They are not. As a former MCPS middle school teacher (resigned last year) this is one of the reasons why I left. Nothing is being done to help them. Lots of incentives on paper but no follow through. MCPS has made it a point to make it seem like there are all of these programs  to help students with any social and emotional needs however that is not the case. Those programs are put into short periods (Advisory if the school has it) to check a box. Students are literally crying for help and nothing is being done. The increase in fights and drug use all stems from it. We are unfortunately going to continue to see a rise of this issues until parents are fully aware of what’s going on in schools. [/quote]

Agreed.  Advisory short periods are where MCPS initiatives go to die.   They become check-off items for central office/admin.  Everyone knows this.  Staff dont have enough training to do emotional support for 30 random kids in a room.  These are often not the same teachers kids have daily.     The lessons are often terrible and kids wont participate.[/quote]
