Jackson Jambalaya

So sad that teachers have to work in this environment.

Was a winner declared by KO, TKO or just a decision? I think in these incidents, they should gather up the fighters and put them into a ring to duke it out, then the winner must stand up against anyone who wants to have another go with him/her. If he/she wins against all challenges and repeats, then they can go to jail a winner.

still wearing mask...........lol

There was additional scholarly debate at Callaway yesterday and JPD had to be called.

We are living in an animal state - it's dog eat dog...

And one wonders why parents (of all races) have no desire to send their children into that environment?

My high school was NEVER like this-

That is some aggressive and passionate debating going on.

No guns or knives evident, so that's something a tiny bit positive.

This nasty culture is holding our state back.

I agree with 10:54. Any fight with no gunplay is a win these days.

Is there a video or something missing here? I see 10 comments but I can't see what is provoking the comments.

Word on the street is this was a gang-related dispute. Gang culture is a huge problem in McComb.

90-degrees out and they are wearing hoodies. School or gangsta uniform?

This is why private schools exist in this state.

McComb playing South Pike in football, originally scheduled for Friday night. Game changed to Friday afternoon at 2PM. Only players, coaches, and necessary personnel allowed in/or on stadium grounds. No parents, or other fans allowed.

“C” grade school doing “C” grade school things.

Tax $$ hard at work.

I'm sad the bar is this low, but good for them for not shooting or stabbing anyone. So thankful I went to public school in the 90s, before the world fell apart.

Remove cel phones from K-12 schools. Put them in storage upon entry if you can't go the full distance. There's a wee chance it would result in improvement in student attention, perhaps even performance. Even a wee chance is worth it. And this kind of nonsense doesn't get promoted. Come on school administrators, it's a common sense thing.

Crowd was all wee wee'd up!

McComb is a mini Jackson.

Just last week, one of their city council members (they call em' selectmen) ... went on a rampage at the weekly board meeting screaming about her name being on a letter that her fellow board member had sent to the McComb School District questioning use of funds.

No one could figure out what she was ranting about.

Long story short, she was upset about her name being on official city Stationery.

You can't make this stuff up.

Hell ... I don't think the Jackson City Council is even that stupid about official city letterhead.

So no, I'm not surprised about the McComb High School fiasco one bit.

The same culture of death and destruction doing what they do.

Seriously, why call this "school?" They don't want to be there, so they're not going to learn anything other than how to be a more efficient gangbanger.

This lesson plan is titled "Introduction to MDOC."

Nationwide, this has been the strategy:
* screw the schools up
* claim the schools are screwed up due to lack of funds.
* get more funding from taxpayers feeling guilty.
* use the increased funding to screw the schools up more.
* claim the schools are screwed up due to lack of funds.
* get more funding from taxpayers feeling guilty.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat...

I have animals that behave better. Me, if I was their teacher,-“Y’all turn off the lights when you get done.”

So very sad - I graduated from McComb High School in the late 70s. It was a fantastic model school district with top notch faculty and administration and very little tolerance for bad behavior. I have heard over the years it declined and the video sadly shows just how far it has fallen. I know others from my era feel the same sadness and disbelief that so many formerly great schools they attended around the state, including Jackson, have fallen so far. Personally I think the disintegration of the family and parental “non-involvement” are as much to blame, if not more so, than the schools - faculty and administration can only do so much and just throwing money at it is not going to fix it. Very sad - pray for our schools and our children.
