[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster above who shared the story about her or his child, thank you so much.  You are a strong parent and a caring individual.

I also feel that I have to apologize to you for heating on your nerves.  I am the poster asking people to please name every private school where this is an issue.  Why?  Because every private school parent I have ever spoken to about hard drugs appears to think they are not an issue at their schools.  We can continue to bury our heads in the sand of denial, or we can admit oh snap it apparently is an issue at FILL IN THE BLANK and start working on the problem.

But we unfortunately need to name the schools in order to start the process of admitting to ourselves that there is an issue with hard drugs and confronting the issue with parent pressure on the schools and cold hard strategies with the students.  One brave poster mentioned Sidwell, but they are not alone, and we need to name the other Schools as well.

[b]Three years ago I took every opioid and other prescription medication in the house, disolved them in boiling water (with the vent on), and poured the pot onto a gravel surface that borders my driveway.  Robitussen or any medication with DXM was emptied down the drain,[/b] and is purchased strictly on an as-needed basis, and kept only in my bathroom medicine cabinet.  Since I am the parent, I periodically search my children's schoolbags or bedrooms while they are out of the house.  If I find anything questionable like a lighter or cigarettes, it goes in the trash.  Sometimes I bring it up with them (hey, I found cigarettes or cough suppressants ), and other times I don't bother (lighter).  I have discussed repeatedly, at length, and many times with all of my children my zero-tolerance drug policy.  No marijuana, and certainly nothing else.[/quote]

You do know this goes into our water systems and drinking water.  How idiotic.  You could have contacted a local agency to find out how to safely dispose of drugs.  I sure hope you don't live in my town.  You will be the parent who thinks they know it all and their kid is sneaking drugs in the house or at their friends homes.  Believe your home police state is a joke.[/quote]
