So the point in identifying the offending kids is what? Are they going to put them in detention or teach them better chemistry so they at least don’t blow themselves up and burn their kids?

KxVX, you must be a GD genius as the drill sergeant in Forest Gump said. And I bet you don’t even have a degree in Education?

Rehabilitation comes from the user WANTING TO QUIT, it does not come from mandatory rehab programs.

Yeah no kidding. When I did my placement at an elementary school, my head teacher told me she was the only teacher on the entire hall who was not on Meds. I am sure she meant psychotropics.

This is a complete waste of money. How does it target the problem? Identify the offending kids then what? Check your insurance because I bet money it won’t pay much for treatment. Adolescents need plenty of inpatient treatment when it comes to drug and alcohol.

So, instead of the Flag Pole Prayer thingie, I guess we can have daily NA meetings. “Hello, my name is principal… and I am an addict!”

Haha. Or the teachers!

Test their parents.

I just feel that kids are more likely to try drugs in high school than in middle school.  I am probably wrong though. But I am glad they added another high school to the list.

I think if they really want to help kids get off drugs or to discourage them from even trying drugs, testing the middle school students is key.

However, I think that if a kid can use drugs and still make good grades, more power to ‘em!
