Drugs in primary schools: the Ecstasy and the agony
Article Abstract:
Latest guidance on drugs education from the UK government indicates that children as young as four years old should be taught that drug misuse is harmful. Some parents and teachers have doubts about this, believing that children should not be robbed of their innocence at such a young age. However, the National Association of Head Teachers believes that drug abuse of some kind is present in all primary schools.
