Another odd thing I wonder if anyone else notices...when teachers like Ziggy, Marcie, and the one above talk about their students, they refer to them as "my kids" and when they reference their students' parents, they use "the parents."MY kids.THE parents.I think the choice of words is telling.For the record, they aren't "your kid

Louisiana Teacher, Dont mind Little Whip. I think she is jealous that you write in paragraphs; while her idea of a paragraph is a mixed jumbo of rants compiled into two sentences at at time. Either that or she likes to take what you say like "I like Ice Cream" and she turns it into "Oh my God you feeble minded fool, you like torturing cows so you can fulfill your incredible overindulgent non-educated liberalistic mind by having sweets!"

In the end if you want to psychoanalyze why a kid is eating french fries out of the trash, you need to be a psychoanalyst, or at the very least have the accountability of one. That teacher ended up finding that this kid was starving himself. Baker, he was STARVING HIMSELF for his family! He wasnt eating a

What you are saying is that it is your responsibility to watch for all these esoteric problems, but that you can't be held accountable if you don't catch them. It is not my primary job or secondary job or whatever to look out for problems. But, it is within my scope of responsibilities to mention to th

I have been in too many debates online about NCLB to bow to Mr. Romper Room, thanks And yet, you continue to think that you are right about NCLB despite being confronted with actual facts. <TD class="mb-B

What, you think you work for the children? My job isnt to listen to the parents AND bow at their every whim with a hunch in my back saying "yes Mas'sa". Parents and teachers need to work together, not the parent ordering the teacher around. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgC

Asperger's Syndrome. All of these should have been REFERRED TO THE NURSE ON STAFF AT THE SCHOOL The nurse can not diagnose Aspergers Sydrome for one thing.

How much easier would it have been to just say, "Oops. You're right. It's Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. I get the terms mixed up. My bad." I said foot in mouth, LW said "hey...whoa, hold yer horses! Its actually Hand, Foot and Mouth disease to which I said: "it is commonly referred to as Foot

I still have my fingers crossed that Karma will help her to delete her account someday... Well I wrote a fairly long reply earlier, but once again, I lost it when trying to post.

Huh?! I thought that was the very definition of creationism.

ID/creationism is NOT in anyway a scientifically testable theory so even considering it doesn't teach you anything. Cant really test evolution either.

I think knowing how to read, write, and do 'rithmatic would go a lot farther towards expanding one's mind than participating in a parade. ok let me rephrase.

Of course you'd love to pick apart the standards and methods by which you are judged. Of course you'd like to streamline it to the point of meaninglessness. wrong. I already said we support the principals behind NCLB. Its process and the way it works however is in dire need of help. Im alread

I don't know if you are an "educator" or not, frankly, but I know that you are trying to be a lot more, inventing authority that you do not have. I just try to give a damn.

Out of one side of your mouth you openly admit you can't diagnose mental or physical ailments, and out of the other you say it is your job to watch for warning signs. It's facetious.

Bare with me, using Marcies puter and its not letting me quote like normal. "...but when kids graduate high school at a 4th grade reading level it is because the parents didn't work with them enough." Ask a student who graduates at such a low reading level, and they will most likely tell you that they dont read at home or hardly ever. Everyone knows that practice improves skills already learned. Failure to practice yeilds low results. A

No where did he use the word "diagnose" or even infer it. He never said I was diagnosing, but he said I was suggesting kids be checked out for disorders. Im not a doctor so I cant tell a parent that I feel their child has x symptom or z disease because I simply do not know. However, if I see something
