High School To Collect Students’ Hair For Mandatory Drug Testing

I cant auote from my phone but ot says students will have 90 days to get drug free. What happens after that? Also can parents opt there children out? If it is truely mandatory i dont see how it will withstand the legal challenges.

v=sqrt(G/c)

Now, let's say the fat man weighs three times as much as the thin man. Then gravity acts on the fat man with a force of 3G. I'll be generous and say he has twice the surface area of the thin man (he must be wrinkly!), which means a drag constant of 2c. Call the fat man's terminal velocity u. Then, just as above we can write 2cu^2=3G, or

u=sqrt(3G/2c)

A little algebra reveals

u=sqrt(3/2)sqrt(G/c)

or,

u=sqrt(3/2)*v

Now, remember, u is the terminal velocity of the fat man, v is the terminal velocity of the thin man. We know that sqrt(3/2)>1, so...

The fat man is falling faster!

What the fuck.. I can't post anything around here without doing a fact check first :p




Maybe my school should drug test... cause I'm not even about to try and decipher all those letters and numbers... nah, I'm going to just go get high and go to school.

This doesn't sound so bad. If there are REALLY no legal reprecussions for the students, and it REALLY doesn't affect their chances of getting into college, then why not? Parents and teachers are right to be concerned about drug use among their students. Teenagers shouldn't be taking drugs, not even cannabis.

As someone mentioned above though, it baffles me how a high school can afford all those tests.

It doesn't say what the consequences are if the student doesn't clean up their act though. It just says they have 90 days to do it. I imagine there would be some sort of action taken if they don't get clean in the 90 day period.
 
smfh if i was a taxpayer in that school division you better believe id bitch. id tell the pin heads right off for wasting money that should be meant for education this is a huge crock of shit
 
Why don't they just chemically castrate anyone that tests positive, ever, and do away with this evil scourge once and for all?

The scary thing is that if any of the fascists implementing these policies read the above, I predict a lot of contemplative beard stroking.
 
Folley my friend, your facts need no checking! I'm just backing you up. :D

Ignoring air resistance, two people dropped out of a plane will hit the ground at the same time.

True! However, if we don't ignore air resistance, the fat man will hit the ground sooner (all else being equal!). How much sooner depends on the height of the plane, but it will be at least a little bit.

Try performing Galileo's experiment with a rock and a leaf of paper, to see what I mean.

For clarity, I've edited my post to use Numbers's notation.

When i was in high school one year they tried to start doing random drug test lotteries. Students and parents got together and fought against it and won, it was pretty cool. a Lot of parents were involved and heavily opposed to them testing us.
 
i think what is more interesting is the talk about the fat man vs skinny man falling faster, i've learned a lot in the last 5 minutes.

LOL. Was wondering where they take hair from if someone has a shaved head or something.

Hair tests don't work if bleach your hair right? Doesn't work if you change your hair color a lot too right?


I don't know much about the hair tests. Does it have to be a certain length? Can they use hairs from anywhere on your body? Leg hair or even eyebrows?
 
They started random drug tests at my high school in 02'
It was only for the kids who played sports or people with parking passes for the school lot

There was a little shitty bar right down the street so me and my stoner buddies would just park there because we all knew the guy who owned the bar, basically because he lived right next door and would occasionally come out and get high with us before we all walked up the street, chain smoking cigs before walking into school baked as fuck
 
Hair tests are usualyl GC/MS tests of hair, macterated and chemically extracted with a volatile solvent. So unless you rinse your hair with gasoline every day....

A better way to fool the test is fumigating a couple buildings with cannabis smoke... now several hundred students will have hair saturated with THC. Have fun sorting out false positives.
 
This is such fucking bullshit. Mandatory? Give me a fucking break.

Anyways, if I was still in high school, and they tried to pull this shit...As long as I knew it was coming up. I'd shave and wax my entire fucking body. LMFAO. Cuz straight up, if they did a hair test of me back when I was 15 they'd probably be wondering how I was still alive...lol

EDIT: "I don't know much about the hair tests. Does it have to be a certain length? Can they use hairs from anywhere on your body? Leg hair or even eyebrows?"

- I was also wondering this. As for the length. The longer the hair, the more information it will contain, correct me if I'm wrong.

I appreciate you clearing that up. When I first saw this article I did a google search on it and I came across something that said the longer the hair the more information they could get from it.

Not that I'm doubting you in anyway (a bluelighter's input usually holds more merit than an internet search to me), but is there any chance you could direct me to the source of this information?
 
I like how they say its all about helping the kids and getting them to a better place in life

In reality we all know those kids are getting blasted in the ass with punishments, calls to parents, and general suspicion
