Sarah Joy Quiambao EDU 210-3003 ined November 12, 2013 Cartoon Analysis #10 The cartoon I was assigned to interpret will be analyzed through the usage of amendments, court cases, news articles, and my personal option. This cartoon discuss the subject regarding the society we live in now and if the requirement of drug testing implicate protected privacy rights. Cartoon #10 depicts the image of a teacher sitting with urine samples on her desk. On the chalk board is written, “Drug Tests Today.” In the cartoon, the teacher states, “I liked it better when they left apples on my desk!” I do not blame the teacher in this cartoon because I as well would rather have apples on my desk than the urine samples from students. This cartoon portrays the changing society we live in now and the subject concerning if students should be obligated to drug testing. Students use to bring apples for teachers, but now teachers have much more on their plate with the changing of time. Teachers not only deal with the struggles of educating their students, but also the personal problems each student obtains. ‘The teacher in this impression that if a student truly wants to do drugs while being in an extracurricular activity, they will do it. This subject will always be an issue because it deals with the privacy of students and the importance of deterring students from drug use. Why do we believe drug tests deter students from using drugs when several studies show that students will use them regardless? Yes, I do believe that drug testing invades the privacy of people. However, if'a person knows they are “clean” then there should be nothing for them to worry about. Joining extracurricular activities are an option and I believe that if a student does not believe or comply with the rules, they do not have to join. Works Cited Davis, M.H.
