My older three children took this program. I looked over the materials initially and thought it was a good program. Watching the results over the years, I think it is a waste of time and $. I refused to let my youngest take it. However he was homeschooled anyway

? for moms whose children have gone through the program: Is it a one day/week/month long thing? How long is the police officer actually talking with the children?

It is a program that lasts two to three weeks....a huge waste of time in my estimation!

The drug programs I grew up with in the 1960's use lots of scare tactics that really were not researched well. Sonny and Cher did one.

DARE does not use scare tactics, but it is ineffectual. I seems to say there are simply better ways to be with your friends and better things to do with your time.
