A rule in effect for Saugus High School stipulates that student-athletes are to refrain from being anywhere drugs, alcohol or tobacco may be in the vicinity. A violation is defined by the use, possession or being in the presence of drugs, alcohol or tobacco.
That's a pretty strict rule. In high school, if my school had a similar rule, I wouldn't have been able to go to church, go to work, or even go home, as all those places had alcohol. Heck, smoking in public was still allowed back then, so even going out for the evening would have been prohibited...
I don't get this...they graduated. Who cares about the policy at that point?
Also if there parents smoke in their own house, in front of the kids, is that a violation?
No rumor at mine...Our HS football team was rumored to be dropping hallucinogenics and smoking reefer.
What, and lose all the tax revenue generated by smokers? Never gonna happen because the state will keep upping it and smokers will keep paying it.That's an interesting question. Why hasn't Maura banned cigarettes so that parents don't subject their kids to unhealthy second-hand smoke?
A lot of schools have a lot of retarded rules. Smoking is banned at UMass Amherst, for example, even outside.
