Basically all this technical
mumbo jumbo means that if students are constantly moving around or exploring they learn better, and that school policy should increase involvement in learning. As I was saying previously, students need to relate to someone or something. If they actively learn and are involved in assemblies or activities that help them to understand the bad affects of illicit drug use, then they are less likely to do it. If you don't allow students to get involved then it's just like the
watermelon seed myth. You know, where your Mom tells you
"your gonna' grow a watermelon in your belly if you eat the seeds!" Yah your kid might be scared for a little bit, but eventually they get curious. It's human nature! And then they eat the watermelon seed...
The same goes for illicit drug use. You could tell anyone all you want that it's bad for them, but eventually they'll get curious and try it anyways. You gotta' think, were like cats, anything were not suppose to do we do. This is why interactive activities would help educate and keep students from using. Don't just tell them that drug use is bad, show them. Demonstrate the effects, show pictures, and even take them to a jail and show them what will happen if they ever got caught with drugs. That's never a fun place to go but it sure would
scare the Hell out of em' and it wouldn't be a trip to forget.
