chevysoldier Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Too far or looking out for school kids safety?MEDINA (AP) -- Students will have to pass a breathalyzer test before they can be admitted to dances at one Ohio high school.A student member of a committee that came up with the new Medina High School policy says it comes after two students showed up drunk for the fall homecoming dance.http://www.newarkadvocate.com/article/20110127/NEWS01/110127003/1002/Medina-school-requires-breathalyzer-test-dances- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't see a problem with it. The school could just stop holding dances all together instead.I believe my high school flatly disallowed anyone over 21 from attending our homecoming dances. You had to prove that your date was enrolled at another school.You COULD bring anyone under the sun to prom, but they may have had breathalizers there. I know they kicked people over 21 out for being buzzed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think Northridge had one of those "prove your date goes to school" policies too but I don't remember for sure. Our dances sucked so I never went, we'd just get the trucks and go mudding or something.Honestly I see no problem with them making sure kids aren't drinking. One, they are all underage and two they are too immature to know how to handle themselves when drinking. The teachers and chaperones are responsible for their safety.

C-bus Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 If you're 21 and you WANT to go to a high school dance, you should be euthanized. Please. As for the OP, I wouldn't have done well in Medina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 How about' date=' "if you show up drunk you'll be escorted off the property"?? Why does everything have to involve an invasion of privacy/space? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.[/quote']One thing I didn't catch earlier was they didn't state what a "pass" would be. Would it be the legal limit for someone 21+ years old or would it be any alcohol in their systems? If they are under 21 that can't be drinking anyways. So if they have a 0 tolerance then just kicking out the ones that look drunk wouldn't cut it. Plus some could be drunk and hide it well.

But over the limit for someone under 21 is .02 as opposed to .08 for someone over 21. It takes very little to hit the .02 threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJ Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 There's been a bunch of fatal accidents with kids from Medina the past few years, but I can't remember how many were DUIs. I'm wondering if they're trying to 'control' it or minimize their own liability for when the next carful of kids drives into a tree.Interestingly, I didn't see it in the free local snowblower-clogging paper this week.It's probably a moot point anyway as the school system's about to cut out everything in the budget. Next year they probably won't even have the money to keep the lights/heat on after lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they kicked people over 21 out for being buzzed.Yeah if they didn't goto Brecksville you had to prove they went to another high school. I had to deal with this for 2 years. Prom though they never officially had a Breathalyzer at the door but if you showed signs of being drunk they had a cop standing by with one in the squad car, at least it was like that for my senior year.If you're 21 and you WANT to go to a high school dance, you should be euthanized. Please.concur 100%There's been a bunch of fatal accidents with kids from Medina the past few years, but I can't remember how many were DUIsI know its 1 for sure and maybe 2 but can't remember off hand.

Steve Butters Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 at my school, a month before prom, they took a car that was thoroughly fucking smashed and rolled over and everything else and they set it right next to the main sign for our school so we would all pass it heading into the parking lot as a reminder lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably my favorite day of the school year because by the end of the day half the damn school were ghosts and couldnt talk, it was amazingly peaceful.

I'd have done the same damn thing. )As someone who works with the public in a position of power, do you believe you can effect better social change by engaging the public in a conversation where you talk to them like they are intelligent people, present your case in a way that's easy for them to understand, listen to their issues and attempt to reconcile them with respect and dignity, or do you throw the most polarizing, shocking thing you can at them (usually in an incredibly hokey fashion) in an attempt to scare them all into instant submission, and the ones that don't submit are immediately arrested or punished by administrators that allow no human margin for error or don't account (or care) for exigent circumstances?

If you're 18 and you want to get wasted that badly, by all means; enlist in the military. It's legal - that doesn't mean your CO will tolerate it.
