[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your school is dangerous. No, our school doesn't do this. [/quote]

My school is not dangerous. And this new rule will help us be even safer.[/quote]

Even though students are telling you that there are serious gaps in enforcement?[/quote]

We haven’t started it yet so how can there already be gaps 🤔

Kids will rise to the standard you hold them to.[/quote]

Well, it seems if kids are allowed to attach the IDs to their backpack, then there is a gap in the standard, unless they are required to keep their backpack with them at all times.  [/quote]

I’m not sure what school your children attend but at least at my kid’s school there are no lockers assigned.  So yes, students almost always have their backpack in arms reach.[/quote]

PP here
My HS kids didn’t use lockers, either.  I agree that MOST of the time, MOST of the students would have had their backpacks within reach, but that’s not the point.  The fact that there are SOME times where SOME students won’t have their backpacks means that if an individual is seen without ID, they can claim that it is on their backpack - elsewhere (ex. “I’m just going to the bathroom and it’s in the classroom.”  “I accidentally left it on the bus.”).  For the majority of the kids, having it on their backpack will work just fine, but those aren’t the ones that would be causing trouble in the first place.  On the other hand, if someone who doesn’t belong in a school comes in to cause trouble, lying about the absence of their backpack seems negligible in comparison. [/quote]

Shhhh…the MCPS defender poster is going to say you’re making a mountain out of a molehill for pointing out and questioning this very real and legitimate gap in the protocol and process.[/quote]
