A Physical Education And Health Teacher Teaches Her Students About The Relevance Of Alcohol Dependency Signs

Miss Jackson was a health teacher at the best known co-ed high school in the county. Although she had been teaching for only three of four years, she had already established a reputation as an instructor with instructional methods that inspired and stimulated her students to think and to learn.

As an illustration, one Monday afternoon she addressed the pupils in her classroom and said the following: "For the next week we are going to learn about some usual alcoholism signs from a more wide-ranging standpoint and we are also going to learn about some of the most highly researched signs of alcoholism from a more detailed standpoint."

"Not all of these alcoholism warning signs will definitely reveal that a drinker with a drinking problem is an alcohol addicted individual, but the more signs that an individual displays, the stronger the probability that he or she is an alcohol dependent individual."

Miss Jackson then told the class that each pupil would be responsible for studying three alcohol dependence signs and then presenting his or her findings to the other members in the class by way of a five minute oral presentation.

The day after all of the students completed their presentations, Miss Jackson passed out a piece of paper with a list of all the alcoholism signs that were presented and discussed in the presentations and in class. Miss Jackson then asked the pupils in her classroom to study the list and rank the top seven alcohol dependency signs that were most indicative of alcoholism. After approximately twenty minutes, Miss Jackson collected the sheets of paper and informed the pupils in her class that after she examines the results, she will discuss her findings the morning of the next school day.

Miss Jackson told her students to go over the information she handed out and then to raise their hand if they had any issues, questions, or concerns. Within 20 or 30 seconds, just about everyone in the class raised her or his hand. It was apparent that the students had some issues, concerns, or questions about their results versus the answers given by the alcoholism experts. As an illustration, virtually every individual in the class disagreed with the highest ranking answer given by the alcoholism authorities, to be exact, "Do you feel extremely ill when you refrain from drinking?"

Miss Jackson then told the students in her classroom why this answer was the most unambiguous indicator of alcoholism. She stressed the fact that the foremost difference between alcohol abuse and alcoholism is the physical addiction that is experienced with alcohol dependency and not with alcohol abuse.

Basically this means that when an alcohol addicted individual abruptly stops drinking, he or she will go through alcohol withdrawal symptoms. After Miss Jackson explained the relevance of alcohol withdrawal symptoms in the life of the individual who is addicted to alcohol, the pupils started to grasp the major difference between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction.

A few minutes later the bell rang, signifying the end of the class. Based on the enthusiasm displayed by the pupils when they were leaving the classroom, Miss Jackson knew that she had inspired and stimulated the students in her class to stop and think about an essential social problem and health issue that exists in our culture.
