well, it is Texas, isn't it?

its a big state...70% of the oil refineries are in texas city

Should we authorize the schools to do drug testing to eliminate this from happening?

In order for this kid to be that out of it there would have to be a health problem of some kind but schools are limited in the medical testing they can do and/or access to medical records which may be why they had to go on the superficial determination.

i don't really agree with that either, but it is better than just picking people out and saying your high, suspended for a month... that just sounds so hitlerish to me

r u kidding me...call the parent...she was sick. Schools need to stick to teaching...the nurse should only be there to treat emergercies or call 911 or until students are handed over to parents... Schools testing sick children...what a joke...

School power is getting ridiculous.

A family member's child missed 9 days of high school for being sick and did not get credit for a whole semester work even though he made up all the work and passed EOC's. One doctors note didn't get turned in...policy is that if a student misses over 8 days all notes must be turned in within 48 hrs. To get the credits the school insisted
the student go through some lenghty after school program. The mom told em where to go and the student is better off being home schooled.

Schools gone wild...no logic involved.
