Shannon's Response

I also agree that the social norms posters are ridiculous. The quiz itself I don't think is accurate at all, even though they "claim" they have a secret way to tell who lied or not on the test...people still mess with it or don't take it seriously. I know last time I had to was sophomore year and my teacher encouraged us to take it as quickly as possible, and to basically fill in the bubbles without looking at the question sheet. Then, the poster advertisement all over the school is ridiculous as well. 3 out of 5 is not really a percentage to be proud of. I understand the point is to alert everyone that not all of Fremd drinks, but a poster saying 40% of Fremd students drink is not the way to get the message across. I think the meaning of the posters is a good message, but our statistics don't help the message. Until Fremd thinks of a better way to either discourage underage drinking, or let people know they're not alone if they don't drink, the posters should be taken down since they're not helping the situation.
