In W.A.I.T Training students learn healthy relationship skills and consequences of premature sexual activity that affect not only the body, but also the heart and mind as well. They are challenged to think beyond today, to set goals for the future, and to come to value abstinence and marriage as the healthy choice. In our project each school is free to decide how and when W.A.I.T. Training will be implemented. There is at least one trained instructor in each school. I am available to team teach as needed.
Some schools go through science classes, others through electives.
Classroom attendance is recorded for each student. Parents are notified by mail before the program is taught in their child's school. This is a character education curriculum for today's teens through literature short stories and poetry, both classic and contemporary. Abstinence grant funding is allowing the placement of student books in the classrooms of the teacher who are trained to teach The Art of Living Well Parents and teachers are major influences on teenagers and shape their attitudes and actions. A primary focus of the Madison County Schools project is to reach parents, to encourage them in their role as the primary influence on their teens relating to issues of character and equality.
