haifagirl, I did not mean to imply that I think Yeshivah kids should be randomly drug tested (unless there is just cause, of course). I was using it as an example of a rule or law that is suspected of being broken, and the right of the head of the school to ensure that it does not happen again.
Bombmaniac, I hear what you are saying, also, but I strongly disagree with you. Just-a-guy said it well. When a student knows the rules and flouts them, it is demeaning to that trust and relationship you want him to have with his rebbie, and insults the rebbie. I suspect you might be quite a bit younger than I am, so perhaps that influences your approach to this subject. As an “ld lady” however, I look at years of experience watching young people of all types grow up, and they are mostly all the same. Maybe they are good kids, but they will always try to get away with something if allowed to do so. Sometimes that is not even a bad thing. But in this case, I am on the “erring on the side of caution” side of the fence.
