[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All MCPS middles have this. I’m a teacher in one. Most kids are desensitized to it by 7th grade. 2/3 of my own children went to a MCPS middle. One was shocked to her core as she came from private ES. A year later, she barely noticed. The high schools are not much better. The only real difference is that most HS students who don’t want to be there skip the whole day while MS students attend some classes and disrupt them. Still, my son entered MCPS as a freshman and was appalled. A Junior today, he barely notices things like cursing.

However, it is getting worse. The last two years are pandemic fallout. If the adults don’t reseize control, it will be impossible to learn in our MS. [/quote]

Cursing? What kind of delicate snowflake did you raise?? I would be absolutely ashamed and embarrassed of myself as a parent if words could take my child down. Wow.

I'm seeing that you're focusing on cursing. As I said, it's a combination of many things. Cursing- yes, I've raised my kids to use sentences that are not filled with curse words. The kids at school curse out teachers, often say the N word, and on top of that, do drugs, vape, and fight. At work, this would not be tolerated. If my kid is a snowflake because she doesn't want to be in that environment day in and day out, then be it. I'm not embarrassed by that at all. We all should have higher expectations for students.[/quote]

[b]Cursing was the only detail you gave[/b]. Weird you would focus on cursing as opposed to vaping, fighting or drugs
