No of course it’s not true. You can’t just impose drug testing on students.

Unless the problem is widespread, I would think this falls into the norm for the age. There are bad apples everywhere. 4 girls doesn’t sound like a lot, and I am sure there are more. Hopefully your kid steers away from that crowd.

I thought the same but i did some research and apparently it is legal.

Many of the kids also have the dark web on their computers and some are accessing inappropriate materials during the school day.

Lol at the idea that you need to use Tor to access "inappropriate materials."

Yup. “THey hAVe The daRk WeB on ThEIr cOmPUteRs.” Where is the clown icon?

New poster here. I went to NCS and I never ever encountered drugs or smoking in the bathroom or anywhere in school buildings.

NP. I went to a very academically rigorous public magnet 25 years ago and I 100% encountered weed in 3 different widely known locations in the school.

NP. I went to Stuyvesant in the late 90s. Getting pot and LSD was so easy. I'm sure I could've gotten coke and MDMA if I tried.

Ha. PP here. I went to Hunter in the same time frame.

The problem is parents don't take this problem seriously 😒and the kids with a parent like you vaping and use drugs anywhere is without consequences. 🙄

But it is the parents like OP who are naive & idealistic whose kids are the ones flying under the radar and doing drugs because the parent is naive.

I fully expect there is drug use at all middle schools and high schools including my kids because that was the case 30-40 years ago when I was in school.

And I fully expect some among the crowd my kids are in will experiment, possibly including my own kids, because I and many others did at the same age.

Having said that in net my guess is that there is a lot less drinking (which concerns me a lot more than pot smoking) and drug use than when I was growing up.

Of course, there are kids who smoke pot, drink, and vape at Hardy. Not sure if they're all happening on campus but it's definitely happening my kid has shared. They are dumb middle schoolers. Know your kid, be in their business, and don't freak out. Our third kid at Hardy right now across the last 6 years. There is a whole crew of uber-rich, uber entitled, and barely supervised kids at Hardy right now. It is predominantly in boundary school now full of Georgetown, Palisades, and Foxhall, kids who spend their days roaming Georgetown, Tenleytown, and wherever else trying to look cool and doing dumb stuff. Typical middle school behavior for some kids but not all. I just wish these kids would go back to their privates and let us poors get back to the business of DCPS. I miss the out of boundry kids...these Key kids are insufferable.

You prefer good behavior like judging and stereotyping?

But there wasn’t drug use at *all* middle and high schools back then, which is why some of us expect better.

Times sure have changed. Hardy just sounds like Deal, Pyle or Westland.

Fair enough that wasn't nice. Not ALL kids from Key are insufferable, but all the kids who ARE insufferable are from Key.

Have y'all ever checked out your kids' Snapchats, TikToks, and Instagram pages? Cuz I have

But, I do prefer the families who don't own 3-4 houses and who realize that flying private jets around isn't normal. I guess that makes me judgey. I'll own it.
