[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a MacArthur student who has never heard of guns or weapons being stashed anywhere nor of violence around the school. There are occasional fights they say but this also happened when we were at JR. The kid rides the bus home every day to Burleith or GP and while buses are crowded and sometimes a bit rowdy, they are no worse than JR which we also have experience with. You’ve heard here from a PTO parent who has never heard of this complaint either. If the Nextdoor stories were true and if the students were the suspects, why would the school not have been informed? Makes no sense. More neighborhood hysteria. 
At the beginning of the year there was a group of grumpy neighbors camped out every morning blocking their private road. Their concern was that parents would use their road to turn around or pull into to drop off. Now that may be entirely within their right, but the idea that any of these private road protectors would not raise holy hell over “hidden weapons” is preposterous. These folks set up chairs and a barricade every morning for months and barked at anyone who came near their road. No way these same people also find weapons stashed in their yards and just post on NextDoor. [/quote]
