Next fall, Salpointe Catholic High School in Midtown will make it mandatory for all students to take a drug test.
What do you think about the school's decision to drug test its students? Should public schools do the same?
"I think it could be good and bad — bad for the school because they might lose students with the drug testing. It could also be a good motivator to stop doing drugs."

"They are just going to lose more students. I am pretty sure parents will agree with it so their kids don't get into drugs."

"I think having mandatory drug testing at schools will help kids lay off the drugs a little bit if there's a better chance of getting caught."

"Mandatory drug tests seem like a good idea. If the threat of getting caught is higher, then the use of drugs might go down."

"I think if they do drug testing, then people would probably rather drop out. They do it (drugs) no matter what. It won't stop them. I don't think all schools should, because if they do, people won't be able to go to school."
