I noted locking away loaded magazine in a gun safe. Silly but
From my daughters elementary school;
...Mrs. Kanter will discuss the topic of supporting Transgender Youth
I went to Montgomery County schools in the 60's & 70's. If I recall at the time, Springbrook HS was one of the best rated schools in the state. We couldn't get away with ANYTHING that students do now. We also knew which bathrooms we were to use.
Earle B Wood was a good school. Teachers took no Sh*t, and little to none was tried, including cutting classes. Today it's where you go to eat breakfast and lunch gratis. I just hope the schools in my part of the county can hold out a few more years. Gaithersburg and Germantown have went to hell. Was not bad in the 80's. Peary was an OK school if you were self motivated. If you wanted to slack, not a problem After going to Wood, it was like devolving two grades going to Peary.
Appears Maryland's test scores have dropped;
Funny, I received two letters yesterday addressed "Parents of <student name here>" from Montgomery County Schools. It is basically an "excuse letter" to be prepared that scores will be lower, and they blame it on using a different test.
My kids go to school there now. Well, in the building, at least. It's a pretty nice place now, now that they've basically gutted and rebuilt it.*picture of some kids presumbly Schipperke being one of them at Peary*

Wood and RHS here too.
Speaking of teachers that didnt take shit. Reminds me of my favorite shop teacher (RIP)
I've told my kids countless times how i watched him break up fights, how we would get shot with a CO2 fire extinguisher for sitting in his recliner and had a friend get sent to the health room to tend to a bloody nose due to teacher/student rough housing.
Man those were some fun times
Yup. Wifey lived in Manor and went to Wood. Then she had a choice of Magruder or Rockville- even Peary. She stayed through 9th grade at Wood and then went to Rockville where we met. I was from the other side of the tracks in Twinbrook. LOL Lived on RM side of Viers Mill on Ardennes. Went to St. Jude and then Good Counsel for a year then RHS. A lot better back then. Teachers were more strict and overall, students tended to be more respectful. Too many ahole illegals and punk ass kids now. When the parents come to school because their kids were bad, now the parents go and bitch out the teachers, not their own kids. Back in the 70's when I was at Rolling Terrace and Oak view, if a kid acted up- whether black, white, whatever, all of us would go "ooooooo someone is going to get their butt wipped" the parents would come in and give their kid shit for embarrassing the family, and get a whuppin. I had to get my switch for my Mee-Maw on occasion. I seem to be ok today...
I was in Flower Valley. I remember doing something stupid and a neighbor came out, made me apologize to him, dragged my ass home and had a chat with my parents. My parents made me apologize to him again, closed the door and then I really got in trouble.
