[quote=Anonymous]I think its interesting to know how schools handle these issues. At my (private) high school, drugs of any kind in any quantity would get you expelled immediately. Everyone knew this. Drinking, on the other hand, would get you put on probation. A second offense would probably get you kicked out. I'm curious to know what people think. I am inclined towards a "zero tolerance" policy on drugs. I think that kind of clear, bright harsh line provides most kids with the excuse they need to decline - the consequences are just too great. I also don't think the school should be getting involved in treating substance abuse issues, which are incredibly difficult to resolve with even the best rehab. Kicking the kid out & handing him/her over to parents seems like the best approach. But I'd love to hear how other people think about this.....[/quote]
