This item was in local paper. I was recently horrified too hear how many kids are on drugs. A friends son, was telling me that some kids regularly come to school high

The Pincipal mentioned here was selling drugs to kids at school

What a horrid story!

Sadly, many kids come high to school. It is worse in the upper grades.

They don't do that. It is rare to have an under age student arrested.

To stop a 12 year old girl fight on Friday, it took 4 teachers, before the school cop sauntered down to help us. We are lucky if they get suspended.

If we cannot control drugs in schools - what hope do we have anywhere else.

I just cannot bear the thought of my son or daugther being offered drugs. At the school mentioned it was the principal offering the drugs

They arrest kids here if they are found dealing drugs. Drugs and violence here at least in my neck of the woods is totally prohibited. Schools are learning to come down hard on students that play up because parents are now beginning to sue the schools when their kids get hurt.

Luckily, the school where my kids go does not have this problem - I just don't understand how it can happen in any school!!

When I was in high school back in the 80s, my civics teacher was selling drugs. That's where everyone went to get them.
