"plastics , boiler rooms, saunas, no water for you kid, be a man, skipping class to run,spitting in a cup during class, wearing plastics to class and to bed , etc."

Probably kids are still doing these things, but kids better NOT be doing these under the supervision or with the blessings of school personnel.

If kids are resorting to these methods to get down and stay down it means the school probably cheated on the hydration testing at alpha weigh-in and certification. . .which means those schools will probably cheat and abuse any system that is put into place.
