Random Student Drug Tests: I'll homeschool if I have to

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

No way will I let a school randomly drug test my kids. If my kids are doing anything, I will be the one to handle it, not some nubby fucknut with power issues. I also don't let them fingerprint my kids. About twice a year, they send these little Ident A Kits home, for us to give them permission to fingerprint the kids, supposedly for their own safety. BULLSHIT. It's just a way of tagging your kids and getting them in the system, so when they get popped for smoking a little bud later in life, they've already got their prints on file. Enough of that rant. Read this.

Just to toss this out there- I am 23 now and I remember when I signed up in kindergarted (honestly, I remember it like it was yesterday), they took our prints. That was around 18 years ago I believe. Of course I didn't think much of it then and still didn't until a few months ago.

And I didn't know that when students or kids had to test, they were visually supervised.

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

man that really sucks...i would definetly change schools

America needs more parents like you.

I went to homeschool because I was sick and tired of school adminstators taking control of my life.

I seriously got my phone taken away and a Saturday school(where you have to go to schol on staurday 8:00-12:00) for being on my pohne in the quad 10 seconds before the bell rang.

saturday schools are actually fun at my school during football games because all you do is clean up and when you're done you can leave. oh and the dean hands out free donuts at the beginning and soft drinks at the end. and if we get our cell phones taken up its a 10 dollar fine to get it back

Thanks for your perspective d00d. I haven't been a teenager for many years now, so I like to get the opinion of those who are.
My girls are 8 and 5, my sons are 11 and 9. We already busted my oldest boy smoking cigs. We didn't say much about it. Basically, I told him the health issues (His father and I both smoke cigs), and told him not to steal out of my pack, just to ask. He's too embarrassed to ask so far.

As for the social aspects of homeschooling, my kids are in public school, and are very well adjusted socially. They're all popular and get good grades. So even if I had to homeschool, I think they would do fine if later they went back to public school. I know what you're getting at though. Some homeschooled kids are just weird, and it's their parent's fault.

Wow. I'm pretty sure my kids haven't been fingerprinted. Maybe I should ask them.

I think the schools need to leave parenting to parents, and stick to what my tax dollars pay for.

They send home school work that they want the parents to participate in, and then they want to turn around and do the parent's job of moral training. I wish they'd just teach my kid math, and let me worry about a little bud.

Yes, I agree. Drug testing in schools is complete bullshit. They are teachers, not our parents, so they should teach. It seems half the time they're teaching, and the other half they're trying to figure out what they do in their free time.

I am against any drug testing, but I hear most of the testing is done when they want to enter a sports team, which again, is bullshit. If they can play, then they can play. What's in their urine shouldn't matter.

We never had drug testing in my day, then again I started in Holland but then moved to Canada. If anyone in my school told me to piss in a cup, I'd tell them to fuck right off.

They are teachers, so they should teach and teach only. Leave the parenting to the parents.
