[quote=Anonymous]On the topic of safety, I’m curious why this topic was shut down so quickly by one of the PPs here, in response to another PP saying shootings motivated her friend to choose private. I’m all for going to a local public to save money and build community. But we KNOW that school shootings are far more likely to happen at a public school (9-10x as likely, per the Cato Institute and Washington Post’s latest reporting). In the last few years, Bethesda Today magazine has regularly reported (weekly!) allegations of unsafe classrooms, bomb threats, and lockdowns. This must do a real number on kids’ and parents’ mental health. And it’s getting worse, not better, nationally. Can someone explain why this isn’t a valid case for private? [/quote]
