I think a school has every right to drug test a student in school. One reason is because chances are if a kid uses drugs, they are doing it in school as well as out of it. And not to mention, school sports are a big reason why schools do drug tests. My school and most of the schools around us test for sterroids and thats it. Not any other kind of drug. So for the sake of athletes and high school sports everywhere, i think that ATLEAST the athletes should be tested.

Furthermore, if there are students using drugs on school premises it is a danger to other students and teachers attending that school. Plus in the case of schools sports if sterroids aren't tested for, then there is a chance that a student has dishonestly won, hence it being unfair for the trustworthy student.

I think this should be left up to the parent to do with their children not the school. The only time a school should be involved is if the child is selling or using in school

Wouldn't you agree that parents have the right to know that their children are attending a drug free school, where their children will not be peer pressured into taking drugs? Also don't the students have the right to safety, and to not be surrounded by other students on drugs? In addition to this, seeing that most students spend their majority of their time at school, isn't it the school's responsibility to recognise, rehabilitate and prevent further drug abuse?
