willair read back at what you've been writing because that's what I've been reponding to. I did not at any stage say nobody does these things. I only said narcotics and hard drugs are not big issues at PS like you seem to think based on your one daughters school, that you still let her...

This family have been close personal friends for many years, so no breaches there and no insider info :rolleyes:.

The media loves reporting what happens in private schools. The last report on our school was because students threw an egg at a pedestrian (reported as roaming the suburbs throwing eggs at pedestrians) The nature of the media is to get a good story. What I said was narcotics and hard drugs...

I really think most people here are on the same page and it's just the way they approach the problem that's a bit different. I think unless you know how healthy and successful the parent child relationship is in the first place you probably can't comment too much on how wrong or right a...

I think you might be even more shocked with what I've seen over the years :p. I've dealt with (and still do) hundreds if not thousands of druggies from the more organised drug dealers, to the permanently brain damaged and psychotic. Adelaide is a small place and after a while you not only...

Why go to this extreme when you can simply check for trackmarks :rolleyes:. No true druggie is going to waste this drug on swallowing it. Seriously, if this is one of their drugs of choice, you're going to know they're on drugs and hanging out with serious druggies well before the need for a...

At 17 this sort of monitoring can backfire. That's the risk you take. Developing a solid relationship based on trust and openess, and gradually giving rope works well too ;). What happens when they turn 18? I'd rather my kids learn to make good judgement rather than me force that upon...
