It's disturbing to think that there is excuse after excuse for not being tested. People are randomly tested in other occupations that don't even deal with children. Some occupations even require drug testing before a person is employed. What are you folks really afraid of? If you're not on drugs, it shouldn't be a problem. Unless the state and teachers union are afraid of what they might find! Because that's what it looks like. Teachers are responsible for our children's well being and education while in school. Stop making excuses. You folks really look bad, and it looks like you have a lot to hide from the public. It seems to me you don't want to have to deal with the results from the testing. Obviously, the well-being and education of the children of Hawai'i isn't that important to the teachers union. Alice Lenchanko 'Ewa Beach - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
