[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue is not the drugs.  You will never stop them 100%.  You have to be a proactive parent and look for signs and just keep encouraging communication.

My issues is the safety of the bathrooms.  My kid at RM avoids the bathroom all day due to multiple issues walking in on drug deals and weed/vaping/pills.  The students are intimidating and if you even think of going to staff, you will be bullied for being the snitch for the rest of the year.  So the kids just hold it in.  And there are many people that need places to destress without drugs.  Gain composure and relax from gossip, drama, a failed test, etc... and these dealers love those type of people that come in the bathroom door.  New customers that need something to help them relax.

It's highly concerning how little the school does.  I grew up in a lower to middle class high school and there was never drugs in our bathrooms.  The consequences were severe (long suspension or expulsion)  MCPS doesn't have the staff, the staff that is there is burned out, and there is no fear of much really happening to you.  [/quote]

Another parent from RM and I will second everything this poster is eating because my kid has reported the exact same thing.

I am also incredibly discouraged by the fact that the school can’t seem to do much about the rampant drug use.  Heck, another mom told me that there were issues with kids vaping in 5th grade at one of the feeder ESs.  This is not good for anyone.

Our high school kids shouldn’t have to navigate this as much as they do.

Agree that there isn’t enough staff, the staff is burned out and there are not really any consequences when kids are caught with drugs at school.  [/quote]
