Assertiveness

The students all have such a good time with role plays and group discussions,(with lots of laughter)  learning how to be assertive and saying 'No' when necessary. Then comes the serious part: thinking about keeping themselves safe from abuse. We dealt with two groups (boys and girls separately with over 100 boys and about 90 girls). They are cooperative and respectful and we move through smoothly. Temperatures are now into the 30's and we were under a corrugated metal roof. It was a sauna! Even the water in my drinking bottle was at room temperature. Plus those concrete floors are hard on the feet and knees!
