[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids ODed all the time in my school in the 80s.  But they didn’t tell all the parents!  We only knew because we’d see the ambulances.  [/quote]

+1. The electives hallway bathroom in my suburban public school in the 90s was an open air drug market, but oh noooo, kids these days!!! Clutch your pearls harder!!![/quote]

Where did y'all go to school at? Mogadishu?   There were never open drug markets and bathrooms turned into drug dens when I was in high school. [/quote]

Lol right?! Especially in MCPS? I never heard of it.

What was considered to be a “bad school” back in the ‘90s was one where kids fought a lot, skipped class or smoked cigarettes, but definitely not an open air drug market![/quote]

Yes, it's a real challenge to have an "open air drug market" inside a building with few or no windows.[/quote]

DP here. 1992 MCPS graduate and you have got to be kidding me if you think that smoking weed wasn't prevalent back then; and yes, kids did sell drugs but it was not an open-air market.[/quote]

And there's no open air market at schools today either. Kids are still doing it in secret. If there is an open air market, it's due to the county residents ill-informed decision to vote for legalizing weed.

PP - yes, my comment was just about the "open air drug market" cliche, which, probably not coincidentally, also has racist overtones.[/quote][/quote]
