[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Arlington County, a student OD'd and sadly passed away at one of the high schools a few months ths ago. There have been at least 2 overdoses in the HS I work at in Fairfax this year. They do not publicize it even to the staff. I found out through students talking in my classes.

OMG. It’s like the kid never existed. Awful.[/quote]
I’m sure the school pressures the family to keep quiet. Despicable.[/quote]

Ok, have any other conspiracy theories to share?[/quote]

If a child were injured by a gun or knife in the school, we would hear about it.

This is just as serious and parents should know--how else will they be aware of the problem?

So-called student offenders have rights too you know.

Including the right to privacy.[/quote]
Liar. Criminals do not have a right to keep their crimes private. That’s why the whole world heard about the six year old American kid who shot his teacher.[/quote]

But these kids are (in the moment) harming only themselves. They haven’t been caught distributing it or on their possession before taking it. [/quote]

It doesn't matter.  Parents need to know there is a problem.  They don't need to know every last detail, but they do need to know that drugs are happening.  If they don't know, they think everything is perfect.[/quote]

Bingo. Fentanyl or Adderall ... there are problems that *might* be headed off if parents knew the possibility were closer than they think. Until there is communication parents can continue under the illusion that these talks about drugs pertain to other schools not theirs. Look at this thread. Someone implied that these things only happen at majority minority low income schools. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.[/quote]
