In relation to the drug and alcohol abuse video, I found many aspects of it disturbing.  Specifically, I thought that it was hard to believe that so many parental rights were taken away because the parents use of meth.  I always knew that alcohol was a big problem in most homes, but I had no idea about meth.  I also think that as a teacher it is good to know about the statistics of parental drug use.  For example, the video mentioned that parents who abuse drugs are 4 times more likely to neglect their children and 3 times more likely to either physically or sexually abuse their children.  As teachers, we should try to look for the signs of either alcohol and/or drug use in students' parents.  I personally think that if children grow up in a household where they view their parents doing any type of drugs, they will be more likely to do drugs themselves.  Therefore, I think it is important to do drug prevention strategies at younger ages.  The content of information should increase as the student gets older, but I think it's important to help the children understand early of the negative effects drugs can have on one's body.  In a classroom, these issues of drug and alcohol abuse, in my opinion, will keep a teacher busy in terms of constantly making sure that the child can go home to a safe environment and be with a healthy family.
