[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCP needs to hire more security guards. End of story. They can’t educate children if it’s not safe at school. Fighting, drugs, slap boxing in the bathroom, skipping classes, sexual assault, sex and more. It’s not just a few kids. It is a significant number of kids because there’s not adequate supervision and they are way too many kids roaming the halls. It is not the teachers jobs. They need security guards in hallways, around bathrooms, and operating the metal detectors (all day). There are 1000s of children in a building. Part of parenting is making sure that your children go to safe places. [b]The schools aren’t safe right now. That is on the school board.[/b][/quote]

Truer words were never spoken.  Our schools are NOT safe right now.

The people directly responsible for our unsafe schools are the School Board and Michelle Reid.[/quote]

Not sure where you work (or if you even do work at a school, which is unlikely) but I work in what is arguably the "worst" high school in Northern Virginia and it is perfectly safe. We do have security and metal detectors and locks on bathroom doors, but most of that is to prevent cell phone use, vaping in the bathroom, and cutting class.  [/quote]

Respectfully, you are ignorant to the unsafe, horrible nonsense that has happening in these middle school and high schools. It is not the teacher’s fault nor is that their responsibility. It is the school board responsibility to hire adequate security staff, and implement appropriate safety precautions, including using metal detectors in a competent way.

I don’t think it’s right that teachers have to monitor hallways and bathrooms. FCPS should hire other staff to do so (security guards) or allow parent volunteers. All of the parents who think the schools are safe or the same ans when we were in public schools are totally ignorant. That’s exactly what FCPS would like for you to think. They can go ahead and spend their money on non-essentials, while the basics like safety and having enough teaching staff or IAS isn’t prioritized. [/quote]
