[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Freshmen are starting to vandalize bathrooms again.  Things like stealing toilet paper dispensers and pulling out all of paper towels.

My upper classman caught a bunch of them in the act and read them the riot act.

Any juniors or seniors who lived through the freshmen destroying the school last year in the name of tiktok have zero patience for this crap again this year.  I have spoken with several other parents whose kids have yelled at freshmen the past two weeks trying to start this stuff again.  The high school has started locking all or most of the bathrooms again this week.

It is like the walk out last week unleashed all of the bad behavior.

Before the walk out, the freshmen did not seem to be aware of all the freedom they have at high school.[/quote]

Which school was this? [/quote]

Not outing the school, but it is one where most of the bathrooms are locked.  Which really could be any high school in fcps.  At least one of the fcps high schools (not ours) is requiring the kids to download a tracking app onto their phones in order to use the bathrooms during the school day.  In my opinion, that is a huge invasion of privacy.  My kid would not be allowed to put a school tracking app on our personal devices.

The bathrooms were all unlocked before the stupid tiktok destruction last fall.  Some of our school bathrooms still have not replaced the missing stall doors, paper towel dispensers and toilet paper holders that were destroyed last year.  Combined with all the vaping, I doubt the bathrooms are ever going to open like they were prior to pandemic.  I think the school keeps a handful of bathrooms open near the cafeteria and offices, and patrols them frequently.

My kid and other upperclassmen were hoping that the bathrooms were going to get back to normal soon.  Then, the week of the walkout, the freshmen started the vandalism again.  I think that is why upperclassmen are stepping in.  They want their bathrooms back.  I hope that the older kids telling freshmen to knock it off will nip this in the bud soon.[/quote]

This would be a no for me as a parent[/quote]
