[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok. I know a former MoCo cop who currently works in mcps high schools. He has worked in the wealthiest schools as well as schools in more moderate and low income areas. His two cents on "bad kids" at mcps high schools:

3.  The big difference between the wealthier schools and low income schools: the parents. More affluent parents tend to defend their kids or try to shift the blame if they are called into school, whereas parents at low income schools tend to be furios with their kids and don't try to get them off the hook.

Very true.  Witness the Churchill party last year that channel 9 filmed.  Most of the parents took out their anger on the police officers and didn't say a thing to their kids.  One idiot father questioned the officer on probable cause, warrantless search, and other points of law.[/quote]

The party filmed was with Walt Whitman students (35 of them) in Bethesda, not Churchill students.  Same elitist attitudes.  Same types of parents defending their kids instead of giving them the riot act.  Only one parent made her child go up to the police officer and apologize for his behavior.

The PP that quoted about 10% of the school population at any MCPS high school is into illicit behavior type activities, I would agree this number is probably pretty accurate from what my children report.  However, that means in a school of 2000 students, 200 of them are participating including bringing drugs and alcohol to school.  It would be no surprise to MoCo police that the dealers at these schools are other students.

How my mom protected me and how I am protecting my kids is that I am home when they are home and I talk to them openly about the issue.  If they see it, they need to walk away.  Often that means not going to the bathroom all day because they know someone is probably in there doing drugs or smoking. [/quote]
