After fiddling around for a while, I actually figured out how to change the size of pictures in my blog. It was a lot easier than I thought…same as in microsoft word, just click and drag type deal.

I had no idea about ‘dusting’. This is good to know. I agree with others, educating younger students about these issues is important. I remember in elementary school a public health nurse talking to our class about drugs and alcohol. I think it was grade 4 or 5 when she came. From what I remember, our parents had to sign a permission slip in order to attend the presentation. Also, I think this type of presentation did not occur every year but did in our year because the public health nurse’s daughter was in our class. Something interesting to note as well is that our graduating class was the only class (none before and after) to hold a chem free grad…not sure if the two are related but interesting to note.

This is terrifying! Thanks for posting this. I think as educators we need to begin to discuss these issues even before grade 6 and 7. Sometimes, by the time our students are 11 and 12 years old, it’s too late. It is also important, however, to educate ourselves. We need to become aware of the trends in drug use of young teens and utilize community supports and health care professionals to help us bring these issues to the forefront in our classrooms.

Hey! Interesting post. I think you are right that we need to educate students. I believe there is a lack of drug education in schools. One day doesn’t cut it…and that is usually what happens in health classrooms. I think a big part of this is educators not being afraid to talk about these issues, and not avoiding them in younger classrooms. I think it’s great that you were part of health presentations for grade 6/7. Once you educate students, you have to hope that they will see the effects and dangers of this kind of inhalant use.
