[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent a message to Thomas Taylor about my child spending so much time hiding in closets at BCC. They need to let kids have access to phones, fix the cell dead zones because during lockdowns those kids (and teachers) are cut off from any communication and work on security measures such as metal detectors.

I was told lockdowns are a part of life and thanks for writing. The BCC PTSA has tried for years to get MCPS to address security issues for years. The appear to have given up.

I'm so happy to leave BCC in June and I think MCPS has been cruel in their acceptance of lockdowns. They focus on controlling cell phones so kids can't get video of fights and other incidents. When there is footage, it's harder for them to sweep it under the rug which is exactly what MCPS and Dr Mooney seem to do every time there is any kind of incident.

Wow, sorry to hear about your kid. [b]What will it take for MCPs to take seriously the trauma that has been inflicted on those experiencing repeated lockdowns[/b] while students are under their care during school hours? A lawsuit? They don't even seem to care about optics anymore.[/quote]
Serious question: What do you want them to do when there is a shooting around school grounds?[/quote]

I think they could remind all staff that this is the predictable outcome of not dismantling white supremacy culture.  A couple of disengaging PD sessions, and a visit from Moran and company to remind us that these things happen because teachers are inherently racist.  Maybe a field trip to the Sandi Spring Slave Museum to remind of all of the white privilege which afflicts all of our students and staff.

I guess that would be what I want them to do.[/quote]
I'm guessing you did not take your meds today.[/quote]

Maybe. I’m guessing you work for Central Office.[/quote]
