I arrived at my son’s school, Cactus Shadow High School by 7:20 last Thursday morning ready to discuss the posting of his chemistry grade.  But when the Vice Principle, Ms. Beasley agreed to see me things got very interesting. 

Ms. Beasley informed me the school would be performing a survey and she new how I felt about such things. (It is my policy NO SURVEYS OF ANY KIND). So she was giving me the opportunity to opt my son out. (Imagine that, now days you must sign a form to opt your children out of such trash.) After reading just a few lines of the Opt Out Form I knew this was trouble. It stated “The survey was an assessment study sponsored by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission.”  The Opt Out Form also stated “Questions cover alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and family and community factors related to substance abuse” I requested to see a copy and read each question, all 142 of them, I found much, much more!!! 

When I requested a copy of the survey, I was refused.  I then requested the refusal be put in writing. The school refused me again. So, I refused to leave Ms. Beasley office without a copy, two and a half hours later I was finally given the web site.
