Red Ribbon Week.

[Tsun]

Did you guys know the rate of success for DARE are actually ridiculous poor, and if anything, the program exposes kids to drugs at a much earlier age than they would normally? Cuz uh, it's the troof.

This week is red ribbon week at our school (and all others?) which means we get to get our red pin-on ribbons and bracelets that talk about how there are better things to do than drugs.

How do you guys feel about it? Especially in high school where the idea is only appreciated by the handful of students who aren't stoned laughing at the signs.

I remember my classroom got a pizza party out of it. It was worth it.

Kids are eventually going to be introduced to them some time in their lives. DARE tells them they're bad and gives examples, scenarios, whatnot so at least it's something.

I think Shash should teach DARE. He's an expert :)

My DARE officer drank and smoked on campus. I don't think they volunteer for this at the police station. Anywho, I convinced myself way before I took that joke of a class that I was never going to drink.
