[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was talking to teacher today who said that weed is a real problem in the school. It’s obvious many kids “wake and bake”. It’s for sale everywhere around the school. I’ve also seen kids in tenley who are obviously high. I’m concerned for my kids and what this is doing to this generation of kids.  What were we thinking by legalizing marijuana?[/quote]

Are you an actual Wilson parent and did you talk to an actual Wilson teacher or are you a troll?

Marijuana was widely available when I was in High School 30 years ago and lots of people used it so I'm skeptical there is a big change - I have a 9th grader at Wilson and in discussing this with other parents most of us agree that in our UMC demographic there is way less pot smoking (and drinking) going on than when we were in high school.  Or maybe our kids are somehow hiding it better but I'm skeptical.

In any case please let us know where it is for sale all around the school -the way this post is written I suspect it was written by a private school parent from MD freaked out by what they see out the window of their Lexus when they drive through to and from dropping their kid at GDS or SFS or StA - I walk with my ES student through Tenley twice a day and don't ever recall smelling marijuana - my biggest concern is all the littering from people eating at Chic-fil-a.[/quote]

I am a Wilson parent. And yes, it different than when we were in high school.  Kids wake and bake in Fort Reno. You can smell weed in the halls of school on kids coats and sometimes from bathrooms. Weed is sold everywhere— inside and outside the school. In Panera Bread. Parking lot Whole Foods. Kids hide in parking garages and in fort Reno and then they walk around the neighborhood. The vestibule by the security check has an overwhelming smell of weed in the morning. If you don’t have a teen in this environment you have no insight into how  its effecting  teens today.

I’m writing this to make people aware that it’s a serious problem and getting worse. [/quote]
