Free Drugs from the cops? What were the chances?

When I was fresh out of college, I taught elementary school with a program called Teach for America. The school where I taught needed much more than a few over-zealous white kids from the North East "helping out", but they took what they could get. One day, a kindergartner brought home about 10 tabs of Ecstasy from school. It was around Easter time, so when the teacher saw her EATING them (plural!), she told her to put them away, which the child did. Upon arriving home, her mother recognized the tablets as Ecstasy b/c of her work as an emergency room nurse. By that time, the kid had already eaten about four of them. The child is fine now, by all reports, and we have NO idea how the drug made it into the classroom. Our best guess was that another child found it in one of their parent's possession, thought it was candy, brought it in to school, and traded them. Either that, or the kids are getting on this easy money thing REAL early.

Did she think they were runing around the house BECAUSE of the speed? And in what world does a plastic back of white powder look like sweets*?? I hope rat poison, talcum powder and flour are similarly banned from the household.

*okay, maybe sherbert, but one and three year olds won't have experienced its joys yet

So naive...

The sniffer must have been shit if it retrieved the wrong bag!
