Do they really pee test teachers?

by no name for this

May 18, 2008

/blockquote>

I was looking on line at different school districts. Do
Zachary, Central, and/or Lafayette districts really
require teachers to pass a pee test before they are
hired? This sounds crazy. Do they watch these educators
pee in a cup?

johnv Now Bob, who pi&&ed in which cup? Just kidding. Come on guy & gals, lighten up, it's summer. Lets not get angry or too critical of each other. Educators should be supportive of each other and not hyper-critical. Shame on you Bob. And shame on you Lisa for letting Bob get to you!

To RSDteach Are you from Rockwood? If so, I would really like to chat with you on this subject. I have approached my child's counselor with specific information (i.e., dealer names, phone numbers, copies of text messages) and offered to go forward to the principal, but was told to keep my mouth shut unless I was prepared "to storm the school" with a police officer, a group of parents and an alderman--all of whom are firmly in my camp). Unbelievable!!! Our school is saturated with drugs and it would seem that it is far more important to protect the reputation of the school and property values!
