DARE needs to be updated to this, and taught in K-6th grades:
"D.A.R.E. To resist drugs, violence, and immorality".
(To feed the Conscience, is to feed the Character-Integrity).
Childhood is the time of character-formation, after all..... |

I think that all students from K-12 should have to take DARE programs once a month through the
entire year. Kids today need to learn the dangers of drugs and they constantly need to be reminded
of it. No, all kids do not do drugs, but all kids are curious and have the option of trying them.
So, if we have more DARE programs, more often, kids would be aware and not want to try drugs. The
key to beating the drug problem is continuous education and repetition about the dangers of drugs. |

In general I think your idea is good.
But I do think communities and states should have a say in the matter based on their own local
needs. Because although drugs are a nearly ubiquitous problem there actually are some regions so
rural, or so safe, or so upscale that there either is very little drug problem or it simply isn't
going to hit at so early an age as you suggest.
But yeah, at whatever age the community reasonably believes drugs will become an issue then D.A.R.E.
Is a good thing to do. |

I have to agree with cons_lies however i also agree with amber. In DARE they should rather teach
what happens to you during drug use not the actual high part of it but the part that tells them
about the brain damage etc. There should be serious discussions and planning on what is said in
these classes. To teach the children about what happens. Then give them the opportunity to say no.
If they make a mistake then it is their mistake just let them know that we are there for them and
that it's up to them to make the correct choice. |

Kids forget all about dare so they should do it 3 times so the kids stay off drugs |

D.A.R.E keeps kids off drugs about as much as sex education keeps kids abstinent. Kids will do
whatever the hell they want to do, especially when their parents either don't care or lack the
intestinal fortitude to fulfill their role as parents rather than trying to be their friends. I
personally think that drugs are for losers, but that has always been my stance even before I went
through D.A.R.E in elementary. |

The problem with DARE in my day was they more or less constantly lied to us in order to scare us
away from drugs. If they had stuck to the truth they probably would have been more effective. Of
course it had just started then, it was the Reagan era and the truth was seriously out of vogue.
Perhaps they’ve brightened up a bit. But given the fact that two friends of mine recently had to
go through a lengthy interview process with a social worker, I would say they haven’t gotten much
smarter. You see the daughter told them at school that her mother was an alcoholic, because Dare had
taught her what alcoholism was. My friend has exactly one glass of wine most nights with dinner. So
in my admittedly limited experience DARE is a propaganda organization that’s about as useful as
teats on a bull. |

You make it sound as if every child takes drugs... |

D.A.R.E. Does more to educate kids on where to get drugs, how to do drugs, and how to make drugs,
than it does to deter drug use. It is a waste of taxpayer money that could go to crime prevention,
but that's not really the role of the police anymore, is it? |
