    3700 students in one high school is too much.

      I agree. I'd rather see 4 schools with less than 1,000 students, but they require land and money.

    Brockton H.S. has always had a bad reputation. I grew up south of Brockton and went through a different school system in the 70s. Things were bad then. Societal problems are worse and show up in the schools.

      The school building itself hasn't even changed much since it was opened in 1971! I heard they are planning an expansion and renovation of the school, so that may improve things.
      But yeah, this is way too much; it's even worse than when I was going there 20 years ago!

    To sum up this media story, it looks like a very safe and productive school where the students and faculty are devoted to academic excellence. While there is a funding and teacher shortage, the students are very understanding of the challenges and are very well behaved in the cafeteria during those periods where they don't have any other place to go. On the rare occasions when violence may surface, social media amplifies these unusual and out of character occurrences for this fine institution of scholarly achievement.

      In other words, they are hushing things up. Even NBC10's coverage directly conflicts with this one: "Brockton High School teachers voice concerns about safety". Everything they want to be normal is not normal. It's run like a prison. Things are only getting worse, and there's no accountability with this kind of leadership.

    Geez, the high school wasn't that bad when I went there 20 years ago!
    Though we did have some teachers absent without substitutes then, but my teachers were rarely absent like that. (My senior English class had two teachers; if one was absent without a sub, the other would run everything.)
    I could be wrong, but 3:05 looks like the biology class I had in my sophomore year!
    One safety/security measure they put in that I DO approve of are the stopper covers they installed over the fire alarm pull stations. (They still need a newer alarm system though, along with a fire sprinkler system.)

    The issue with this story is that it didn't address the biggest issue: teacher shortage. They mentioned how teachers were laid off and they are having difficulty restaffing. That, I promise you, isn't getting to the real issue, which is student disrespect and misbehavior, and a discipline system which pushes pseudoscience as science, which is called "social-emotional-learning" and "restorative justice."

    If does of you who don’t know, I use to go to school since 9th grade and seen bad stuff even this year which made my mom feel scared and worry and want to go to another town so everything will be better and safe with me and my sister. And I wasn’t seen in the video because my ID had a pass to go to next class with no traffic and I have good friends who were new while my childhood friends end up being bad and I hate them a lot. That’s why I hate seeing bad kids by swearing, doing drugs, skip class, and fights to cause toxic of my life.

      That’s because you’ve never been here. Fights happen at every school but when you have 3700 students more students repost and share the videos which make it look like there’s more fight than usual, and metal detectors are present because of something that happened once and that happens very often around American schools which is people carrying guns around without licenses or supervision

    Do they have a volunteer outreach program for adults to help keep the halls feel safe & secure. Surely there are plenty of parents in Brockton that care about their child's experience? I mean I think its a safe assumption that there should be PLENTY of parents to involve with that amount of students.
