re: parental consent: I have a strong suspicion that "consent" will eventually mean "we will do this unless you explicitly opt out by filling in a form that we will have your child bring to you (and which he will neglect to give you)"

Once testing positive for "mental health" problem means that the school gets extra money for treatment (and this is already the case), then "parental consent" will only be given lip service

When you hear "with parental concent", remember the word "voluntary" on your IRS forms. :)

Yup, "consent" is "voluntary" -- until you decide not to grant it. Then it becoms "mandatory."
