This is about as much news as is 2 + 2 is 4 and the earth is round. It is Salisbury The Crotch of the Eastern Shore. A democrat stronghold Good people do not live in Salisbury. Garbage does. When garbage is concentrated in a small area the schools are always horrid.
to darn funny! and what is wcboe's response to these fools? donna? fitz? jeffers? crickets!
parents need to demand a change and action so there children can have safe secure learning environment!
Why not arrest the pos's and their so called parents? start deducting funds from their government issued independence cards see how long it takes for them to take action and punish their progeny!
and they want to give the BOE a ton of more money and raise our taxes.
SEND IN SPD WITH PIZZA.
It's always been like that and is the reason we home schooled. Our children are not safe in Wicomico county schools .
The schools in the outer rim of the county are pretty good. Most of the public schools in Salisbury have lots and lots of behavioral problems and it's mostly because the kids suffer very little consequences for their actions.

No, it was not always like that.
This is a result of federal laws from Obama era. Can't hand out consequences to the perps because they are black. This further enables their bad behaviors. In my day people had consequences and some severe, expulsion - I remember families had to move to get kids back into school. Race has not changed, but our response to it has. This change has enabled this sort of thing. I feel sorry for the innocent ones- kids, teachers, administrators. Seems hopeless. If this is a democracy it should work for the majority. Get rid of entitlements, make parents responsible. Take away funds for children's behaviors- that would make a change. If Trump wanted to do something that would make a difference this would be it, should be a bipartisan issue.
Sorry 943, I have been in the area long before anyone ever heard of the name Barack Obama. Believe me, this place has always been CRAP. Nice try though.
Correct I
Obama's policy was done on PURPOSE to start race issues. FACT.
The “children” are the reason it’s not safe.
Discipline begins at home. The school system isn’t designed to be a repository for thugs and hoodlums.
Schools are staffed my educators not prison guards.
It's time to hold the parents accountable. If laws were passed where parents got arrested or fined, you'd see their kids' behavior change quickly.
In reality, it IS the parents' fault in the majority of cases. They either aren't paying attention or they are blaming the teacher/school and defending their thug kids.
Where are our so-called LEADERS? Sadly, they are too intimidated to take a stand!
Easy to say all of those words when you're being anonymous. I was born and raised here and certainly do not look at myself as being garbage, nor do I look at anyone else that way. So to 9:00 AM, what town do you live in? Just curious to see if garbage lives there as well. Sort of goes back to, if you can't say anything nice, why say anything at all?
Northwest Woodsman: How is that school integration working for you Democrat’s? Do you have hope that another 50 or 60 years will improve the situation? Why not just own up to your mistake and start trying to solve the problem?
10:07 a lot of the students are future prisoners though.
Don’t forget to add John Palmer to this list. You know, the guy who spearheaded V.O.I.C.E. and was put on the WCBOE to clean up Increase County Expenditure at the WCBOE. What are his thoughts and plans toward addressing these juvenile delinquents?
I have 4 kids that all went through SMS right after it first opened. Sure there were a few problems here and there but nothing like now. Discipline must start at home. These kids need to face consequences at home as well as at the school. Suspension and ISS do nothing more than give the kids free time. I'm not sure what the solution is but something has to be done. We sure have changed as a society. Most kids today have no respect for authority.
I can speak from experience that this is not happening in
all of the states and has nothing to do with who is or isn’t president. Many decisions are made by the local Board of Education. If a child acts up or causes a problem where I last lived in a much more populated area the child was sent to the alternative school and stayed there the rest of the school year. The next year they could go back to public school if their behavior had improved. If they again had a problem they were sent back to the alternative school where they had to stay to finish their education.
Children that really wanted to learn were given the opportunity in a safe environment and the ones who just wanted to cause havoc also were given the opportunity but in a much stricter environment. Our local board of education can change this and if they won’t then they can move on when you vote. For now people need to join forces and hold these people accountable for how the schools are being run. Will it take having a school resource officer or two at every campus every day all day long. If so......then so be it. Every parent needs to sign a letter of understanding that their child will have consequences for their behavior and it is up to them to make sure their child knows it. I think it would also help if a church or a local community outreach would give free classes on parenting to those single moms struggling with raising tweens and teenagers. Everyone keeps blaming the parents but has anyone offered to give them options for dealing with their children. Not everyone knows how to parent and especially if they came from a home where their own parents did not know how to parent.
There is not an excuse for letting your child run wild but maybe you need some help learning how to cope.
