Unfortunately, dealing with drugs and alcohol is something that every person will come across in their lifetime. Peer pressure and family lifestyles are strong indicators for whether a student will or will not use drugs and alcohol.
Allowing my students the opportunity to experience by simulation how these substances will impact their senses will empower them to make healthy decisions when they are inevitably faced with a choice to use drugs, or not.
Experience is one of life's greatest teachers. These drunk goggles will allow students to experience impairment in a safe and sober environment. Students will be able to learn by their own experience how their different life goals will be affected by the decision to use drugs and alcohol. From my experiences teaching 8th and 9th graders, I have seen that students often feel "invincible." Many times students do not understand the life-altering implications their decisions make. These drunk goggles can help show them the reality of the choice to use drugs and alcohol. This will also allow for more meaningful discussion with my students to help them learn how drugs and alcohol would affect all areas of their life.
