Rutgers Preparatory School (a junior-senior prep high school) is bracing for the war as well.

Critical Thinking Questions for Teachers:

1) As the letter infers, the federal government has yet to issue civilian defense  instructions.  From your review of other documents on this site, is Rutgers Preparatory School prepared, overly prepared, or ill-prepared to deal with the war?

2) Would it be expected that students at this prep school would have the same interest in civilian defense as their college counterparts?
