Well look, you didn’t need an SRO. The real cops handled it just like they should.

SROs are real cops, too, and they would be in the school rather than school having to call the police which takes time. They are trained to assess risk and deal with someone with a gun better than administrators or security guards.

And since you didn't address the other part of my statement, I guess you agree: RJ and social emotional learning is BS. Get rid of it, and focus on the real issues. Huge achievement gap, violence in schools against students and staff.

Assuming SRO’s are like any cop is like saying any cop can do SWAT or murder investigations. No not all cops are the same.

SRO s are not trained to assess anything, they have literally never stopped an incident from occurring.ever.

RJ works for some and not for others. Principals need to be able to expel and moco needs to stop moving bad kids around. But that’s not new. In 1997 moco move Sheinbein from a W school to Kennedy and he killed someone’s and dismembered them.

Yeah, principals definitely need to be able to go back to suspending and expelling disruptive kids. The RJ and current approach is failing abysmally.

How does the Blair G. Ewing Center work? Is that the new Mark Twain? Why don't they refer more kids to that school if they behave badly?

This is terrifying. There is no barrier or deterrence to prevent kids from bringing weapons on school grounds. Why is everyone ok with this?

We go through screening at the airport to avoid this stuff but despite countless incidents at schools, we continue to let it be a free-for-all. I guess they're waiting for enough kids to die or get hurt before they do something drastic. Even though Magruder already happened on MCPS's watch.

Wrong. There are laws, and they generally work. No need to overreact to a single rumor (which is what this is so far).

A single rumor? Are you paying attention?

Last week, Richard Montgomery was on lockdown for this same issue.

But yeah.....the laws are working and we're overreacting to a single rumor. That math makes sense to you.

Lol, that was 1 week at RM alone in the 70’s and 80’s

Lots of us understand statistical risk and don’t want our kids to go to school in a jail.
