This time, it's finding out that D14 and S13 have been smoking pot, and D14 has been cutting school (WHY do they bother to take attendance if they're not going to call the parents when they go missing??????)

Ellie, thanks for posting on my thread a couple of months age.
As you might remember, I worked in a group home for deliquent 14 to 19 yr old boys. We did random urine test so each resident had at least 2 tests a month. The best results were from samples taken in the morning (first wake up pee). Boys trying to hide their pot smoking usually drank a lot of fluids so we tested them more often. The fluid drinkers barely passed some of the do-it-yourself test if we tested them later in the day. We would test again in the AM (first pee), they flunked big time. Some tried taking some pill called gold seal, gold rod, or something like that from a nutrition store like GNC, I think. They passed the test sometimes.
Doing the teat randomly sure decreased drug usage. With a definate positive on a test, there was less arguing from the boy. Good old black and white, no arguing about how gray something was.
