NO HARM IN DRUG TESTING

I read recent letters about drug testing in schools. I have been
substitute teaching in this area for 36 years and do not think
students are harmed by drug tests. If they don't have a drug problem,
there is no damage.

When school officials started doing locker checks, students said their
privacy was being invaded. But the checks still go on and no one has a
problem if there's nothing to hide.

Teenagers will be going out into this world, and increasing numbers of
businesses and companies have spot drug tests.

So why shouldn't students be able to handle it now? Look at all the
professional athletes who have to live with such testing. Those who
have no problems will survive.
