| | | | Not in my opinion. If a teacher's drug use is detrimental to their teaching skills then it's usually pretty obvious and they won't get away with it long. On the other hand, if a teacher has an occasional toke at weekends it's not doing anyone any harm. I've had teachers in both of these situations. |

why should they?
why should anyone be drug tested?
as long as you are not high at school I don;t see why a responsible adult should not be alowed to enjoy the odd occasional recreational substance. why should that be ground to destroy someones life?
but this is a baited question.

I have to certify a certain amount of continuing development in my job each year to be able to continue to do it and I am not responsible for the development of young minds.

and
No they should not be tested.

Are you comfortable with a teacher recreationally using drugs during their off time?

In some workplaces, drug tests are only performed when something happens, i.e. if there is an automobile accident, something to that effect. I think teachers should only be tested if their performance has a noticeable drop.
