How do you as a teacher/parent/student feel about drug tests in schools?
please specify what your status is (teacher/student/parent)
please express your true feelings
thank youHow do you as a teacher/parent/student feel about drug tests in schools?
Former student.
I don't care. For after school activities like sports or whatever, sure. If they want to participate, they should be clean and law abiding. Not too different from regular rules like how they shouldn't ditch class or otherwise get in trouble.
However, I think it's a waste of limited resources to drug test the entire student body if not all of them do after school stuff or have otherwise had problems.How do you as a teacher/parent/student feel about drug tests in schools?
drug tests is bad cuz when u get hi like i be when i be doing that basso lambasta den i be tinking where my hed at mean?
ex-student and its wrong unless ur in sports and **** like that bc its personal what i do in my spare time and its just a way for the government to control us first its this then its what we watch on tv it should stop here
NO.
as a student.
As a retired teacher and as a former high school principal I feel that drug testing is a good idea.
First and foremost, taking drugs is an unhealthy and dangerous situation for the person who is involved. We have health education where we are supposed to teach our students good health habits of which drugs are not part.
Secondly, if the school and society accepts illegal drug use it is taken by many as open permission to engage in this activity and may influence others to try the so called recreational drugs.
Thirdly, the students involved in drug use frequently do not have a clear head and their education suffers along with their health. I believe that so called minor drug use for many leads to major drug use in many cases.
Fourthly, drug use for at least some presents a need for money. Theft and other illegal actives may occur.
Fifthly, the passage of money between student and student can lead to arguments and fights.
Sixthly, the school has an obligation to parents to see that their children are not exposed to drugs.
As far as the legality of drug testing is concerned I believe that they are legal. Students have rights, but they have no right to take or sell drugs on public property nor are their lockers private property. Lockers are subject to the rules of the school.
I know that many will be opposed to the views presented above but I offer them at least partially in response to your statement: ';please express your true feelings';.
Drug tests are just a hassel 4 everybody. As a student, i dont like them at all.
I am a parent and ex- high school teacher.
As a business owner my employees are subject to random drug testing. And there are LOTS of jobs now that incorporate drug testing as part of employment. We know that pro-athletes and Olympians are also subject to drug testing. Many insurance companies require blood and/or saliva tests that can be used to detect illegal drug use. So, if drug testing is a part of adult life, and we are trying to train up our teenagers to be outstanding adults one day, then yes, drug testing should be introduced to them in high school. Especially if it is used to determine if a student can participate in extra-curricular activities, be on the honor roll, lead in student government, and such.
Having passed thru all stages of your sample population, i can only give my combined opinion.
Drugs are such a big problem, action is needed.
Blanket testing of students and faculty, and any school visitor.
Make it often and unwarned.
Introduce severe consequences, and stick with them.
If you are worried about your civil liberties, you have the right to stay home. Also youll probably want testing after your child steps on a dirty discarded needle :)
Test now, improve the problem, review the policy for improvement.
As a slightly more opinionated student, I think that drug tests are necessary in schools. Who wants to see little Johnny doped out in music class? I feel that they are needed to make sure that kids aren't bringing drugs to class and ruining their bodies.
On the other hand, as a helper and a bit of an educator myself, I say that drug tests are a violation of privacy and the first amendment of the United States: we all have an entitlement to privacy with weapons, drugs or secret plans to blow up the Death Star.
Then again, drugs sometimes encourage cheating. Look at high school/college sports. They both are known for their accusations of steroid use. But some drugs in school encourage kids to be emotionless, unthinking and utterly unopinionated zombies who believe the typo in the history book. Ritalin, for example, if you act up, it's the whole 10 yards with the lobotomy and the Ritalin addiction. So it depends on your feelings on drug tests or what they're used for...
As a teacher, I think they should test the PARENTS for drugs before allowing them to procreate in the first place. As far as random drug screenings of students or teachers, it might not be such a bad idea. I don't personally know any teachers who take any non-prescription drugs, but then I work in a smaller school district.
i don't think there should be drug tests. i guess i really don't understand the reason for it.concealer makeup

