Why would a letter to the community be needed? The necessary precautions were in place to ensure a safe game. Parents didn’t pick up their kids after and two individuals got in a fight in the nearby shopping center.

Because MCPS routinely puts out community letters about things that involve MCPS students and public safety/criminal matters.

In fact, just this last week, the principals of Odessa Shannon MS, Kennedy and Wheaton HS just put out a joint community letter after students from those three schools engaged in a shootout at the Glenmont shopping center after school hours.

You're comparing a kid slapping a kid to a shooting?

I’m comparing a police-involved incident with students to another police-involved incident with students.

Or did you not see the police intervening in the videos posted? Your attempt to minimize the report of numerous fights down to merely down to merely a slap, despite a complete absence of additional information, belies an allegiance that you are hiding. Are you the parent of one of the students involved or are you a BCC admin who doesn’t want to take the blame for your students making the news for bad behavior once again?

Whoa. So now BCC admin are responsible for the behavior of students after hours? Is that in their job description? Where were the students' parents or guardians? Were these students aged 18? Why are you questioning HS admin about actions of students they are not responsible for after school hours? And if the altercation was off school site (yet to be confirmed based on comments here).

This is not a genuine question, but I’m going to answer it anyway for the benefit of onlookers:

Admin are responsible for school climate and culture. A school climate where violence and aggression are tolerated and perpetuated is absolutely an admin problem. Given that BCC has a track record of fights breaking out after football and basketball games, as evidenced and noted by several posters in this thread, it is clear there is a longstanding culture and climate problem at BCC that admin have failed to address.

If this doesn’t compute for you, then that says more about you and your comprehension and critical thinking limitations.

Someone posts a video of ONE fight, between two kids, says it's "AT" the BCC v WJ games and one or more people run with it to slam BCC, its students, parents and administration? WTAF?

First off, according to people familiar, it's not even at the game -- it's at a shopping center near WJ.

Second, there is ZERO indication that either kid involved in the fight or the bystanders go to BCC (or any other high school, unless I'm missing something).

Nobody has posted anything else showing any other fight, or even reporting on any other fight, let alone one involving a mythical BCC aggressor.

So either you all are trolls having fun, people utterly lacking in critical thinking skills, or just BCC haters. So

Has MCPS denied officially that the students in this video are not in fact BCC students?

Correct. But people want to put all of the burden on parents and none on the team of taxpayer-funded professionals and school system.

Poster, please explain your perspective on the parents’ role.

Address what I posted in response to your original question first before you ask me another.

What? DP and not poster above yours.

Regardless of which poster you are, address what I posted about the role of admin and their role and responsibility before we move on to the parents.
