[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting how everything at Churchill is publicized and made to seem as if the students and staff are the most horrible, insensitive people in the county. There are a LOT of good people in the community and as my DS said yesterday, "everybody acts like this is just at Churchill and it's not, believe me". Let's face it, we all know where this horrible, divisive climate came from and until something changes up there, this type of behavior is unfortunately going to continue.Do we talk to our kids about this stuff, absolutely. Do they participate in it at school or anywhere else, No. I am not defending this behavior at all, but we have a much larger problem in this country and it's not contained to one high school in Montgomery County.[/quote]

I don't things at Churchill are more publicized than anyplace else. It's that these things happen there with a much greater frequency. Pretending that it happens everywhere when there's no evidence to support this assertion is just a way of deflecting to avoid responsibility for these heinous actions.[/quote]

Do these things happen with a much greater frequency at Churchill? Do we have some numbers? i.e. how many times these things happen at Churchill vs other schools in the last (3?) years? Let's see if we really have evidence to support this claim.[/quote]

This is exactly the point. Unless someone has data to actually back up the claim that these incidents happen more often at Churchill than their claim is merit less. This board loves to stoke things up at Churchill by making sure that everything that happens within the community is made public. I see someone posted a letter from the Quince Orchard principal of an incident that happened earlier in the month. They've had their own share of problems. These issues are not limited to Churchill and it's time people throughout the county start addressing it not just saying how horrible Churchill is.[/quote]

+1.

There's much much worse things going on in other schools and no one on dcum cares.

For whatever reason Churchill is a magnet for dcum haters.

Envy perhaps?[/quote]
Not really.  It's because lots of parents, presumably W parents, look down on non W schools.  [/quote]
