On March 1, we had to turn away over 100 students. We promised them we would arrange another testing, and we are keeping that promise.

Blood testing has been their cash cow.

I don't have a problem with testing per se. We have to have some measure of how students are doing and how we as teachers are doing.

Will this be in the examination, Mr Hecker?" was the limit of my students' interest in any given subject. If it was going to be in the test they took notes, if it was not going to be in the test they did not take notes. Their silent, depthless stares were unnerving. I told myself that they were not stupid - for how could the final attainment of thousands of years of human progress be stupid?

The purpose of random testing is not to catch, punish, or expose students who use drugs, but to save their lives and discover abuse problems early so that students can grow up and learn in a drug-free environment.

When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time.
