Rejected petition Lets get first aid training in schools and sign language !
We need to get first aid into schools ! This can potentially save lives ! Any day you can be faced with a situation where you wouldnt know what to do ! But panic ! Knowing basic first aid can stop this ! And save someone !
More details
In schools we are teaching our children olanguages like Russian , German , Spanish ... I was taught two of the above yet ive never used any of them my whole life ?! Some people may ! ... But what we should have in schools ! What our children would benefit from is learning first aid and sign language ! ... We are more likely to come across someone in need of first aid then having to speak a language ! .. Having that knowledge alone can save a life !! .. Most people panic in situations unaware of what to do ! Knowing basic training can potentially save a life ! Lets get this in schools ! You never know when its needed !
