While drug users expand in number, the ages that use illegal drug turns out to be younger every year. Reports show that not only in government and private workplaces but colleges and universities too, project a growing incidence of drug abuse. This is why some of lawmakers and concerned political bodies propose a mandatory drug testing of every student in an educational institution.
I, on my student point of view, being a non-user & a strong antagonist of prohibited drugs, am I favor of this test. There’s nothing to be troubled about. Then those who are found guilty of drug usage shall undergo rehabilitation. Why rehabilitation and not behind bars (if legal-aged)? Because these people are students i.e. they still get the rights as a student; they were sent to school by their parents to become educated. Therefore if these students were sent to jail, a parent would probably question the capability of the school in handling students. Or if it happens that a parent cannot send his youngster to a rehab center due to lack of financial aspects, the school may provide so, or he may be given a penalty or punishment that is in accordance to guiding the student back to becoming a drug-free being. This would be a very immense help of the school to the parents and for the student as well.

This may occur: A student who has never used prohibited drug turned out to be positive on the test due to discrepancies, tomorrow he’s a big shame without his conscious. It would result to social shock, or whatever tremor. Even worse: After the news has spread all over the campus, those who did the test to him will just simply tell that he wasn’t really positive. Now it’s a counter shock, & now they’re not to deal about the drug, but to deal about his psychological aspect.
To answer whether to become pro or con to drug testing in schools is just a short story, but it takes complications after the implementation. But if the government really hungers for drug-free education for all, no hindrances can limit its powers. *Else part of the government doesn’t want to.
