I played a lot of sports throughout my schooling career and i never even thought about drug testing, but had it been something that came up i think i would have felt like the coaches/teachers had no trust for us players. I believe that school is for everyone and the sprts should be too. I think that as teachers we are providing a service, and if we drug test that will single people out and will possibly make them feel like our service wants to exclude them. Drugs are a problem in schools today, but I don't think that we need to exclude students who have that problem. I believe we just need to offer support and ways for them to confidentially kick thier addiction.chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353228635084985845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-1160961353656497832006-10-15T18:15:00.000-07:002006-10-15T18:15:00.000-07:00I'm not aware of any schools that are testing stud...I'm not aware of any schools that are testing students for drugs who are not also participating in extra-curricular activities. If this is the case, then drug testing is simply a barrier that must be overcome in order to participate in a non-required activity. I like your question of whether students are customers or employees. But I don't think they have to fit neatly into either category for it to be appropriate to randomly give drug tests. <BR/><BR/>Andrew Pass<BR/>http://www.Pass-Ed.com/blogger.htmlAndrew Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467297626934604339noreply@blogger.com
