Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.

And yet your scenario had them dealing drugs and carrying a knife in their backpack.

A tray of pot brownies at home with your friends is not going to get the school liaison officer busting down your door.

Brownies in a backpack to share after school and a multi-tool is all you need. Even just the brownies at a school.

We're not really going to convince each other, so have a good night.

Can you show me a single arrest for a high school student caught with brownies and a multi-tool that ended up being a felony?

You fabricate potentials, but where's the reality?
