Steroids are a public and private problem, if you werent so worried about the public v private debate you could see that. i agree parents need to step in, and thats what my friend did. but the reality of the matter is that when classmates are all using steroids to getter better on the field, the school needs to give these kids some type of education on the harms of these drugs. and do something instead of turn a blind eye to the situation. sherm03 your graduated not too long ago...did any of your classmates use steroids at Mooney?
How is it showing my intelligence that I was sticking up (to an extent) for Mooney on that accusation. You were the one who made it a point to mention the kid went to Mooney. If you were just bringing it up to bring it up, you wouldn't have brought up the school name, and you wouldn't have done it in this thread. YOU were the one that was hinting that steroids are a problem at Mooney, and basically egging on the public v. private debate. All I did was defend the administration (to an extent) based on your post.
You should probably go back and re-read my post because I agreed with GoChiefs (to an extent) regarding the parents involvement with something like that. I then went on to say that if someone has a claim like that with solid proof other than, "my kid says the whole team is doing when I caught him with 'roids"...then the administration should step in because the kids are their responsibility.
So please don't try to twist this on me. Based on your posting history, you've shown...and at times outright declared...your dislike of the private schools. By throwing in the little, "my godson...who goes to Mooney by the way..." you were trying to make this a private problem. But good try taking a high horse approach after the fact.
I did graduate not too long ago...relatively speaking. To my knowledge, nobody was on steroids. There were times I wish they were. Then maybe we wouldn't have gone 5-5, 0-10, and 5-5 during my sophomore, junior, and senior years. /sarcasm. But seriously....nobody that I know of was on steroids while I was at Mooney.
