Drug and Alcohol Resistant Education
The police officer comes into the 6th grade classroom
He educates the children on the dangers of drugs and alcohol
A man serving time in jail for drunk driving gives his speech
This is what can happen to you if you drive drunk
You can lose your family to booze
You will get drunk every day and lose
You will lose your dignity
You will lose your health
You will lose your wealth
So I still wear the shirts 18 years later
A gift from the first cop who came to my classroom
Did it help the kids who are now approaching 30?
I am reading a book on how most charities are ineffective
How most waste the money that is given to them
Is DARE effective in curbing abuse of drugs and alcohol?
Or does it encourage some youths to start up these abuses?
It doesn't really seem to matter
If it feels good then do it
Regardless of the results
