...if it even happened, perhaps, pp. But who is to say it did? Honestly, Basis is a small enough community with parents that are hyper-aware of any hiccup that goes on there, for better or worst-if something like this were to happen, it would be on the boosters list before day's end. Also, with the narrow hallways, cameras and strict rules on campus, I would imagine that anything of this sort done by upper schoolers would happen off campus-the upper school students have permission to leave campus during the school day. All in all, it is pretty obvious this is a troll or parent of a very imaginitive kid.

I don't think BASIS is doing anything wrong here; in fact, I think they are doing the right thing (says someone with no involvement in BASIS whatsoever.)

A couple years ago a student had brought a toy gun and another studemt a Swiss Army Knife in my child's elementary school. Both students was suspended for 2 days and admin sent us a note home explaining each incident, without giving any names.
By the same token, BASIS should have had some kind of communication with the parents.

BASIS has a pot dealer?

No, BASIS kids just smoke it, they actually get their weed from the Stuart Hobson crew. But the BASIS kids do build the most amazing bongs you have ever seen - that's their strength.

Sounds like a fresh new fundraising opportunity

Basis Bongs! Engineered to soar!

I am the person whosaid a few days ago that my daughter told me the 4th floor bathroom was closed because of graffiti-the person who mentioned the weed incident never said anything but that it was the 8th and 9th graders, and the 4th floor is for the 6th graders.

Not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe this generation will not be as high-strung as we were.

Maybe that's how they go caught.

Funniest posts ever! If you think that smoke detectors are used to detect cigarette or marijuana smoke, perhaps you need to go back to high school for some learning.

I guess the smoke detectors in bathrooms on airplanes serve another purpose?

The smoke detectors in bathrooms on airplanes are highly sensitive and can detect cigarette smoke. That is their sole purpose.

People smoke in their homes all the time. Do you think smoke detectors are going off in the homes of smokers all the time? No.

I don't smoke, but the smoke detector by my kitchen goes off if I overcook bacon.

Household smoke detectors are installed in large spaces where a modest amount of cigarette smoke would dissipate before reaching levels that would trigger the smoke detector. I think if you installed a household smoke detector in your bathroom, closed the door, and started smoking, you would eventually set it off.

We used to have a smoking area for students at our highschool in the 70s through late 80s.

That woild take csre of smoking in the bathrooms

If they're not learning to put a piece of masking tape over the smoke detector before lighting up it makes me wonder if they're learning anything at all.

They had to cut something from the curriculum to make room for all that math.
