"For every student who complains that drug testing is an invasion of his or hers privacy we can show you a hundred parents who have lost their children to drugs. With drug testing students get a safe environment where they can learn. Even the teachers win, because with fewer drugs is a safer school." Should High School students be routinely tested for drug use? Before you answer think about this as a highschool student, your already under the legal age. You can't purchase alcohol, and most still aren't of age to purchase cigarettes, therefore you shouldn't be doing drugs to begin with.
             The "Leave No Child Behind Act of 2001" permits schools to use federal education funds for student drug testing. Therefore it is a low-cost method meant to help fight for our children's future. For example after two years of drug testing Hunterdon Central Regional High School in New Jersey, the school experienced in decline in 20 of the 28 categories of drug use in the whole student population.
             Many students don't have to worry about feeling embarrassed as well since all information will be kept strictly confidential. All information is reviewed by a physician who is medically trained in the field so no false accusations can be made. Aside from feeling that it's an invasion of privacy at one point or another a urine sample will be made, whether it be in a doctor's office, or applying for a job.
             Students need to also understand that there is no punishment, it tested positive the results are not sent to colleges or law enforcement. The sole purpose of drug testing is to help the student get a better idea on drug education and counseling. As for drug testing among students being fair, I think they all already know the answer "Don't Do Drugs", if you don't do drugs, then there's no way you can fail a drug test. It's as easy and simple is that.
