Drugs in school and how it was found ?!

A new study conducted at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research has found that random drug testing in schools – something 28% of American students are subject to – increases the usage rates of hard drugs for students between the ages of 11 and 18. The study found that the testing did decrease marijuana usage, but this is likely because students realize that marijuana lingers in the body for days, sometimes weeks, whereas most harder drugs metabolize much quicker.

This is an excellent example of random drug testing being a failed experiment (not to mention a constitutional disaster) – marijuana is much safer than the hard drugs the students are being pushed towards – “hard drugs” being substances like heroin, cocaine and alcohol.

“I think school leaders should realise that drug testing does not have a simple association with student drug use,” stated Yvonne Terry-McElrath, researcher at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, who is one of the authors of the study.

She continues, “It is clear that drug testing is not providing the solution for substance-use prevention that its advocates claim.”

Village schools in Hungary

According to the president of the Association of Hungarian Villages, Gellert Szabo, it remains to be seen whether village schools in Hungary can operate securely under the administration of the national government.

60 percent of Hungary’s 2800 villages have elementary schools, three-quarters of which offer grades 1 through 8 (the rest only go up to grade 7). Over 1,000 villages (40 per cent) do not have schools.

By law villages with at least eight children must have a working kindergarten and elementary school. Classes can be combined in elementary schools but not in high school. Schools with less than 150-200 students are considered “small schools”. In the last academic school year, there were a total of 1,252 schools serving villages with populations of less than 3,000.

Szabo told vg.hu a majority of villages were relieved when the national government took over village schools because it meant they no longer had to deal with school issues or how to finance their operations. Nevertheless, Szabo believes it’s important for the villages to have a role in running schools if they so choose, and believes they could do it for 40-50 percent of the cost.

In 2011 the national government gave four villages HUF 300 million with which to reopen and run village schools.  Since then a number of other municipalities expressed a desire to do the same.

According to the State Secretary for Public Education, Rozsa Hoffman, prior to 2010 over 800 schools were unable to provide students with an adequate education due to low attendance.  One reason for low attendance is that parents often enrol their children in schools in nearby towns or cities.  She says the national government took over the administration and operation of public schools to ensure the future of the schools and to assist in the preservation of Hungary’s villages. She also emphasized that one of the main goals of revamping Hungary’s public education system is to create equal opportunity.

Fidesz MP Zoltan Pokorni, who served as Minister of Education under the first Orban government (1998-2002) and currently chairs the parliamentary committee on public education, once said “the biggest problem with Hungary’s public education system is segregation”.  It is difficult to convince middle class parents to keep their children in small village schools. Many parents even change their children’s address to make it possible for them to attend larger schools in nearby towns or cities.  “Within one or two years the government will realize that HUF 150-160 billion (USD 700 million) in additional funds should be appropriated for developing rural school,” says Pokorni.  ”At present we cannot burden well-functioning schools by diverting these funds away from them.”

Drugs In Schools ?!

The school of the Ashram College Alphen aan den Rijn may have to hit their head. If a teacher is not looking during a drug test two vials of cocaine stolen from the trunk of the Public Health Service. Reason for the body to be abolished.
The drug officer was Thursday morning for the class 4vwo'ers with a briefcase containing the "materials" . When he opened the briefcase , the cocaine was gone. Two shiny tubes containing 1 to 2 grams of coke each.

Questioned
It must have been stolen , with the changing of the guard thinks GGD spokesman Harry van Nierop. "It's probably snatched behind his back when another group left the room."

The teachers broke into a sweat. The hundreds of potential offenders - fourth grade VWO students - were isolated directly questioned in groups and later on . When the toilets were teachers to post. "To check that students would not stay too long on the toilet" explains director Tilly van Wijk out. She sighs. Precisely in front of the open days where new students are recruited, is her school in the spotlight. Worse pr can not imagine. "We just do a lot of safety at school, " she stressed repeatedly.

Drugs Case
She is especially concerned for the health of the students. In a letter to parents, the school warns that use of the drug can lead to fatalities. The police are now leading the investigation.

The drug case is now no longer on the threshold, she said decidedly. "Maybe we should ask what the point is of showing genuine drugs in class, our earlier but it was for 20 years a part of the curriculum of the Public Health Service, and never before has such a thing happened." The real drugs were designed according to the Public Health Service to make the lesson more appealing but the briefcase might be abolished now.

Taste
Dylan fourth- Schutte ( 16 ) gets his eyebrows. " Whether it 's coke or washing powder . It is both white and there is little to see. They let you do not taste it, "he argues. Classmate Bob de Jong ( 17 ) argues for shocking images of drug addicts. "That makes a lot more impressive than a tube with powder." Bob chuckles. "You also requires quite a bit to get through genuine drugs. Difficulties in school Some students will find it cool to have this. ' Hands Among the students, the incident in any case, the joke of the year. Laughing, they have the name on the facade corrupted into Hashram.
