"Upshot: using "blanket" testing as a way to keep drugs out of schools or deal with the problem of drugs in schools does not appear to be effective, and may be counterproductive.
I would also add that kids are pretty smart, and will figure out ways to "beat the test" just as pro athletes do, by learning when to use so that drugs will be out of their system by the time they are likely to be tested or by switching to drugs not covered by testing or that are less likely to be detected. This just makes testing into a "beat the system" game rather than a prevention tool."

-------------------------------------


Random testing would make it a lot harder to beat the system than planned tests.

Face the facts, a heck of a lot of kids do drugs either regularly, or at least try them. I didn't, nor didn't even try them ever, but my brother did, and x-wife did too as kids.

% wise it's pretty high - just like lots of kids on the weekend are. And no, parents aren't always, nor even usually the ones who are clued in on what is really completely going on.

Personally I'm for random drug testing on students regardless of if they are in a sport, music, or not. Let's add cigarettes to the test too........
