Re: NJ high school to test teens for alcohol consumption
[ QUOTE ]
I'm all for the schools cracking down on drugs and alcohol use, but this seems a little too invasive to me.
I'd rather see the school buy a drug sniffing dog and randomly search lockers every day.

I'm considerably younger than you at 21, but I disagree. I've seen the drug dogs implemented and it effectively stops operations for the time that the dogs are being used. At my school this was done once every few months and as a precaution no students were allowed in the halls while the dogs were in the school. The inevitable barking got kids out of their seats and watching what was going on instead of doing work.
While I think there are some definite benefits to school crackdowns on these issues, I think in practice they do more harm than good.
