Drug-Testing in Schools

[ankitgokani]

Should school students face mandatory drug-tests?

I don't feel so.This will be painful for the students.Moreover,without the knowledge of the parents the students can't indulge in drug addiction.So I would this is not required atleast now.

No, I dont think it is needed in indian schools at present. The percentage of student using drugs is very low & if the test is carried than the interest in knowing & temptation to use drugs will increase in students

school over here means in the overall context as in including the college students also still u will have the same opinion abt this??????????????deepakraam n naresh

Well, if this also includes the college,still I would say you can't go ahead and test the college students.Probably incase of college the possiblity of drug addiction is more so awareness campaign can be made.Billboards and stickers @<hidden> strategic places can be placed to educate the students about the harmfulness of drugs.If caught the students must be severely punished so that ppl seeing him/her will never ever do such an act.
