I can’ recall anyone bringing heroin to school when I was a kid, a frog yes.

One of my class mates brought in a dead squirrel for show and tell. (That is a true story !)

Note to Parents; This will be an UNEXCUSED ABSENCE, that your child must make up during the Thanksgiving or Winter Break Period. Due to our policies of fairness and balance, this absence CANNOT be made up for during the Dia De Las Muertes, Kwanza or Ramadan Festival weeks. The School District deeply appreciates your cooperation.

No test to confirm the packets, no discovery if any kid ingested any of them.
Just haul the whole class to the hospital, and blast the worst-case scenario on the news.
What exactly comprises “overreacting” anymore?

Your right about that. Interesting that sometimes the kids we thought were so funny were really crazy..

Poor kid. I wonder if this was a cry for help?

From the article: “The school nurse and paramedics began checking the children, since drugs can be absorbed through the skin.”
IMO if it can be absorbed through their skin, the school officials made the right decision.

Ramping up the hysteria as they see their drug war (and means of social control) slip away.

If it was heroin they could have swallowed the whole mess and been none the worse..
If it was cocaine or something else....
more problematic

A sweet little girl in our carpool brought a dogs heart full of heart worms for show and tell. Her father was a vet. Very gross.
