Although schools are places for learning and growth, they are also places where students engage in alcohol and drug use. This study showed that most teachers were aware of drugs in their schools, but did not regard drug use as an interference in their own classrooms. Many teachers were knowledgeable about their schools' drug policy, but did not feel they were effective. Further, many teachers were reluctant to punish students for drug use because they feared wrongly accusing a student and students' reactions.
