Results of the Talks
At the end of every talk we have the students complete a quick survey consisting of a few questions. This allows us to monitor the effectiveness of the talks on the students and the quality of the presentation.
We then tabulate the results and file them for later reference as needed.
Some schools ask if we can send the results back to them after tabulation and of course we will certainly do this.
Here are some of the results:

Thank you very much for making Narconon Drug Education part of your curriculum this year. As you saw the children listened very intently as to what was being said and that they had many questions to ask. Just as important the teachers also got to see first hand the quality of our program and the impact it makes on those who see it.
To get the full benefits of this Drug Education Program it is important that we maintain consistency of delivery, that way we ensure the children receive all the information we can give them, and can then make informed decisions.
With this in mind I am looking forward to continuing our association and will call you to organize further talks in 2009.
