honestly i dont see why the school admin would give a flying fuck about a few students doing their best to hide their vaping habits. the school isn't their parent, when caught just report them to their parents. if the parents wont do anything then go to CPS and wash your hands of it.
We're a charter school where they only attend 5 hours. Basically students are here just shy of us being legally required to serve lunch. The real reason we're going wild on vapes is because the principal is absolutely fucking insane and is the direct cause of half our staff planning to quit at the end of the year. Unfortunately I'm basically her secretary so my hands are tied. My attitude is, let this shit escalate until the district or management company comes down and fires her.

It's simply the easiest solution, and the one that took approximately 10 seconds of planning. Honestly I'm getting closer to an anonymous tip, I just need to prepare myself for handling that fallout.

Florida. The school mission and everything is amazing, we're dropout prevention so we basically give students a second chance. However the entire system is absolutely fucked. On federal, state, district, school, parent and student levels. I understand why so many teachers are leaving the field. It's frustrating and depressing.
