[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't about FFX, so let's not derail.  This is about a privileged area with drug (just like they have in FFX and PW and Bethesda, etc) and the parents who refuse to believe it could be an issue and the parents who say it's as big as Portland.  Somewhere in the middle lies the truth, but [b]the scarier parents are the ones who keep going back to "prove" there is no problem.[/b]  [/quote]

+1  It's appalling to me that parents are trying to argue that it's not a problem because they don't have whatever specific data they think they need for it to officially be classified as a "problem".  IMO, if the police department and school principals think it is a big problem then it IS a big problem.  They should be the ones to know.  They certainly don't have any incentive to over-emphasize a drug problem in the schools.

Certainly, addressing it holistically through treatment, stress reduction, etc. is important but if sending in the dogs to find it in the school helps deter kids from bringing it on campus or helps find kids who are using and need help, then that's a valuable piece of the process.[/quote]

Yes.  APS is known for hiding anything that makes them look bad.

The fact they finally had to go public with this certainly means it's big.  Though somebody clearly hasn't given the WMS principal the memo.  She obviously wants to hang onto her job---so deny, deny, deny.[/quote]
