[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This isn’t a genuine question, but I’ll answer it anyway for observers who might reading and wondering. MCPS should be doing these things at minimum:

1. [b]Follow and enforce policies that are supposed to stop and prevent kids and intruders from leaving and entering the school building[/b]

2. Actually operate and conduct emergency measures such as lockdowns with competence and fidelity

3. Communicate and collaborate effectively with community and law enforcement agencies. Share the details of incidents with communities in transparent ways when those incidents involve MCPS students

And that’s just a starting point.[/quote]
Which means lockdowns of schools, right? So what are ya'll fussing and complaining about?[/quote]

[b]If you think the lockdowns MCPS has done have been implemented with competence and fidelity[/b], then you’re not qualified to engage in this conversation and should sit on the sidelines.[/quote]
It's no wonder no one takes, y'all DCUM lunatics, seriously. [/quote]

Like I said, you’re not qualified to engage  in the conversation. Move on and keep quiet. You don’t know what you’re talking about.[/quote]
