[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DD’s chance of being in a knife fight in MCPS? Extremely low. Chance of dealing with SR mean girls on a daily basis? 100 percent![/quote]

Exactly.  MCPS schools were so much better for our family.  No more coming home in tears[/quote]

Except she isn't learning much these days.[/quote]

There have been 3 stabbing shots at MCPS schools in the last 6 weeks. Fights, gang activity, sex in the bathrooms, lack of teachers, grade inflation and 1.5 years of distance learning.[/quote]

Not at Whitman, where my daughter goes.  It's wonderful.  I've never heard of the other stuff happening.  And she's so much more happy, and functional as well. I think the environment at Stone Ridge was giving her low grade depression. [/quote]

[b]Right,  no one at Whitman is having sex in the bathrooms, doing drugs or fighting.[/b] Denial. Besides, Whitman is filled with mean girls esp ‘24. Your daughter probably couldn’t hack it at SR. [/quote]

Exactly. My DD didn’t think think SR was Disneyland, but to say the same stiff isn’t happening at also every HS is naive and ridiculous. [/quote]

But to act like the SAME exact dynamic happens at every school is also ridiculous.  Some schools are better than others, some school have environments or attract people that seem to be worse than other.  Stone Ridge has a reputation for the bullying issue. [/quote]

Hold up, SR is a majority white UMC demographic. UMC white parents are raising little white Beckys to be bullies? Oh my!

Anyway, I asked my DD daughter about this and she said it seemed like regular queen bee behavior to her and this seemed to be a middle school issue.  Being transparent, my DD is POC and fairly assertive, so that bullying wouldn't fly with her or her crew. She also would now allow any bullying to occur in her presence. She did admit that it was very clique in the upper school. [/quote]
