I think it's because for the majority of drugs, you can't do them in moderation like with drinking. Like have you ever heard of a person doing only a getting a little high on cocaine vs buzzed on alcohol? If it's wrong please correct me.
My school is all about pot, e, and drinking.

There are plenty of drugs that can be used in moderation, some even more so than alcohol. Certainly heroine, meth, etc. wouldn't fall under that category, but any argument used to condemn the use of drugs like marijuana can be applied to drinking. I'd say pot is far safer than alcohol.

Every one is drinking and partying and doing drugs, even a lot of kids you would expect to. In my honors psychology class, we promised nothing in there would ever go out of the classroom and then asked questions like, "Do you do marijuana?". It's surprisingto see that many hands up in clss made up of some of the best students in the school.

im pretty sure not everyone is drinking and doing drugs ha.
and you go to a city school so its probably a little different than if you would come to my school. stop making assumtions

Ok, I'm sorry, most people are drinking/doing drugs/etc. Yea I go to a hood city school but I think you'll find the same stories from just about everywhere in the country.

One of the UK's top head teachers has been sacked for "gross misconduct".

Tim [cut] of the [cut], was at the
centre of allegations of womanising and drug misuse in a tabloid
newspaper.

Following an independent investigation the school's governors have concluded he should be dismissed.

They
did not give reasons but did say there was no evidence to support one
claim - that he had used drugs confiscated from boys at the school.

Mr [cut] could not be contacted for comment.

The Daily Mail in February quoted a woman who said she was a former lover of Mr [cut]'s.

She
claimed he had pretended to her he was a back surgeon from Cambridge
who had also been seeing other women while still married.

'Presumed innocence'



The school's investigation was led by a retired chief education officer from outside the area.

It also asked an independent audit firm to review its financial procedures.

A
letter to parents from the school's chair of governors, Andrew [cut], said the investigation has been an opportunity for Mr [cut], 46, to put his side of events.

"We presumed innocence, until proven otherwise."

"A
number of people came forward to give further information and a good
deal of detailed evidence was gathered" -- Andrew [cut]

Mr [cut] said the financial report was "reassuring", though some minor changes to the school's procedures had been made.

"With
regard to the main investigation, a number of people came forward to
give further information and a good deal of detailed evidence was
gathered."

Once the investigator's report had been received,
Mr [cut] said he had asked the governors' staff dismissal committee
to meet.

"I am sorry to inform you that the staff dismissal
committee ... unanimously decided that Tim [cut] should be dismissed
from his post for gross misconduct."

Confiscated drugs



He did address one specific allegation made by the Daily Mail "which may have given cause for concern".

This was that the former head teacher had used cannabis confiscated from boys at the school.

Mr [cut] said there was "absolutely no evidence to support this suggestion".

In
practice Mr [cut] has already left the [cut] having announced
last year he was resigning to take up the headship of a leading private
school in Argentina.

Closed matter



It was announced recently that he would no longer be taking up that appointment.

In
that sense the dismissal is meaningless but Mr [cut] said that, in
keeping with the values the school instilled in its pupils, "the
findings were of sufficient seriousness to require there to be
consequences".

"In this case, the only proper consequence of Tim's actions, in our view, was dismissal."

He said the school was "far bigger than any one individual".

It considered the matter closed and intended to move on under its new head, former deputy head [cut].