What do you say to a parent who doesn't like anything you're teaching?
Even when you explained it's mandated. No other parent has a problem with me. However, this one parent was even upset that I was teaching his child the Bill of Rights.What do you say to a parent who doesn't like anything you're teaching?
Give the parent a copy of the program of studies. If they want to challenge that, they need to do so at the state level.What do you say to a parent who doesn't like anything you're teaching?
I had a parent object to her child's learning about the Declaration of Independence and the Fourth of July, and who refused to allow her child to be involved in any discussion of elections (this was last fall during the Presidential election).
It was hard for me to deal with, because of my teaching philosophy that I am preparing students to be competent citizens. In the end, though, I did what you did - I explained that I am bound by law to deliver the mandated curriculum. I also involved my principal at an early stage of the disagreement, just as a CYA. I did just as my principal told me to do; I figured they pay him the big bucks to sort out problems like these.
This past school year was the first time I have ever had a serious problem with this... I had a young man in my class and his parents were down my neck the whole school year about my class being too hard. He had always had good grades in math, and he had a steady B average in my class. I do push my kids to excell and sometimes my tests are not the easiest, but everything I teach is state mandated. I offered to help this child after class, line him up a tutor, or do anything I could to help him get the grade he wanted. That is my policy. You could just not please his parents though. I stood my ground on the way I taught and spent the whole year trying to explain to this to them. I am kind of glad he has moved on to Mrs. Thompsons 11th grade Algebra 2 class lol
well first off why is the parent upset about it? I don't think there's any really way to calm a parent down... all you can do is tell the parent learning one small thing opens doors to others regardless of whether or not we agree with it. Frank Herbert said, ';The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.'; or if you want to get all new age a quote from J.K. Rowling, ';His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.';
also why not try easing the parent's mind by asking a higher authority why specifically the ';sensitive'; subject is even taught? ya know, tell the parent you would ask personally? (even though he should know!)
i found this ';The Amendments contained in the Bill of Rights make up a huge percentage of the values that this country was founded on. The Bill of Rights was, at the time, what set us apart from England, and for that matter, every other established country. It was a very radical move back then. ';
i'll shut up now...since i don't know specific reason why the parent has a problem with you teaching the child about the bill of rights....but i hope this helps! good luck!
Explain you have rules you have to follow. Tell him he can put his child in a private school, or home school the child if he has a problem with the public school curriculum.
I would show then a copy of the state standards and tell them that if they want to change what is taught, then they need to go to the state legislature. But until then, they should leave you alone.
Its in the curriculum. you have to teach it and if they aren't happy why don't they home-school the kid.
LOL..if its statemandated then this parent can't do anything about it
id tell them to get over it or homeschool there child

How can you get emancipated from a custody contract that your parents have and not have to visit 1 parent?
my mom lives all the way across the country and i have had to visit her every summer for my whole life the custody contract says that untill im 18 i have to visit her. she threatens to take us to court if i dont.i am looking to get a job and i need the summers available for hours because i am only 16.another reason that i want to not have to visit her is because of how i am treated i am always geting yelled at and my stepdad isnt the nicest person in the world.How can you get emancipated from a custody contract that your parents have and not have to visit 1 parent?
Okay, get this straight. You can not be emancipated from one parent. It doesn't work that way.
Secondly the order of visitation is not to force you to visit the non-custodial parent, it is to make sure that IF you want to visit and IF the non-custodial parent wants you there your custodial parent can not keep you from visiting. So, what YOU need to do is call your mother and let her know that you will not be visiting her. Let her threaten to take you to court, she doesn't have a leg to stand on.

