[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She knows vaping is illegal. She knows she's not supposed to do it at school. A friend invited her to smoke in the hall. So, of course, she accepted. I'm at a loss. 
A lot of her friends vape in parks around the school. [/quote]

A lot of kids vape in the bathrooms at my kids' school in Fairfax County. Same goes for my nephew's school in Loudoun County.

And I honestly think the schools have turned a blind eye to the issue.

Kids know the consequences. I would be livid. [/quote]

We haven’t turned a blind eye. But vaping is PERVASIVE. Nearly every kid has a nic. We would operate more like a juvenile detention than a school if we had to address every GD vape. Basically at this point only the marijuana cartridges are the focus although if a kid is dumb enough to drop their vape or charge it in class yeah they’ll get written up. But seriously, this is a PARENT issue. YOU make sure your kid doesn’t have a vape. We cannot police 1600 kids with vapes and get anything else done. [/quote]

I know it was big around 2017-2018, but it seemed to have gone out of style a few years later. [/quote]

It seemed to and then it came back over the pandemic when they were… at home with their parents. Now it’s worse than ever. And look, I am NOT the person who blames all teenage behavior we deal with at school on parents. But vaping is 100% in the territory of what parents need to be dealing with. Search their bags, rooms, you can smell it for God’s sake. Don’t send them to us so they can sit in our class bleary eyed or obsessively ask to use the bathroom and stay gone for 15-20-25 minutes vaping with their friends. They can barely go 10 minutes at school without hitting the nic so there’s no way you’re not in some way seeing that at home if you’re paying attention to them at all. [/quote]
