Avoiding the drugs testing in schools...?

Question

Imagine if the drugs testing in schools became a law.

What would you think of schoolkids, teachers etc who avoid it?

There could be a good reason behind it, such as the huge bill for testing all pupils within a school. An average sized secondary school could face a £10,000 bill after just one year. There could be a bad reason: powdered urine is available for sale on the internet. Mixed with water, it is intended to be used to defeat drug tests.

Would there really be any point in implementing drugs testing in schools if things such as the above were occuring on a large scale? Would you still push for the law?

Answer 1

For the staff a hair follicle test should be a must! For the students a random testing selection gives them an out when peer pressure rears it's ugly head! They can always say I can't! I might get tested and if there is evidence of student drug use then a test should be used! Random testing cuts the cost.

Answer 2

1. Drugs are bad, mmmmkay?

2. There is now a law enforcement detection test for powdered urine. Really (drying process apparently causes a particular kind of decomp not seen in the fresh stuff.)

3. If the tests are backed up with effective punishment (not that such things seem to exist for kids in our lawyered-up age), it's a good thing.

Kids need to learn that they shouldn't do drugs at school, when it can wreck their schooling, discipline and future lives quite effectively.

Wait until university.

The way drug tests are done, there is no way you can cheat it. The temp of the sample is measured immediatly after being passed, and unless it falls within a very narrow range of the body temperature it will be classed as an adulterated sample, or one that doesn't belong to the person. This is assuming that the testing is done to legal guidelines. It will also be tested in several ways, all designed to defeat cheating. As fast as cheats are produced, counter measures are found. Females are, sometimes, able to cheat by secreting the sample in a condom inside thier body, then fishing it out and making a hole in the condom and then saying it is their sample, the temp would be the same. But in some places the passing of the sample is observed, either by CCTV or by a person of the same sex.

If I had children they would be homeschooled because most parents don't want to know what goes on in Public School. Thats why anything you do now for the benefit of education will not work. Treating everyone at the lowest common intelligence has never worked. Why not make sure every child knows how to read before they graduate at 12th grade? If you do that perhaps you wouldn't need to drug test.

Answer 5

I wouldn't push for the law anyway - it's a gross invasion of civil liberties. If someone has a drugs problem it manifests in their behaviour either deal with that behaviour or exclude them from school don't treat everyone like criminals.
