18. In 2009, D.A.R.E Got Rid Of Its Old Curriculum
One of the factors that D.A.R.E. officials have always done is continue to do their research so they can make the D.A.R.E. program as great as possible. They want to keep as many children away from drugs as they can, so they completely redid their curriculum in 2009.
Not only did D.A.R.E. become known as “Keepin’ It REAL,” but the program gave up most of its lectures and turned to more activities to get kids interested. The program started to focus more on how to handle social situations and your emotions when it comes to your friends or someone else offering you drugs.
