DARE PROGRAM DISAPPOINTING

I agree with the Shorewood school district wanting to drop the DARE
program. I had three of my children go through DARE in Waukesha, and I was
very disappointed with the program, not to mention the poor attitudes my
children had when they finished the program.

I believe that DARE does encourage kids to try drugs and alcohol, while at
the same time this program has the kids condemning everyone else for drug
and alcohol use. This is almost a double standard.

I really think that the program should either be done away with completely
or severely cut down to two or three weeks instead of 13 weeks.
