[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school students have more money so there are usually a lot of drugs.

As a former private school lifer OP, this is not surprising to me. I was a poor scholarship nerd, so wasn't offered free drugs. I would not send my kids to most private high schools for this reason alone. [/quote]

You obviously have not spent time at our public high school.[/quote]

The publics are in crisis near us.  Teachers fleeing and crime and violence and drug use in school up.  My kids (Jr and Freshmen) haven't experienced any of this at their private Catholic high school.  In fact, it was a big reason we moved them out of public school after 8th grade.  Obviously, it will vary where you live.[/quote]

There was an overdose at my daughter's Catholic high school just a few weeks ago. Drugs are everywhere.[/quote]

Oh no--what school? So sorry that the chlld/children experienced this :(.  By "at school" I'm guessing you mean, in the school community. Not actually at the schools physical plant.[/quote]

No, it was in the school. Ambulance had to come in the middle of the school day. Diocese of Arlington Catholic high school but my point is that no school community is immune from drugs, as much as we would like to think we're keeping our kids away from it by carefully selecting the school.

Wow, that's terrible. And poor kid . Sounds like the schools need to offer more education around this, and parents need to up their game too?[/quote]

NP. It was edibles and the student didn’t know, thought it was candy as they were given it by another student (who was later expelled as they brought edibles to school). Tell your kids not to take anything from anyone, as anything can be laced or harmful.[/quote]
