Brickbat: Standardized Testing


In Indiana, Zionsville High School will now require all students who take part in extracurricular activities or who park their vehicles at school to submit to random drug testing. Students who fail a drug test will be required to complete drug counseling.

Test this, slaver.
I hardly recognized you Joe Biden.
Brickbat: wants your children addicted to drugs.
DARE to keep kids off Ritalin.

DAMM!
Drunks against mad mothers.
OT:
Funny blurb at Climate Depot about possible new EPA head.
'Trump listened to what Gore had to say at their New York City meeting and then he exercised his good judgement and did the exact opposite.'
IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY SHOULD BE TESTING STUDENTS FOR VENDING MACHINE JUNK FOOD.
that's next prog...
Because no teenager has never done a stupid thing without the influence of drugs.
Asparagus and NyQuil was my protest for announced tests in the Army. I heard of others but can't recall the details.
hooked on asparagus? got a vegetable on your back?
I've been addicted since I was a child. I blame my parents for eating large quantities in front of me. I need the government to protect me by making asparagus available by prescription only.
I learned from watching you, Dad !
Nice!
Hey, Rat, did you think of adding beets to the mix? That's generally shocking to the uninitiated.
It can be pretty shocking to the person who ate them too, when your morning dump comes out all red and it takes you a minute to remember that you had beets last night.
I wish I had.
What does NyQuil do to your pee?
I am enzyme deficient. I metabolize some chemicals at a slower rate which results in elevated excretion in urine. There is something in NyQuil that adds a medicine smell to my pee.
not too many people smell their own piss...just sayin.
If it smells at all strongly, the do.
Even if you buy into the war on drugs BS, policies like this seem pretty stupid. All they are going to do is discourage the druggies from participating in activities and sports. Seems to me (again, assuming you buy the idea that afterschool activities are good for keeping people engaged and out of trouble) that these are exactly the people you want to encourage to participate.
But I guess "Drugz R bad" trumps all.
pretty sure the "druggies' weren't all that tuned into activities and sports to begin with...
I wouldn't be so sure. No, probably not the real druggies. But by my senior year of HS, a lot of the jocks, most of the drama queers and many others not fitting the typical "druggie" mold were fairly frequent weed smokers and drinkers.
Hell, I used to build lots of sets for drama/theater stuff and I had a helper whose main job was to go find me some weed.
This was the early to mid 90s, which was a good time for teenage recreational drug use. But I doubt people have changed that much.
For the first time driving to high school will be uncool. The bus is back baby!
