t believe that if as a parent you care that you can’t figure out how to enforce it. I mean tell them no. If they do it, take aware their source of funds, take the phone, ground them. Whatever. [/quote]

Taking their phone away for leaving campus is punishing them after the fact. It is not enforcing the school’s supposed closed campus policy.

Again, only the school can enforce that. Parents are not in the building.[/quote]

OP you seem outrageous.  Plenty of things in the world that can be blamed on failed leadership.  This is failed parenting nothing to do with leadership.  Punishing them after the fact as you say should be enough to deter them from doing it again.  If it is not then that is your problem.[/quote]

You must be MCPS admin. You can keep denying MCPS has liability and obligation to uphold and enforce its policies if you want to. MCPS, and we the taxpayers, keep paying out judgements where judges and juries disagree with you and say MCPS has a duty to actually do what it says it will do.

You should quit education. It’s not for you.[/quote]

Wrong - just a parent that thinks this is crazy.  Also, I am not the only one responding to you.  I am beginning to think you are that lady that runs that website that wants MCPS liable for everything so every morning you wake up and think of something new.  Turf, closed lunch, etc.  [b]I understand MCPS has issues but this is not one of them.[/b][/quote]

Tell that to the DoorDash driver who had a gun shoved in her mouth by B-CC kids who were out and about in the community during lunch just a few weeks ago.

You’re in denial and refuse to engage with the real harm and risk that comes from not enforcing this policy. Why you are doing so, only you know.[/quote]

So, your theory is that open lunch in Bethesda is why the carjacking happened in Wheaton?

That's just silly.

Open lunch IS why kids who otherwise would have been in the school building and not available to roam the streets and assault someone were able to do so. Yes. That is not a leap in logic. Which is why revoking open lunch privileges is a disciplinary measures schools take because it’s a privilege based on trust and meeting expectations.

If B-CC had a closed lunch policy that the school actively monitored and enforced, those kids would not have been able to do what they did when they did it. There is no doubt about that.

If you followed the conversation around juvenile crime, one of the main things contributing to the increase in juvenile crime is kids not being in school when they should be. But you don’t care about that because you don’t care about the youth or the community.

You just want to absolve MCPS of any and all responsibility for the care and wellbeing of students while they are in the school building for reasons known only to you.[/quote]
