[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson has not cracked down hard on anything. Not sure what you are talking about. DCPS became more strict about attendance after the Ballou scandal.
Drugs are definitely all over Wilson. Last year they had to call multiple ambulances during the school day because several kids became ill after ingesting some questionable drugs[/quote]

Again, if you actually had kids at the school, you would know that the incident that you are referring to took place in April 2018 (TWO years ago, as I mentioned in my comment).  Prompted by this crisis, the school began to work hard to get rid of kids selling hard drugs, and -- according to my Wilson student --- almost all were gone by the end of the year.  There are currently far fewer kids selling or taking fake Xanax or other fentanyl products at Wilson.

Likewise the Ballou scandal happened in 2017, which prompted a DCPS-wide crackdown TWO years ago (as I mentioned in my comment).

Finally, according to the Wilson kids who are at my house every day, there was a lot more fighting in the school 4 years ago, but the school has worked to crack down on that as well.  They don't call it expulsion, but several kids that I know of who got in fights are no longer at the school.  One is at a charter, one is a Ballou, one is in military school and another is at Cardozo.  My kid used to report big fights regularly, but says they hardly happen anymore.

So again, you know nothing about the school, have no kids there and have never set foot inside the building.  Please go bother people on the MD, VA or private forum (or wherever your kids -- if you have any --- actually go to school).

Not sure why you are trying to shut down any negative comments on Wilson. I have two kids at Wilson so you are not the only “Wilson” expert on this thread. The homecoming dance this year had a lot of drug and alcohol issues.

The homecoming dance had kids taken away in ambulances. Some kids couldn't stand up. Look, this has to be a joint effort by the council members, community, parents and school.  Call your council member and ask for law enforcement to monitor the tennis courts, Fort Reno and Tenley town, parents -WAKE UP- and engage your kids,  and the school should kick out anyone who is obviously high. They're also allowed to check back packs.  Many kids are binging on weed and alcohol. If you can smell it in the school then it's a major problem.

LOL!  If an MPD officer actually arrested a young scholar from Wilson on a drug charge it would pretty much destroy their career. [/quote]
