I think they're posting from an alternative reality using alternative facts.[/quote]

What are the alternative facts?  The fact is that drug use at school is a huge problem in MCPS.  Why is that?  What can we do about drug use at school, even in kids as young as 5th grade?[/quote]

Yes, it's a problem everywhere but not exclusive to MCPS. It's a bigger problem for society at large. At our school I guess there are some kids who are into this but that's not really a school problem. It has more to do with their values and family life which we can't legislate.[/quote]

Oh, so it's only kids whose 'family life' is problematic who smoke weed at school?  LOL.  Not a chance.  Plenty of kids from 'good families' are smoking weed illegally at my kids' high school.  Don't delude yourself that drugs won't affect your kid.  It is a pervasive problem that can unfortunately families from all SES/religions/races have to deal with.  [/quote]
How do you know if they are "good families" or not? You don't know what goes behind closed doors.

How do you even define "good family"? Is it that they are educated, white, UMC? I can think of plenty of educated, white, UMC families in my neighborhood - who do the good stuff of providing for their kids, blah blah blah - but they are terrible role models. They are the parents who still get drunk at neighborhood parties and other events. They are the moms who love their wine a bit too much. Those kids see their parents using alcohol and who knows what else. That is the biggest influence. Still consider them good parents?[/quote]

Oh, I agree.  Kids from all walks of life are smoking weed AT school.  And doing even harder drugs.

That’s why I think the posters who comment that it’s the ‘other’ kids doing drugs are misguided.  It’s a problem that kids are doing drugs AT school.  Whether it’s your kids or my kids or someone else’s kids.

Ubiquitous drug usage at school is not good for anyone.  [/quote]
