[quote=Anonymous]The title makes it sound like this is a problem that is unique to STA?  Maybe it is, but I doubt it.  I can think of another DC private that has a much stronger rep for having a substance abuse culture.  I'm having trouble getting my mind around what OP is getting at.  At first i thought she was objecting to the fact that the school kicked out kids caught with drugs.  Now I think its that they ignore kids with drugs.  Not clear.  Nothing in any of these posts makes me think this is an issue unique to STA.

I guess OP wants the school to keep the kids in the school but work with the parents on some kind of rehab.  Maybe that would be ideal, but realistically does any school do that?  Or maybe OP wishes there was more of a culture of kids reporting the fact that other kids are using to the administrators.  But, realistically, will that happen?  Anywhere?

I don't have a child at STA so I have no dog in this fight but I wonder how much responsibility can be laid on the school for kids graduating with substance abuse issues.  Is this unique to any school?[/quote]
