http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/435987/Teacher-on-Drugs-what-to-do I am a parent of a middle school aged child, and while spending time with a friend I met her significant other, who seems to really like smoking pot. I later found out that he is a middle school teacher, and that struck a nerve. While I know that there are much worse drugs, this teacher happens to spend alot of money every month on this habit. And having socially indulged myself and quit 10 plus years ago, I realized that anyone his age that would buy such amounts of the drug and risk committing a felony, he has a personality that I would not like to expose my child to.
