Explusion is no solution
EDITOR: I am disappointed with the way some schools handle students with drug problems. Most times the school administration suspend or expel the students without even discussing the problem with the parents.

Parents get to know of the problem for the first time after their children have been sent home. Expulsion is not only shocking to the parents but very unfair given the fact that these children spend most of the time at school, especially in boarding schools.
School administration is part and parcel of the problem as it is part of their responsibility to monitor the students' discipline. Most of the students learn this vice from their peers at school and not at home.
I suggest that once such a problem is noticed, the school administration should first invite the parents and discuss the best way forward to solve it. Expulsion as the first step cannot solve the problem.
