[b]I agree with this pp completely and am sure mcps would love for everyone to forget about them and focus on whether these kids are tried as juveniles or adults. [/b]Also, PP, to sort of address your question, principals do have their own union and the school board signs off on it just as they sign off on the teacher union contract, but principals have a weaker union than teachers with fewer protections. Usually with principals, they're demoted to the last position where they were successful. So if Casey Crouse had been an AP, she would return to a high school as an AP.  The fact that MCPS isn't out in front of this and sending a powerful message speaks to the frenetic, disorganized nature of the central office. There's a leadership void. Everyone just wants to step on the backs of the people below them to attain or keep their power. Then they lord it over teachers and parents. I think they all effing hate their jobs though--that's the irony.[/quote]

Juveniles vs. adults is a real issue -- but not an MCPS issue. The MCPS issues are to what extent people in MCPS should have been able to prevent the events and how people in MCPS reacted to the events afterwards.

I do think that, at minimum, the rest of the football season should have been canceled, pending the investigation. I e-mailed the superintendent to say so.[/quote]
