Ok, for health we are learning about decision making, now everyone gets a problem and you have to thing of three alternative answers and make a chart of if the alternatives are healthy. I want to have a really unique, smart answer. Here's the problem I got:
Joe's best friend's dad is going to give Joe a ride home from the football game Friday night. Joe's friend's dad, shows up wasted (drunk, hammered, ect.).
Now I want some really creative answers to what Joe can do as an alternative. I already thought of the obvious:
Say no and call someone else, ask someone else for a ride, walk home, ect. Now, I really want to think of something creative to say. Something that not everyone else in the class will think of. does anyone have any suggestions?
*I already thought of hitch-hiking, but that didnt go over with the teacher too well.

You have two big problems with this situation: you need a safe ride home....and Joe's dad needs to be kept off the road (what if it's your Mom,Dad, sister, etc who is hit and killed because the hammered guy was driving. And is Joe going to ride with him?)You are in a position to possibly save your own life and the lives of many others. Personally, I would call the police to make sure he doesn't drive (if he just refuses to acknowledge his condition). Call your parents and ask for advice and help. Get ahold of a responcible adult and ask for help. You are at a football game and should be surrounded by adults....from parents to coaches....anyone. This is potentially a life or death situation.

Why would you want to throw away opportunities to benefit yourself? How can you feel any satisfaction, if you don't come up with an answer on your own?

The purpose of having students do work like this, is to get them to use their own brains! You obviously already know how to pick those of others! Be more concerned with benefiting from the exercise. Quit worrying whether someone else might think of the same thing or not. The important thing is that you do it Yourself! So, think of it as an excersize. When people exersize --whether to build muscle or gray-matter-- someone else doing the exersize for them doesn't do them Any good!

Quit competeing, & start learning ...
