That testing policy has made it very easy to enforce drug, tobacco and alcohol violations. For the record, if an athlete or non athlete is found (caught) violating policy the old fashioned way, the same punishments are in place. To my knowledge, we have had almost no complaints due to a suspension.

I hate to say it, but in this age of kids living in a situation with two sets of parents living apart, the kid will often be able to follow the rules of the most lenient household. Some parents will follow the rules of the more lenient parent to have their kids around more often. It's not right, but in many cases, it is reality. That is why, in my opinion, schools have to take the lead in raising kids. Right or wrong, that is our responsibility.
