Not only from strangers, but the people you even TRUST, and actually know.

You have no idea what they can do.

with the "loco parenti" thing, i think i would argue that the parents ought to just give the drug test themselves. it's kindof an odd service for the school to be performing... it's not really something you would let a babysitter do for your child.

maybe it's really expensive or something... or maybe it would just be a way of getting someone else to do the dirty work-- like sexed.

There's no way drug testing should be allowed in school; its far too expensive and discriminating. The only way drug testing would be allowed is if every student had one. Unless if your school has over $1 billion for its budget, this would be impossible.

Then again I live in Canada, you get arrested if you don't have a joint with you. Seriously, drug tests in schools are just wrong, its interrupting a person's privacy and other rights. However, if the student is doing drugs in the school and the signs are more the obvious, the person should be taken care of (only if the signs are there, if someone looks a bit intoxicated you can't pester them because that would be discrimination if they weren't doing drugs).
