Yea thats true… it wouldnt make a difference one way or the other to me ... i just think its a good idea for students… may prevent a drug addiction/dependancy down the road

I personally believe that they need to do better background checks on all child care workers and drug test as well.  And you are right their is a difference between adults and children.  But most employers require a drug test.

There is a difference between an adult and a child.  No I don’t want my child taught by a drug addict!! Who does ...

SumOneILove based on recent cases - 2 come to mind where the teachers were on drugs - Do you want your kids taught by a drug addict?

Let’s test from the top down. Those making the most money get tested first. Children get tested last. Of course the powers that be will never be tested for anything.

Ha Ha no ... teachers and staff are adults and unless they are showing signs then Leave em alone they have enough to deal with!!!

what about teachers and staff?

I think drug testing students who are in sports is a great idea.  I also agree with medcap

Instead of drug testing the kids in school, how about drug testing the people living off social services. Test positive and have your benefits stopped.

$100,000 may cover the testing—but what about the admistration cost, i.e, paperwork, suspensions, counseling, etc. that will come about after the testing?
