[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Whitman grad from early 2000’s. Kids from W have been doing drugs since as long as I can remember. We used to access it from friend’s parents (hidden in their closets) and bring to school, during open lunches, parties, etc. In hindsight, the school did what they could to educate and prevent, but when kids can party at home or parents don’t bother to discipline when it goes missing, then it really is on the parents for not parenting. Too much money and power means kids think they are invincible. [/quote]

You’re letting the school and school system off the hook way too easily.

You say they educated and tried to prevent, but I don’t see where they tried to disrupt the behavior or intervene once they are aware of it.

How exactly do you expect teachers or admin to disrupt these behaviors? Someone that drunk drove and killed someone (SS) but he was under 18-
still went to college. Kids arrested for under age parties but showed up to school on Monday. In school suspensions were overridden by parents that lawyered up. Kids got caught at parties and records were wiped. The list goes on. I partied and was an entitled douche like the rest of them, but left the bubble and now have kids of my own and realize how the sheltered privileged lives of so many stunts and creates the next generation of entitled, selfish people. Of course there were so many kind and successful kids that went on and did good for the world, but Whitman parents have way more power than the school itself, so as much as a staff might want to disrupt, empower, and educate, there is so little they can do- especially outside of regular school hours.  Blame the system. NOT teachers who work tirelessly to help educate and give kids global views. [/quote]
