well I am a sophomore in high school and i clearly remember identa kid, jsut to identify the kid or some shit. anyway onto what i was really going to comment on was the drug testing because i go to a private high school and we get random hair drug tests and it really fucking sucks because you can get tested as many times as your name gets picked. now mind you i got tested on january 18th so i've been smoking since. if i got tested again it would really fuck my shit up, but i agree with you on the fact that the school shouldn't be nosying around in other peoples shit even when its weed or drug related because its not between the kid and the school its a personal issue. why they do it i have no idea i guess just as an added bonus to appease parents i suppose, bullshit either way you look at it. a definate pain in the ass having to abstain from smoking for fucking half the year until you get tested, and even then its still a crapshoot because you could get tested again at any time.
p.s. it seems to me that homeschooled kids are kinda weird in a way since my stepdad told me about this boy who was homeschooled all his life and then went to my school(all boys christian school) and got fucked with really badly. it seems like if they just dont have interactions with kids a majority of their school career that jumping straight into a high school atmosphere is like a kick in the nuts, especially one like mine because at my school everyone fucks with eachother. Its just a school full of assholes.anyhow thats just my two cents from a teenager's perspective
