Six invited guest plus parents is a lot.

BCC v WJ hockey game this weekend is allowing for no spectators except parents and six invited guests per team member. They’re really cracking down. We need to find a space for healthy rivalries without violence. This isn’t just from because of the football game though - also residue from the hockey game fight a few years ago that got both teams temporarily banned from Cabin John.

When has there ever been a gun in play at a MCPS football game?

Why? Because then kids couldn’t easily buy a gun online. It’s even MORE important to be aware and involved now.

Shouldn't the questions be where are the parents and their leadership.

What do you mean, where are the parents? Do you expect parents to chaperone high school students at all time?

No but they should be teaching them that fighting after football games is stupid, useless, and dangerous. It only takes one kid to kid knocked out and hit his head on the curb and poof your life is over.

Kids have been fighting after(and before) football games since the 1940’s. In the 1950’s a BCC vs Blair was postponed until a. Weekday afternoon because of weekend fighting, vandalism’s, and hit and run attacks on each school. It’s something that will go on forever.

There were not issues with guns then. I think violence should be treated a bit differently now.

Why? The same parents fighting those fights now don't have an issue with their kids fighting. It starts with he parents.

your kid either goes looking for a fight or they don't. Plenty of WJ kids were hanging out with their friends from B-CC before, during and after the game.

The police were at the school and in the stadium on their phones and not paying attention to the really bad plan of let's send them out different entrances and then we are done. Well they converge in the parking lot and then the police came running and chased them off the school grounds.

Now let the other cops in the area deal with it.

The kids who were looking for trouble will always find it.

Why do you think parents AREN’T doing this? I’d bet we all are. But kids will do whatever the hell they want despite what their parents teach them. It’s like you can’t grasp the concept that no matter what you teach a kid they’re still going to do what they want to do.

My thought is that if those parents had been parenting those full 18 years those kids wouldn’t be doing violent, dangerous or disrespectful things at age 18.

All these years on DCUM (horrifying), and I still don't know what posters mean when they talk about parents parenting (or not parenting).

Definition of parenting
1 : the raising of a child by its parents
2 : the act or process of becoming a parent
3 : the taking care of someone in the manner of a parent

Of course here on DCUM it means I'm judging you for not being the wonderful parent I am.

Bingo.

Perhaps, but their judgment appears to be spot on.

Yeah, but how about also promoting a more academic environment and less jock culture in high school? Most of the violence directly stems from this type of sports culture mentality. You never see this happening after a non-sports event.

These are huge rah rah sports schools.

Is that in Kavanaugh country?
