[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For folks who don't think kids are vaping in class at your school. You don't understand how vapes work.
The "smoke" is odorless. If a teacher turns to the blackboard, or looks down at a book or computer,  - - even if there is just one kid in the room - kids will vape. Vaping in class has become a competition.

But if your kids are not vaping in class, they probably also are not texting in class either, so you have nothing to worry about.

Sorry your kid is in a school that has this problem.  Kids don't vape at DS's high school.  I posted earlier.  It was a problem last year, but they REALLY cracked down and it isn't an issue on campus anymore.  You will see them off campus doing it or in the parking lot, but not in the bathrooms or in class.  And yes, my DS does text while in class.[/quote]

You lose all credibility when you claim to know things that you can’t know.[/quote]

I know because my son told me.  Why would he make that up?[/quote]

I’m not saying that he is making things up.  I’m saying that although he, and you, may think that there is no vaping going on, there may very well be vaping going on.  “Kids don’t vape at DS’s high school” is a really naive statement.[/quote]

Well of course there is no way to know for sure, but I can tell you there is not a problem anymore to the degree of what was happening a year ago.  My son has not witnessed any vaping in his school this year, period.  In other words, the school staff dealt with it, which is more than what seems to be happening at our public schools and some privates.  If the problem is rampant at these schools, why aren't there serious consequences?  And I'm not talking about a simple detention.  I'm talking about suspension or even expulsion for repeat offenders.  That would get them thinking before they break out their device next time.[/quote]

You are clueless.  Like shockingly so.  Name your school if you are so convinced.[/quote]

OK, I'm not going to name the school, because it really doesn't matter.  What you clearly don't get is that I said in an earlier post that there was a significant vaping problem at this particular school last year.  The problem has decreased to a significantly lower level because as I said before, my son has not seen any vaping happening in the school's restrooms, courtyards, or classrooms.  That's not to say it isn't happening in the parking lots or right outside the campus.  It just proves that the school has handled the problem appropriately because the kids no longer do it on school grounds...or if they do, it is at a significantly lower level than last year.  Why would I be clueless to believe this?

Also I believe my son has never tried it because he has no interest in it and doesn't associate with the type of kid that vapes (the lax bros).  Oh, and he doesn't drink alcohol either.  Go ahead, tell me I am naive.  Just because your kid is delinquent doesn't mean mine and everyone else's is.[/quote]