How do you cope with a parent who doesn't want anything to do with you?
My mother is angry with me...no longer wants me in her life. I'm trying to pack up the last of my belongings and leave her home and she doesn't want me to do that when she isn't there it seems she doesn't trust me. I am seeking counseling but would love advice/input from anyone who can tell me how I might reconcile this.How do you cope with a parent who doesn't want anything to do with you?
my dad recently throe me out and all my life iv ben treated like **** what i did was just stoped caring what he ses i just let go but not enuf to fall there is a simple thing to do in your case witch is just have nothing to do with her and i cant say someday it will get better because most likely it wont and ppl need to face that im sorry for whats happening but if she wants u to be in her life then be in her life just not fully like at anytime u can leaveHow do you cope with a parent who doesn't want anything to do with you?
Move out %26amp; Move on..Be the better person! Keep moving forward %26amp; dont look back... RECENTLY done and my life is so much better without the people who hurt my family and tried to hurt me. Kep your head up and Move on...
My mother and I have never been close. I'm 40 now, and I recently had an epiphany about that, based on a comment she made to during a visit to my home.
After pouring out all this angst about how I felt as a child, she sighed heavily and said, ';I'm not responsible for you.';
I wondered if she meant that now that I'm 40 she wasn't responsible for my unhappiness. Or if she meant it from the moment I was born---a lot of things that happened to me as a child could apply to that statement as well.
In the end, I decided it didn't matter, then or now. What I gleaned from her implied apathy was that she's human. I was strange child. I liked to read and write. I was shy and said strange things. I wrote her long rambling short stories that I'm surprised didn't land me on a child psychiatrist's sofa. She was a human being who didn't have all the answers to raising a child, esp. a peculiar one. She did the best she could, now it was up to me to take care of myself.
I don't know how old you are. I don't know if you've been in trouble, accidentally or intentionally. I don't know if she's an unfit mother or you're an incorrigible child. In the end, this is where your relationship with her has landed you. Perhaps it's time, as you embark upon premature adulthood, to take stock in your responsibility in that relationship. If you omitted a past with her that was rocky and difficult due to YOUR actions, then you need to figure out if you want to (a) keep messing up now that you're on your own (b) pass on the legacy of indifference and drama to your future children by NOT repairing your relationship with yourself and your mother or (c) move out of her life completely, as you believe she wants, and start a whole new chapter for yourself and not learn anything. There are other choices, but now, it doesn't matter how it came about that you NEED to choose. Now it's important that you simply choose.
Your counselor will help you make these choices, so I suggest you keep seeing him/her. Start a good habit of taking care of yourself and your responsibilities and you'll have a firm foundation for your adult life. That means, getting a job, living within your means, and creating relationships that support and nurture you. It's called picking up the pieces. Or rather, where your mother left off.
I wish I could tell you how to resolve this because your road is about to get a bit more rocky than it's been. But if you want to reconcile with your mother, you need to see her as a human being, flawed and imperfect. Just like you. Try to be understanding, try to articulate your feelings as best you can, try to be objective. And most of all, try to love your mother in spite of what you perceive as her faults and shortcomings. When you were a baby spitting up all over the place, she did this for you because she had to. No one asks a mother is she indeed wanted to be a mother. Sometimes, it's just a choice she doesn't get to make wholly on her own. Forgive and move on.
It depends on what she is angry about. Chances are, since you are packing your things and leaving, that it was something serious. But believe it or not I went through the same thing with my mom about a week ago :). Except I had no intentions of reconciling with her. Seeing on how you do, I'd say you already made the first move by giving her what she wanted and moving away. The next step would be to try and re-establish communication. Be it through lots of emails, texts, or messages on the phone. Just let her know that you want everything to be better and that your sorry for whatever happened. If that doesn't work I'd say give it some time for the wounds to heal. Go on with your life and let her do the same, and then sometime in the future maybe she will have put it all behind her. Anyway a bit long winded I know, but I hope it helps.
I don't know the history here so it's hard to give advice on this, nor do I know your age. It sounds like there has been a history of disappointment and broken promises and possibly some betrayal felt on your Mom's part, justified or not.
My suggestion would be to collect your things when she is home, apologise for whatever happened and let her know you are going to change. Take some time to get your life together, take some responsibility for your actions and come back to her in the not too distant future telling her what you are doing to fix your situation.
Actions always speak louder than words so if the trust has been lost for whatever reason, show her through your actions that you have changed and be consistent. If you can show her that you want to reconcile and that you are making a concerted effort to change, things will probably work out in the end. First step is to look in the mirror and ask yourself what role you played in this and go about making the changes that you can control.
for now- move on with your life
maybe someday in the future you'll want to reconcile
a therapist can help you either accept that your MOm isnt a motherly loving person or help you move on with your own life
Good Luck

Can you still become a foster parent and be on parole?
A friend has a criminal history which all happen nearly 15 years ago. He is still on parole today. His charges are mostly drug related. Will he be disqualified due to still being on parole%26gt;Can you still become a foster parent and be on parole?
More than likely yes he will be disqualified.Can you still become a foster parent and be on parole?
I think he would. The idea of foster care is to put the child in the best possible placement a person on parole would be looked at as a risk. When applying to become a foster parent it is a long process with many checks and balances one of the checks is Criminal history.
Maybe your best bet is to call Department of Human Services
(they handle child welfare
The phone no. for DHS is: 1300 650 172 (inside australia)
Yeah most definitively..Foster kids may be desperate , but they certainly don't need to be around a criminal.They had enough of a bad start already.Don't you think?
Parole for 15 years! what did he do, run a cartel? I certainly wouldn't put a child with this person, but our courts do a horrible job of protecting children, so it just might happen.
i can't see them giving foster children to convicted drug abusers/sellers. But he could give it a go.
Yes, you will be disqualified. Kind of gave away that you're talking about yourself with your name ';foster parent'; and all
I hope so...anything that happened 15 years ago and they are still on parole was no little thing...
I would definitely think so.
It's not a good sign as it means he's been jailed in the past, he would probably be unsuccessful as there are thousands of other people who want to foster but have not been jailed for drug offenses.
Yes.
thats a big fat yes

Is anyone here involved in their Parent School Council, and what are some problems?
you face in that council?Is anyone here involved in their Parent School Council, and what are some problems?
I did it for 10 years. Problems are that no one wants to do anything, they get jealous when you do, and hate you when you succeed. And when you get to a point where you are really GOOD at what you do they think they can do it better. So you walk out, they fall on their face, come crawling back and that's where you tell them to take thier ***** and shove it.
They can have a nice little funeral for you cry, pick up the pieces and carry on...just like real life.Is anyone here involved in their Parent School Council, and what are some problems?
LOL...sometimes it's a thankless world and frankly when I deal with people like that, any goodwill I have just flies right out the window.
