This is all taking place in my neighborhood.

Not at your school. Again, no one asked for your opinion.

MCPS needs to stop just moving these violent teens from one school to another.


I'm not defending MCPS here, but the restrictions on expulsion are a state-level thing.

Now I believe their decision to close Mark Twain, where they used to isolate kids with such behavioral problems before, I think is an MCPS decision. But even on that I'm not sure.

The sad truth is, there's no such thing as permanent expulsion in public education.

They also closed Noyes. Thank Jwaando.


Bingo. Yes violent children have a right to public education. They do not have the right to be educated in the same classroom as your child. That's just wacko .

If a kid hurts your kid at school PLEASE call the police and press charges especially if the criminal is 13+. It’s the only way we can possibly get these hooligans OUT of these schools and get their parents to take their kids crazy seriously.


Nope, police won't do anything, when our child was attacked at school. We ran into this, filed police reports, and never heard back. The police won't pursue juvenile cases because there is no reproducsions and not worth their time, this is the result of left wing rehabilitation multi-chance no jail culture.


Then you get an attorney and sue MCPS and the parents/guardians/social services.

Oh please that video was so lame.
I attended public schools in Greenwich CT. far, far wealthier than the DMv. I saw fights in MS where blood was flying of the faces of each boy as they punched the next one.

This is small fry.

Yes, a huge downside of countywide school systems. One never knows who has been transferred into your school and why.

This does not happen in township/borough localized school districts such as those in the burbs of PA, NJ, and CT.

Why is that? Admin refuse to do their job?


This is the result of not having a place to put violent students that is separate. Not admins fault but the School Board


Ah. So the school board made the decision to close Mark Twain? Not the state? That clarifies that part at least.
