Prncipals and teachers should be the authority (es) in schools. Security Guards, or even LEOs should not have the authority to arrest underage kids and take them from school. That is really scary. I hope this never happens in my country. If someone would refer to my child as “respondent” I would be very scared. Prncipals and teachers should be the authority (es) in schools.

]]> Comment on Teachers And Drug Tests – Are They A Match? by sheber http://www.keepschoolssafe.org/teachers-and-drug-tests-%e2%80%93-are-they-a-match/#comment-423 sheber Thu, 10 Jul 2008 04:02:08 +0000 http://www.keepschoolssafe.org/?p=73#comment-423 I think it could be a good idea and an invasion of privacy. But I just read of a school in Arizona who will be conducting drug tests on students, so why not teachers? I am curious to know what other industries require random drug testing. I know truck drivers do for the safety of drivers and the safety of children is certainly no less important. I think it could be a good idea and an invasion of privacy.

I know of one parent who was told by a mid-level adminstrator to "get a thicker skin" about a threat against her 8 yr old son by another classmate. The same school has had students returned to the classroom after assulting teachers. I know all schools aren't that bad, but I really fear for the lower ranked schools.
