[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STA is "an intimate community that thrives on close relationships between faculty and students."

This statement comports with my observations.  Of course, just as prior posters have acknowledged, even in the intimate setting of a family and despite the rather close relationships between parents and children, sometimes a parent may not be aware of a child's drug use.  So I don't hold schools to a higher standard than my own family and assume they will always know something even if I don't (and keeping my fingers crossed I am speaking hypothetically so far as my own family is concerned!).[/quote]

Some of the expelled students were routinely on drugs (pot, etc) during the school & practice day.  Noticeably high, according to some of the stories coming from both my daughter and her STA friends, the school for some reason did nothing.  The classmates-brothers said nothing.  I suppose their teachers and coaches just  ignored their suspicions for fear of getting sued.

Intimate setting, I guess so.  There are roughly 14-18 boys in a classroom, and 77-80 in a graduating class so I would think that they know each others behavior/quirks rather well as would teacher-coaches.  [/quote]
