Question: Can a teacher make me take a drug test?
Answer: The one court case addressing this issue found that a school is not allowed to require all students to submit to urine tests for drugs and alcohol. There have been other court cases where schools required drug tests of those who participated in interscholastic programs (football, softball, etc.). In those cases, one court found that the drug testing was justified for those participating in the sports program and three other courts found that it was not justified. Because most courts have found that drug testing in schools was not warranted, it is likely that the testing would not be allowed by most courts, not prohibited.

I think it's perfectly reasonable because the reasons they do drug tests is to see how you are doing at school and to see if you are on drugs 'cause if you are you may cause other students to take drugs and this can effect a lot of peoples. Mainly your parents.

I think that the teachers should not be able to give thier kids a drug
teast becuase they feel that they don't have no privacy.

I think there should be some kind of testing on schools. But I also think these tests should be done within reason.

I personally believe that drug testing should be allowed in schools if you play sports for the simple fact that the school has to take responsibility for you, Therefore they should have the right to know what you are doing, but this is my personal opion therefore i guess i really can't judge!!!!
