Miles to Go

I just returned from an incredible presentation at my kid’s middle school on drug prevention education. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot fun, but the presentation was extremely informative, entertaining and, needless to say, eye-opening.

Every year in the 7th and 8th graders in our school attend a 5-day session with Jonathan Scott of Miles to Go, and there is a parent meeting at the beginning of the session to discuss with the parents what the children are going to be taught during upcoming the week.

Scott is a very charismatic and entertaining speaker and amazingly the kids really connect with him. He is also a recovering drug addict. My son thinks he’s learned more in this class than any other class all year.

Scott focuses on comprehensive drug facts, the socio-political environment surrounding drugs (legal and illegal), and the chemistry of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and their effects on the body in a very entertaining and engaging way, so the kids don’t feel like they are being lectured to.

I’m very grateful that our school is offering this kind of material for our students.

Please contact Miles to Go if you are interested in getting a program like this for your school.

While I’m in the process of looking at some of the family-oriented blogs I’ve found, I’m also searching for blogs that focus on education.

If you have any recommendation, please let me know.
