The Crandall System is now taught in many schools each year by school staff members who have been a part of the Crandall System in-house school workshops. Although the school's own staff is qualified to teach the program, some schools due to the efforts of members of their administration or staff bring Grand Master Crandall in to directly teach their senior girls many of the key points before they graduate and leave for college, jobs and families of their own. At the Rome school Grand Master Crandall's presentation is due to the efforts of Mrs. Judy Merren. Mrs. Merren is a teacher and also a black belt in the American Martial Arts Institute. Her skills would allow her to assist the physical education department in offering this program. Instead, Mrs. Merren takes the time and makes the arrangements for the school to have the designer of the program come in personally and work with the students. Mrs. Merren's educational concern for the students surpasses just the academics into a concern for the true well being of the students she comes in contact with. Here again, she points out that every opportunity that can be given to secure the lives of the students of her school before they graduate should be taken and this kind of program can make a difference.

Over 80 senior girls were in attendance for the teaching presentation of Grand Master Crandall regarding nonviolent techniques of being safe in the changing world. This program is in its fourth year of being taught in public schools in New York State. The "Just Get Away" program can be taught directly to the students by Grand Master Crandall or, as in the Herkimer County BOCES, can be taught to the physical educational staff of the school so that they can teach the program within their own schedule.

This presentation started with an understanding that what was being covered were not in fact fighting skills, but rather techniques that fulfilled the name of the program which is "Just Get Away." Punches were covered as a point of awareness in how close a hand for safety and how to get the flow of punching.

Mats had been laid out for use in the demonstration, but were not needed for the hands-on participation of the students. The students asked pertinent questions during the entire seminar which demonstrated, along with their enthusiasm, that they wished to know and understand everything they could about protecting themselves. Each student had the opportunity to practice and demonstrate the techniques shown them with individual supervision as to how the technique worked and why.
