[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems completely fine. Sure, there are some posters with a political agenda who try to spin this crazy narrative, but if occasionally seeing someone vape doesn't freak your kid out, they will be fine.[/quote] This kind of gaslighting and dismissiveness of parents, students and staff’s real and valid lived experiences is not ok. It is you, with your corrosive attempt at erasure and suppression, that has the political agenda. Our schools have real safety and security problems that need to be confronted and solved. Not ignored and denied. You are the problem.[/quote] I what your anger, but it would be more helpful for.you to[b] share your lived experience and how it contrasts with what PP has described[/b]. Otherwise you will get dismissed as a troll.[/quote] The trolls are trying to play up these problems to push their pro-SRO agenda. I would dismiss 90% of it as hype.[/quote] 3 locker room rapes in MCPS high schools in two years. Is that the hype you are referring to?[/quote] So the "lived experience" you were referring to is your lived experience of reading 3 year old news reports about incidents at MCPS high schools that are not the topic of this thread?[/quote] okay Marie Antoinette, looking at the crime database, so far this school year alone, there have been 6 rapes at schools (2 were with and an "object") and 24 sexual assaults If you're okay with these numbers as status quo, then lucky you to be in a "good" school, and the rest of us will just have to "eat our cake"[/quote] Hey[b] if you want to talk about stats in MCPS that's fine but this thread is about Blair specifically[/b]. Also nobody takes you seriously if you act like you or your child has some "lived experience" at Blair when in fact you are someone who has no personal experience with the school at all.[/quote] It seems like with WJ kids bringing handguns to school, knife-wielding kids at Churchill, and BCC kids passing out drunk in the bathroom or jacking cars on their lunch break, they should start a thread about safety at the W's.[/quote] Np and not at Blair or a W. Do you have links to these stories? I just don't know where people get this information (I mean this sincerely). I am not on social media. A lot of the stuff on this forum just shocks me. [/quote] People discussed each of these incidents at length here, but google turns up links to local media stories for each of them.
