Big scuffle in the cafeteria, response by police, minor injuries, suspensions and now an obvious investigation.  Wow, first the principal leaving due to "relationship issues" last year, or end of the year before last. Last year, the laced Jolly Rancher candy, then the racial gift giving to AHS students, now this.  Looks like the new principal needs to call in the National Guard to bring these gomers under control.  I know kids will be dumb kids when behaving like this and it happens everywhere, but it seems to either be happening a lot or maybe it's just more public. 4951

@shodan66: Even the best kids with good parents screw up on occasion. I did my fair share of crap once I had a little freedom, and truth be told, most of us did. Habitual screw ups can be blamed on bad parenting, but the one-offs and occasional lapses are just poor choices by kids who are growing up, figuring things out, pushing their boundaries and learning the hard way.
 
Collectively, SCHS has issues, but if a normally good kid got caught up in today's mess, it's unfair to blame the parents 100%.

Things were so much quieter when I attended high school, I remember the week before we graduated a girl rode her horse down one of the hallways. She got a suspension. 4951

DD has volleyball twice per week at Wood Creek Middle School that feeds across the street to SWHS.  If those kids are any indication of what's happening at the high school, then there is very little parenting going on at all.I was in and out of CMS all of the time when DS was there and these two things are not anywhere near comparable.  4951

@Chrisinkingwood: During my 4 years of HS, we had one girl (3 years ahead of me) get pregnant and it was a HUGE scandal.  Now we have high schools with daycares...

@shodan66:  You are right, there are serious problems at Wood Creek MS and Summer Creek HS, and in some of the neighborhoods and homes that feed into that school.  A huge problem is a have/have not line in the sand.  These are Fall Creek, Summerwood and all things between kids.  You have kids with stay at home parents, working parents and parents who rarely see their kids at all and those kids are raising themselves.  It is definitely NOT just a neighborhood school and that is 90% of the problem. 4951

@shodan66: Yes, we had that as well. I remember a girl who just seemed to get fat and wore a big overcoat and then stopped coming to class and we found out she had a baby boy. We all felt a bit dumb.

We had a small police substation in my high school, with routine patrols by the drug sniffing dogs. Needless to say we considered it out of the ordinary if there wasn't a huge fight or someone getting arrested. 4951

I can believe it lol. My mom said it was just as bad when she went, especially when they closed down another school and mixed the two. She said at one point somebody got stabbed with an ice pick walking to class just because the person didn't like what neighborhood they lived in. 4951

In the 70's we lived in an upscale planned neighborhood- much like Kingwood. Our high school was brand new- my class was the first class that spen all 4 years there. We had an outdoor smoking area because the school got tired of all the smoking going on in the bathrooms. We were supposed to get permission from our parents but nobody checked. All kinds of different things being smoked out there between classes!! 😜✌. But not a lot of fighting- no one really wanted swats from the VP's big paddle with holes drilled in it!Sadly this neighborhood has gone down pretty badly. I'm sure there's a lot worse things going on there than smoking- heck Im afraid to drive through those neighborhoods let alone go into that school!! 4951

In my four years of high school, I remember one fight and it was after a football practice when a couple of players got into it.  That's it, in four years of high school in Houston during the 80's.  They didn't tolerate it - the guy that started the fight was expelled and no one heard from him again.  It's a cultural phenomenon today.  I would argue that we don't have a racial problem in the US; we have a clash of cultures.  At my high school, we had mostly lower middle class and middle class folks, with probably 5% or less upper class.  You could try and say it was all WASPS, which it largely was, but the area did then as it does now have a fair amount of Hispanic and Asian representation too.  4951

Exactly @buffaloglenn.The no bs has to start in elementary school, get even more so in middle, and by high school the kids and parents all know what is coming if you get out of line.  Have to have a strong leader in high school.  The kids have to understand, they will be out of the school in a minute.  And then the parents should be made to understand it will be on them to get their kids to what ever school they send them to.  Tough teachers and principals make a school.  Weak ones lead to garbage like this going on.  You don't see this at KPHS because you have a history of a strong principal.  He never would have put up with that, and the new one will not either.  Same at KHS.  The kids know from their middle school years, that they don't have to attend a nice school, they can be sent to other places.  For sure parenting is involved.  But even more so, you have to have standards, and be tough for a school to not have to deal with this daily.  Kids do need structure and they need to feel safe.  A strong staff at any school makes all the difference.
 
@Fallon:
 
Watch the video, that is not a KPHS student body. That is a pepper spray and Taser crowd. 4951
