Nightline: Uppers

So I’m watching this show about how the new rage among teens is getting high off of prescription drugs. The parents are sitting there saying how there were completely duped by the whole thing.

“He went to school and got As and Bs. You would never know.”

“I never really tried, I was high all the time.”

Put aside the drug issue and focus on the educational system: a kid can be on all kinds of hallucinatory substances and still get As and Bs? What the hell man?
