We Have No Clue What This Is About, Do You?

Wicomico Sheriff and Wicomico County Public Schools continue to follow up on Social Media rumors about school safety. At this time we have not found any credible information to support these rumors. All school operations operating safely at this time.

That is because most of you think facebook and twitter are social media. They are if you are over 20 something.

Parkside has been running under code orange all week. Rumors going around about shooting supposed to happen this past week. There has been increased deputies at school this week.

Yup. My daughter told me yesterday that there was a rumor circulating that "someone was going to shoot all the white kids at third lunch." Also rumors that a gun and/or tazer was found on school property. This is all related to the fight that took place last Friday across from PHS.

It's about the situation that happened at the fight across the street at parkside a couple of days ago and its mainly a racial issue because basically it's like the westside kids vs the rednecks sorry to say that but it was true and the violence has gotten so bad that people were scared to come to school today because they had "PLANS" to do something at the school and that's why we have a couple more officers and more staff from the boe building helping out. Another main thing is that the rednecks were calling people the n word and the westside folks didn't like it so there has been a lot of violence at the school the last couple of weeks at parkside, it's crazy how people talk stuff about wihi being horrible , tbh I don't even feel safe at this school anymore, the first floor has no classroom doors so kids are scared but they say they can't cause of fire marshall but upstairs got doors that's another crazy thing, another thing is there is a lot of drug trafficking in the school... Both black and white and like the safety precautions are very horrible at this school... No one talked about how during american education week when there was a teacher that left the door open and a person walked in and everyone thought she was a parent and she wasn't. There is so many exits that kids sneak out of school to go to royal farms and come back. Kids do tobacco by the portables in the back of the school. This school is so divided. And the administrators aren't even hard on the kids. Like the other day a kid lit the bathroom on fire, kid got caught with a pocket knife and was suspended, man the list can go on and on... But mainly can your get use some DOORS downstairs that's all we want right now, we feel so unsafe. -Parkside sophomore

6:33,it doesn't matter what age you are, twitter and facebook are social media. You may not use them but that's what they are

You missed the point. Kids, teens & millennials don't use them. If you are looking to see what is going on in the schools, it ain't on FB or twitter.

As far as I'm concerned, Facebook and Twitter should be taxed and licensed to people 21 and older. Too many stupid people use them for stupid purposes.

I think 708 needs to report every week about what is really going on in the school.
I'm so sad for our children.

Life was so much better when we had separate schools from them.

Separate but equal, at first.

As we strengthen our racial divisions we will soon find that it will never work. The blacks are taught at home to hate whites , the whites are now learning that they can't associate with some or even most of the blacks. We tried without success to change our acceptance of integration. It just doesn't work anymore. The Obama administration has enforced the black attitude of hate.
Prediction: when it starts in the schools it will spread very fast because the parents will protect their kids. My guess is that a few trouble maker blacks have started this whole thing , it spread like wild fire . Bring it!

Ahhhh good ole school days! Golden rule days! NOT!!!!!!!!

Thank God my children and grandchildren were/are in private school where parents of all nationalities and colors have learned to get along. Children in these schools are being raised by intelligent socially responsible adults and that makes all the difference.

Children raised in the slums bring the slums to school.

Parkside was not under any codes except green all week long.

There was a fight across the street and it has its roots in racial animosity among those involved.

DC and Annapolis are responsible for forcing local officials everywhere to soft-pedal any punishments for misbehaving students of all races, which undercuts the ability of responsible kids to learn in a positive environment.

Students who 'earn' removal from the regular school should continue to be educated but should only be re-admitted after documented improvement in both behavior and genuine academic achievement. What currently exists is not working, despite efforts by dedicated staff.

Legislature mandated school to age 17 this year, increasing to age 18 next year. How do you think the unmotivated and disruptive students will respond?

Parents everywhere need to put heat on the legislature and congress to let schools deal with behavioral realities in a manner that really serves the good kids and attempts to let disrupters straighten out in a different setting.
