"As many as half of our kids are doing this," says Reynolds.

Sounds like a pretty low estimate to me.

[Newby]

Why the fuck would it matter if I drank on the weekend if I am not drinking at school?

This is flat out stupid.

[Joe]

It's more for if you get smashed before school. Alcohol is out of your system, even if you're hung over, right? You're not impared by the alcohol, you're impaired by the fact that you're throwing up and feeling dead.

[CrAz3D]

sound pretty unconstitutional to me.

if homosexual sodomy/sodomy in general is legal (in some instances) then this ought to be too.  what if your parents gave you something to drink???...thats completely legal.

stupid socialist stateism!

Because it's illegal, I imagine.

Not really.


They should probably crack down on all of the drugs being taken before/during school before they worry about the alcohol problem. And I wholeheartedly agree with iago's first statement, that's 30% - 40% too low, as far as my observations have been.

lol, nonconsentually sticking an object up someone's bumhole isn't legal.

It might depend on what state you live in, but at least here it is legal for a parent to let their kid drink, within certain limitations of course (with the child's safety in mind). I'm sure it's taken on a case by case basis, but you can give your kid a glass of wine or a beer, or even a few, but if you're letting the kid get plastered every night and the state finds out DSS is probably going to be on your ass.

state to state, yeah.

So is pirating movies. Are they gonna come search my hard-drive for pirated movies and suspend me for each one?

That's not a bad idea.

[Newby]

That's a terrible idea. What I pirate at home does not influence my school career very much whatsoever. I'd rather be kicked out of school because the MPAA catches me, then have them catch me and kick me out as motivation to prevent the former example from occurring.

[Joe]

Get a grip Newby, seriously. Coming to school drunk and pirating movies have NOTHING in common.

Where does it say that?

Big Brother has arrived at a high school in New Jersey. Determined to stop their students consuming alcohol at weekends, staff at Pequannock Township High School in Morris county are to start using a controversial test that can detect if students have been drinking up to a week earlier.

Get a grip joe, seriously. RTFA next time.
