A Health And Physical Education Instructor Instructs Her Pupils About The Importance Of Alcohol Dependency Signs
Miss Jackson was a health teacher at the best known co-educational high school in the county. Although she had been teaching for only four years, she had already gained a reputation as an educator with instructional methods that motivated and stimulated her students to learn and to think.
As an illustration, one Monday morning at 9:30 she addressed her pupils and said the following: "For the next week we are going to learn about some usual alcoholism signs from a more wide-ranging viewpoint and we are also going to learn about some of the most familiar signs of alcoholism from a more detailed point of view."
"Not all of these alcoholism warning signs will unquestionably demonstrate that a drinker with a drinking problem is an alcohol dependent individual, but the more signs that an individual displays, the stronger the probability that she or he is an alcohol addicted individual."
Miss Jackson then told the class members that each person would be responsible for examining three alcohol dependence signs and then presenting his or her findings to the other class members by way of a six minute oral presentation.
The day after all of the students completed their presentations, Miss Jackson passed out a sheet 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 students in her classroom to study the list and rank the top eight alcohol dependency signs that were most indicative of alcoholism. After roughly ten minutes, Miss Jackson collected the sheets of paper and informed the pupils in her class that after she studies the results, she will discuss her findings the morning of the next school day.
Miss Jackson told her pupils to look over the numbers and then to raise their hand if they had any issues, questions, or concerns. Within 20 or 30 seconds, just about everyone in the classroom raised her or his hand. It was apparent that the students had some concerns, questions, or issues about their results versus the answers given by the alcoholism experts. As an illustration, virtually every person in the class disagreed with the highest ranking answer given by the alcoholism professionals, to be exact, "Do you feel extremely sick when you quit drinking?"
Miss Jackson then told the students in her classroom why this answer was the most unambiguous indicator of alcoholism. She pointed out the fact that the primary difference between alcohol abuse and alcoholism is the physical addiction that is experienced with alcohol addiction and not with alcohol abuse.
Essentially this means that when an alcohol dependent 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 alcohol dependent, the students started to understand the main 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 realized that she had inspired and motivated her students to stop and think about an essential social problem and health issue that exists in our culture.
