In Illinois, the teachers union in the Illini Bluffs school district have currently been on strike for 8 days in anger over having to be drug tested. Students are unable to start back to school because of the lack of teachers. The district is taking applications of temporary substitute teachers so that students may start back to school. The teachers union resents the drug testing as a power move. I however think that the school systems in any state could potentially get rid of poor teachers a lot more quickly if they would allow drug testing so I am in favor of the idea for the betterment of the children. What do you think? Should teachers be drug tested? For more about this story, click here.
It sounds like they are doubting about teachers. But I think, if I had children, I would be calmer if I know they are with good people as teachers. It is a good idea in order to make the parents feel calm and as a way to keep the image of teachers clean. I don’t take drugs, so… why would I be against that? If those teachers don’t want the test, is it because they are afraid they cand find something? I don’t know.
