[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the haters.

A public school system with limited enforcement capabilities just cannot deal with drugs. All they can do, and they do it very well, is INFORM, both parents and students.

I am satisfied with this response. Already I feel they've gone above and beyond. Public schools cannot strip search every single student daily. Pills are tiny and don't show up on metal detectors![/quote]

+1. The school is providing education and information to both students and parents.  They are warning people of the dangers because sometimes(a lot of times) being informed repeatedly helps to engage the consciousness of a person(this is why we teach kids healthy habits).  Also by informing parents and the community, parents will hopefully have more and meaningful conversation with the kids.  The community will hopefully be in the lookout for things that could indicate drug use and or people selling to kids. MCPS is not going to be able to get drugs off the streets nor are they going to do a full on search of every kid every school day, nor are they going to monitor kids outside of school.  What more does anyone expect them to do?[/quote]
