[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents with sons attending STA's upper school, how bad is the drug and alcohol use culture?  Is the school addressing or providing counseling to boys with apparent addictions?  A few years ago several boys were immediately expelled after being caught using drugs. Is this the school's drug prevention program?  Is there real support for the boys when an intervention is needed to help a friend or does the culture support looking the other way because of its zero-tolerance policy?

Please don't tell me to go ask admin.   [/quote]

Let's face it, we don't have any idea what percentage of kids at local schools are using alcohol or other drugs. Kids can't be sure what those outside their immediate social group are doing. Everybody as an anecdote. Or two. Or three. Nobody has real data. The recurrent speculation on this site and irl about which kids do the most drinking and/or partying is never going to be productive.

Your other questions can be answered, but not the first one. [/quote]
