Please keep an eye on your kids - talk to them. Because those in charge won't help you.

Distributing it to other kids at school, right under MCPS's nose.

I bet this is the case. MCPS has a huge problem with kids distributing and using drugs AT schools. And if you ask most teachers, they'll say that they don't really think McKnight has a plan to deal with this.

Same at our middle school! The kids are dealing drugs at school and outside of school. My kid has witnessed it in the bathroom. It’s crazy that our schools have become a ‘safe’ place for the kids to distribute drugs to other students.

Don’t blame the principal. He’s right. There really is nothing he can do! It’s a complicated and dysfunctional system all around.

I think the principal should show leadership instead of waiting for someone to OD. I don't know why everyone is throwing their hands up to this. Maybe the parents should start being charged if their kid is found dealing drugs on or near school property. What happened to the 'drug free' zones? I'm not an alarmist but this is harmful to turn a blind eye to. If they get away with selling weed, they can get away with other things. It's a slippery slope that we won't be able to come back from without consequence if this is allowed to continue.

This attitude is why I'm so upset about marijuana being legalized in MD. Marijuana proponents will insist, "It's still illegal for minors!" but because it's legalized, law enforcement no longer think it's worth the trouble to go after kids for something that's legal for adults to do.

Nevermind all of the research that shows how harmful marijuana use is to adolescents. No one in state and local government cares anymore. Everyone just turns a blind eye to weed. It's depressing.

Did you vote NO on Question 4 last year when you casted your vote for Moore? It was passed in Maryland with ~67% vs ~33%

I also find this terrifying. I have one kid in high schools and one in middle school. Drugs abound at both schools.

I’m not happy that weed was legalized. But the weed doesn’t scare me as much as the fentanyl and the other drugs floating around. We try to talk about it, but the drugs are just SO ubiquitous IN schools. It’s terrifying and so disheartening that our political leaders and MCPS leadership really isn’t doing anything about the problem.

Instead our high school is hosting a seminar about Restorative Justice. Which clearly hasn’t been effective in getting drugs out of schools.
