[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protecting "the brand" and protecting the privacy of the kid may go hand in hand.  I understand that some parents think they are "entitled to know," but the kid who went through the overdose probably disagrees.

Here's what you need to know: there are kids recklessly using drugs at your kid's school.

The previous sentence applies to all schools.  All of them.  Now the question is how do you keep your kid safe?  That's hard.  [/quote]

100% this. If the incident isn't related to your child, it isn't your business. The school absolutely should have related education and support within the school- ours fortunately does. The parents likewise need to be involved. While I support public schools in general and happily pay our share toward them, I am getting tired of the recent increase in parental entitlement that seems to think that the school/teachers are there to babysit and do the parenting for the parents rather than focus on teaching the subject matter (their actual jobs) and being supportive on the periphery. Not sure if this is a natural or astroturfed phenomenon, but please don't bring it here. You are not entitled to know what another family is going through. Mind your own child.[/quote]
