[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am friends with parents whose children attend Burke, Field, GDS, Georgetown Prep, Gonzaga, Holton, Lab, Landon, Madeira, Maret, NCS, Potomac, Sidwell, St. John's, SS&SA, STA, Visitation, and WIS..  I have had discussions about the presence and extent of hard drug use among students in these school communities.  Not one single parent I have asked about this issue believes that hard drugs like opiods, heroin, or meth are being used by the student's in these schools.

We absolutely do need to starting publicly outing these schools, thoigh not the individuals, so that the parents become aware of the issue and bring pressure upon the schools to do something about it.  Please if you know something, say something, fresh air is a great sanitizer.[/quote]

Thank you.  It is also time we started to privately out the student dealers to school faculty and administrators.[/quote]

As a parent with kids at one of these schools (Sidwell), but in the lower grades,[b] I'm surprised and saddened to hear that this doesn't already happen. What are parents so afraid of[/b]? If I was absolutely certain - with proof - that a kid in my DC's school was dealing drugs, I would not think twice about alerting school officials. [/quote]

That Sidwell isn't the be all end all that is always portrayed. When you are spending $41,000 a year for school no parent wants to feel that the place is perfect.[/quote]

Me again. Yes I have kids at Sidwell and yes we are spending that much for their education. But I am under no illusions that the place is anywhere near perfect. I realize that I still have some years to go and [b]may not fully know what I'm talking about when it comes to dealing with high schoolers [/b]and the US there, but I like to think that if I knew without a doubt that a kid at the school was a dealer, I would be informing school officials pronto. If my little Larla suffers socially from that, do be it. She'll live. Another kid may not. [/quote]

you are correct - you have no clue.[/quote]
