OPINION: “How can kids feel safe in school if teachers aren’t drug tested?”

“I’ve sent emails and got no response from city council. I recently found out New Bedford teachers and staff, including nurses, are not drug tested.

I feel this is so unsafe for the children. Would you be able to ask who is okay with their children being taught by just anyone? Especially in New Bedford. I’d really like to make a change so all teachers are for children’s safety.

How can they feel safe in school? What if school is their only safe place?” -Anonymous