Has anyone offered help to these folks? I am just curious.
STOP throwing more of my money to a failing school system.
I have a daughter who teaches (or tries to) at SMS and a niece who is a student there. I fear for their physical well-being everyday. I just wish, in the name of "common sense", that our leaders could somehow allow our school administrators to take action and expel (not suspend) these out-of-control, undisciplined, trouble-making children. They probably make up about 10% of the student population and cause 100% of the disruptions. A real catastrophic event is inevitable.
Everyone needs to step back for a minute and get a grip. In the SMS fight the kids were white. So, this is not a black thing, or a white thing, this is a school district that is out of control! Unless and until there is consistent discipline for inappropriate behavior this will continue. The clock is ticking on a significant event that everyone is saying "It can't happen here". If you look at Parkland, the shooter had been in trouble many times. He was known to the school as the kid who would likely shoot up the school and nothing was done. When the Wicomico County school board president says "I only want to hear the good things" you have set the tone for this type of behavior. Look at what happened in Ocean City last week. Law enforcement was made to plan a (5) day game of "Wack a mole". Something must be done before we experience a significant event and the finger pointing that will take place after the fact. If Hogan and his MCSS group is not involved they should be. That is, assuming they have a clue as to what needs to me done. Bottom line "time out" does not work!
STOP singling out single parents! That is SOOOO 1950s. There are MANY single parents with children who are respectful and successful. There are many two-parent children who are out of control. “Disengaged” or “uninvolved” parent(s) raise hellions. Lack of consequences at school, at home, and in the community are 💯 to blame, not any particular home classification.
Donna Hanlin and Don Fitzgerald please resign, NOW!!
This is very well said and I agree that alternative schools or “reform” schools need to be an option again. Too many kids that want to learn are not getting the chance because of the few that want to cause trouble
Because the quota is so many suspension allowed per year and race is a factor. When the school is mostly black and causes the most problems they can't do a thing because we are being prejudice. Get real. Take the thugs out and put them in Choices or Juvie.
How about re-opening the youth detention center/camp out by the airport that is just sitting there going to waste? Send the really bad kids there. Instead of detention or suspensions, how about a required work program that has to be completed on weekends or after school? Trash pick-up, power-washing graffiti, playground clean-ups - make the offenders actually have to put in time doing something useful. Hard work can be trans-formative.
As far as someone helping the parents who don't know how to parent - the Churches should come together and provide interventions or opportunities for learning to parent. Churches are full of very talented, giving people. More Christian beliefs (or other religions) may impact some young minds too!
Who said anything about race besides you ?
It is open. Lol.
I say local schools should start a chapter of FPA (future prisoners of america) and instead of letting them into classrooms they can all stay in the gym until a fight breaks out and they can beat the hell out of each other.
We should expand the juvenile detention facility and fill it up. Your children are monsters who should not be in public.
12:14 spot on, I'm a single parent and my child would have never dreamed of acting like these kids because she would have been severely dealt with, and she knew it.
I think all the teachers should flood every meeting until the end of the school year (THAT IS - IF SOME OF US MAKE IT UNTIL THE END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR) because
WE ARE TIRED OF RC(room clears) due to a child deciding they don’t want to do the work or didn’t get what they wanted when they wanted it! and start throwing chairs and whatever else they can get their hands on, destroying the room and endangering the other students trying to learn and us teachers,
WE ARE TIRED of being bitten, punched, spit on, and having objects thrown at us,
WE ARE TIRED of parents not taking responsibility for there child actions and behaviors,
WE ARE TIIRED of not being able to teach because there are so many behavioral issues in the classroom
WE ARE TIRED of the how UNFAIR it is that good kids who do what they are supposed to do have to suffer with more distractions that keep them from learning, and the anxiety and trauma it causes them to the point they are scared to come to school!!!!
WE ARE TIRED of the testing and mandates and extra stuff put on us as a result of the sh*&&y common core liberal red tape BS agenda,
WE ARE TIRED OF BEING OVER-WORKED, UNDER PAID, AND IN DANGER OF BEING HURT EVERY DAY!!!!
WE ARE TIRED!!! and nothing is going to change until we all take a stand together as a UNITED front and say WE ARE TIRED OF THIS AND WE ALL DESERVE BETTER especially the GOOD kids!!!
WE ARE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD, NOW WE NEED TO FIND THE COURAGE TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FIR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!!
So I will be attending every meeting standing up for our profession before it’s to late and the good teachers are pushed out for good!!!
