Busted at School, Volume 1. Student Drug Violations - What the Courts Say

The first in the five-book BUSTED AT SCHOOL series is about students who are suspended, expelled or criminally prosecuted when they possess, use or sell drugs at school. Presented as a discussion guide for teachers, students and parents, the format of the book encourages all reader groups to discuss with others what happened to the students in these 42 interesting cases. After each case, the book presents a set of questions and discussion topics for each reader group. This learn-by-sharing approach works well for teachers, students and parents.. Students can read the cases and then share what happened to the kids in these cases with their friends. They can share both in person and online using social media formats like Twitter, Facebook and others. . School districts can set up online law discussion clubs for students and provide them with online learning courses about student drug violations at school.. Parents can read the cases with their children and discuss the choices made by the students in the cases, and the legal consequences of those choices.. Teachers and administrators can learn what the courts say about school district policies and procedures for handling drug violations. After each case the book presents take-away tips and a legal-bottom-line section for school officials..
