Wilson in DC had a kid assaulted.

FCPS has the same problems.

Teens have a difficult time adjusting to the crowds, noise, rubbing elbows that a return to a highly-structured in-person schooling entails. Since their brains are firing on all cylinders without a brake, such are the consequences.

Being back in school is causing kids to be violent? Please.

Oh, enough of this crap already! Just because teens sat in their bedrooms for a year and a half staring at Youtube videos, they now can't 'adjust to the crowds and noise' and are bringing guns and knives to school?
Geez.

Agree! Enough of this mental health excuse for violence. We are not talking about levels of depression but overt ACTS OF VIOLENCE. If we had metal detectors that would be a start. Also mental health support, but that is NOT AN EXCUSE for buying weapons, bringing weapons to school, attacking and assault and this violent behavior in general.


We all agree that boundaries have to be clearer and stricter. No one is excusing anybody, but it's intelligent to identify reasons so that you better craft solutions.
The people who just bring the hammer down indiscriminately are stupid.

You do understand that no one is excusing them, right? Do YOU have any explanations, pray? Or will you just limit yourself to general accusations and fingerpointing? Such as "it's the parents' fault!" or "it's the teachers' fault!" or "teens these days are thugs!" .

Not helpful, are you, hmm?

This. And, police in the schools. Let’s not call them sros and bring in police. Enough is enough.


LOL so you want to pay someone to hang out until things get rough and they run and hide?

metal detectors can't run and hide.

Can't we have threads where people can get updated about specific incidents without them being hijacked by these SRO arguments every time?

Plenty of police have stopped violence too. I’d rather have police there.

Let me guess you don’t have kids or you have five so if one dies no big deal.

Well, clearly something is up. Not sure if it’s just the Covid issues in general, or if it’s that plus the fact that schools were closed for so long.

Agree with the PPs. It is clear that we need SROs or police officers and immediate expulsion of any kid who is violent.

Unlikely we see that happen in MCPS though. MCPS has chosem to double down on restorative justice as a way to control poor behavior.

I'd like to know details too. It's odd to send out such a vague email. If the incident warrants an email at all there should be a few more details, without identifying specific students.

Just got a letter from the principal about an "altercation in a classroom," and ambulance transport of a student. This was clearly not a chemistry experiment gone wrong. I hope and pray the kid will be ok. Do we need metal detectors now?
