Should we learn basic first aid at school?

Hi rainbow2007star, Yes. It is not only a good idea but it is essential that basic skills of first aid should be taught in schools. I wellcome the idea.As you said it will save a life in an emergency. Good Luck.

Yes we should, in school, at home at work. It is a must to everyone.

Yes, this is a good skill that we should be exposed to at a very young age. As young as three, tell children, "If you get hurt, wash it up, get a grownup to help you." Tell kids where to find help in their schools. By nine or ten they can learn bandaging skills and how to stop bleeding without endangering themselves. I think first aid could be part of Health Class or Science Class. In High School it could be an entire class by itself. In Driver's Ed, not only do they need the first aid class, but a defensive driving class as well. Having these skills is very empowering.

yes, it should be there. we should learn basic first aid aty school. it will help us learn those things. also it can come to rescue.

I think it would have been a great thing if we were taught that in school. It would have been very useful to alot of us. You never know when you will have to use it. I never learned the basics of first aid until I worked at one of my jobs and they trained me for it.
