[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say something for AEM: At least those people put their names behind what they say rather than us cowards in the DCUM ghetto.[/quote]

I do both. However, I will only call you a bitch here.[/quote]

I'm on both too - and have been called a bitch there - must have been you:)

But seriously, most of the people on AEM seem to have an agenda on this topic that shifts almost all responsibility to APS while at the same time not wanting APS to enforce the law.  Let's just change what those letters stand for - Arlington Public Social workers.[/quote]

Naw I think most of those people clamoring for the drug dogs are more of your run-of-the-mill law and order types.  I wouldn't read that like you are that they're interested in abdicating parental responsibility to the school. At least that's my take.

I do find it interesting that evidently this was initiated by ACPD, not the school itself. At least that claim was made today.[/quote]

Dude. Please try that again. This time with punctuation. [/quote]

Fine.

1) A pp seemed to suggest a lot of people cheering the drug dogs are really just absentee parents who think APS should stand for "Arlington Public Social workers." I said I don't think that's the case -- that they seem to be more reactionary law and order types. I'm sure they're good parents.

2) Separately, it was posted today that this is happening at the request of the POLICE DEPARTMENT. [b]The schools did not initiated it [/b]and apparently the School Board didn't even know.[/quote]

They did not initiate it but they did approve it and I don't think it's unreasonable to believe the school administration knows a whole lot more than parents do about the drug problems in their schools.  A lot of the AEM comments come off as parents trying their hardest to believe that the drug problem can't be that bad.  I have no reason to distrust the police department and school administration judgement that it is a problem.  Are dogs the right step now, I don't know but I'm willing to go with them knowing more than I do.  I'd like to hear more from the district about next steps and, now that they have parents' attention, more education as to how the district handles drug/alcohol issues.[/quote]
