[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: do MCPS parents only care about mass shootings?  Or all shootings?   I am really shocked at how little outrage there is about Magruder, or Jai'lyn Jones being murdered by a fellow Northwest student.

Because mark my words, if we don't get our act together, it's only a matter of time before another school shooting or serious stabbing.   :( [/quote]

Where were the marches then?  Where was the parental outrage when a kid was raped in the bathroom at a high school?

I saw the outrage then. I was part of it. People have been calling for better security and support for a long time. Personally, I’ve been asking for it, including speaking at a Board meeting, since 2005. This isn’t new, and we’ll continue to see problems until we start asking responsibly and proactively. That includes reinstating police, hiring additional counselors, giving teachers additional training in social/emotional health training, and providing more positive outlets for students.
