8. One Problem With D.A.R.E. Was The Lectures Became Too Long
One of the least effective ways to teach a child is to stand in front of a class and give a lecture. While the D.A.R.E. curriculum had a few activities, such as coloring pages and connect the dots, it wasn’t enough to reach children.
The younger children didn’t fully understand the lectures, and the older children became lost in their thoughts. Because of this, children never learned as much as they could from the D.A.R.E. program, which is one reason why it didn’t work well.
