NIMBY folks getting in the way of MCPS trying to separate out the kids that need an alternative program. Can’t have your cake and eat it too FV folks. You already mostly send your kids to private schools and you have no sidewalks in your neighborhood to discourage outsiders driving or walking around.

Thank you for this news clip. It’s pertinent to the school safety issue. It looks like this previously unused county property will now be used for the violent kids.
Any idea what kind of staff they’ll have in order to manage these kids? Will consequences be allowed?

I imagine the existing Blair Ewing admin and staff would go with the kids.

Yeah, I do concede that MCPS was not transparent and probably should have been, but the Ewing kids need to go somewhere and that is an MCPS holding school, so not much grounds for the FV community to push back here.

What kind of consequences are the teachers allowed to give violent offenders?

Ask Chief of Schools Peter Moran. His shop is the one revising the Code of Conduct as we speak: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/05/12/mcps-student-code-of-conduct-revisions/

Fellow teacher here. Kids are bringing weapons to school, choking other students, having sex on school grounds, etc, and you want admin to sit down and run a 24 hour video tape to see who broke into your childs locker? There are way bigger issues than your childs hoodie. No one is going to sit down and stare at the footage of one camera to figure this out. Let this go.

Who exactly do you think is responsible for allowing so much violence at our schools?

Weak admins that won’t stand up to central office. Central office hooligans who are extremely removed from all forms of reality think all students can be handled with proper sit down conversations. Ugh. If one more of these yahoos gets another worthless “doctorate” in educational management i think I might start personally suing the accrediting bodies that allowed them to think they know what to do. They all are a waste of space.

This is the opinion of a fed up teacher who feels they wasted prime career time on a company that does not value excellence as they claim. (I came from outside of education have been a “real” manager for what’s that worth).

Outside of education and the nepotism of MCPS? They would be fired so so fast. SO fast. That’s who is causing this- look no further than 45 Gude Dr.
