See right there is how I know you know nothing about the school. This family would easily find the other white, UMC, intact, educated families and their kids would join sports, chorus or band, and of course take AP classes. Basically these kids bubble themselves and this has been the way it's been for a long time. Many kids who go to private school for years end up going to the high school.

DP. Maybe some of us white UMC families aren't content to send our kids to a violent school in the hopes we can shelter them in a bubble. How are they going to concentrate on school when there are weekly brawls and thugs are bringing guns and knives to school? Even if they're not directly involved, that's stressful and frightening. And there's always the possibility of bystanders getting hurt.

Meh white parents have been doing it for a long time so don’t worry by the time your snowflake gets to high school you will have figured out how it works.

TIL ACPS's parent's plan is "keep your head down and hope for he best. Try to ignore the shootings and brawls"

Pathetic that some of you not only accept it, but also discuss it with some perverse bravado.

I’m sorry but how is it depressing for only white UMC? We are failing all students in ACPS but at least those of means can go elsewhere (and many do…just look at the private schools in Alex).

Not only that, but you had the luxury of moving across the country as an "educated intact family" and did zero research? Not sounding that educated to me.

It must be so difficult for the white upper class to Google the area they're moving to.

Why so bitter? Poor, dumb, or single?

Is it just a coincidece that the first day after SROs were voted to return, a credible threat was called in?[b]
