So your answer is to do nothing until a student or teacher is seriously hurt or worse?

We spend billions on technology for airports and borders and still kids are able to get past it sometimes. Drugs and weapons still find a way onto planes, trains, and to cross the border. Its not about not doing nothing, but not over reacting and believing that one piece of technology is going to solve a societal problem.

Technology should be part of the solution. It is not 100% effective but it is a tool that should be used in addition to other safeguarding measures. We need metal detectors asap. And more trained security guards.

But how is this possible?

It is not just Silver Spring. It's where there's concentrated pockets of poverty within the county. These patterns are consistent in Silver Spring, Germantown and Montgomery Village/Gaithersburg.

We have poor people who are struggling with poverty, instability, family disruption, and they turn to crime, such as drug dealing or gangs, to cope with those adversities.

This is not new and MCPS and the county supposedly have an onslaught of social services to support and stabilize those families, but clearly they're failing.

The hard streets of Montgomery County have driven many to crime.

This would have been funny up until about 1989. MoCo isn't all peaches, cream and Potomac

Schools are not safe.

+1 especially Magruder. At least our kids aren’t in that war zone. However, something needs to be done about Northwood before it turns into a Magruder.

It already is.
Three teachers resigned on Monday.

Three Magruder teachers.
