[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] As a mom with kids in both, that is not true. Private school bathrooms are safe. Maybe a vape or pill exchange here or there but halls don’t reek of weed, kids aren’t bullied in bathrooms, no guns on campus, no assaults under stairwells, and kids are in classes instead of skipping.[/quote]
And at the private I know, the kid who recently got caught smoking on campus was suspended for multiple days.[/quote]

Crazy shit happens at private schools too, but it's not going to be reported to the local newspaper or any newspaper because administration will keep it very tightly under wrap & dealt with in house.

I taught a private JK-12 school in DC for several years and vaping was a big issue back in 2015-2018 as was pot smoking on campus. We had a meeting about it because kids were vaping during class (with those little sticks that look like USB) and also in teh bathrooms. I now teach in MCPS.

During my years teaching at the private, there was a girl who showed up to a school dance so drugged up that she fell in parking lot on cement, breaking several of her teeth.

I would also like to add that private schools are less likely to expel and more likely to try to help the kid get help for their addiction. Obviously rules need to be upheld, but when it comes to addiction, doesn't the addiction & problems tied to the addiction need to addressed? If you are a child of a major donor, it's VERY very hard to be expelled.

Drug & alcohol abuse are not limited to public schools.
