    I really like the use of "trigger words" in education. I don't think it matters if it is used in college or in K12. The whole point is to alert you to a possible trauma causing conversation or topic that could come up in class that could make someone uncomfortable. Unfortunately there are so many triggers in the world today that you could never call out all of them. The teacher made reference to an apple. Who would think that was a trigger? Not I.

Bullying - 2 views

  •  
    School bullying prevention tips. The website includes expanded information on cyber bullying, how to assess situations, and how to get involved. Unfortunately, bullying has evolved into a community involved issue and not just a parenting issue.

    This is a topic that I feel strongly about. I always felt sick to my stomach seeing any type of bullying while I was growing up going to school. I believe that the consequences to students who bully, need to harsher than they are.
  •  
    My wife is a kindergarten teacher and sees "bully" characteristics in her students at such a young age. It is an ongoing issue that I feel most schools disregard even though they have "anti-bullying" rules. It is a scary issue as it not only negatively affects students' academics and school attendance, but also their quality of life. There is also the issue of cyberbullying which allows the bullies to hide their identity and messages being sent via the Internet.
  •  
    I like that this article gives almost a list of what to look for and how to intervene. My wife teaches fifth grade at a public school and every time I walk down the halls I see some form of bullying but am unsure what to do. I usually say something to the kids, but then always wonder if I am overstepping my role because I'm not a teacher or the other student's parent. Also, I ask myself "could I get in trouble if I had to intervene?".
  •  
    Bullying has became a bigger issue than people realize it is, it is sad to see kids get hurt. I like how it gives a list and how to deal with the matter for the children.
  •  
    There are always anti-bullying rules, but how effective are they when students feel they can't come forward? I think there should be more focus on teaching students how to treat each other and that they should intervene if they see someone being harrassed.
  •  
    At the end of the day, bullying is going to keep going until there are more kids stopping it than surrounding the first whipping their phones out to record. Everyone knows deep down that being a bully isn't fun, but who is going to stop that bully? Who is going to make him feel like the dumb one for picking on someone younger than him? That is how you stop bullying.

College textbooks are a racket - The Washington Post - 3 views

  •  
    This text covers how academic publishers sell highly expensive books without risking the chance of a weaker demand because these textbooks are mandatory. New additions are being released constantly to prevent students from buying used and cheaper books.

    It is extremely messed up to charge such high prices for information that the older edition that came out before it had. When purchasing these so called "NEW" textbooks that looks so much alike and sound pretty much the same. The only difference would be the cover, publishing date, etc. Yes I get that that's pretty much how business works but still, if students can get the same information else where, why force them to buy such high priced books?
  •  
    I think we can all relate to this article. It's sometimes mind boggling on how much some of our texts cost even when they are used. It's a business and they need to make money and they do it very well since we have no choice but to buy these books to further our education.
  •  
    College courses require a text book and the suppliers have a hay day with it. They mark up the books because students have no choice but to buy them. It is a never ending income for them because they can update the info so often.
  •  
    It is so bad, when the book is probably made for a few bucks and then turned around a marked up to 150 dollars. Good find.

  • communication is not a barrier to social life

  • This heritage is passed on from one generation to the next via the residential school,
  • Most schools for the deaf use some form of sign language (Padden & Humphries, 1988).
  • 78 residential schools for the deaf or deaf and blind in the United States
  • Parent/Infant program administered by the school provides much needed services until the child is ready to attend
  • child has access to role models who are Deaf.
  • Hearing parents of children who are deaf seem to have greater reluctance about sending their children because they do not want to be separated from them (Scheetz, 1993).
  • Parents who are Deaf themselves often choose a school for the Deaf over local schools because of the opportunity for their child(ren) to participate in the life of the Deaf community and culture
  • Students who are deaf and who attended mainstream schools must continue to prove their allegiance to the Deaf culture if they have chosen participation in adulthood (Reese, 1996).
  • Deaf students who are mainstreamed miss out on the feeling of belonging that individuals from the Deaf culture associate with their residential schools,
  • Mainstreamed students often are singled out in many respects.
  • The students are exposed to deaf adults with various types of careers
  • The residential school is the point of contact for the Deaf culture
  • It is like a home away from home
  • Many students who have attended residential schools and who are members of the Deaf culture will admit to some regret over missing out on a closely knit family life

      the author is biased in their writing and offers a biased perspective of this
  • the curriculum of the typical residential school tends to be less rigorous than that of other schools (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
  • parents tend not to participate in their child's education to a sufficient degree
  •  
    The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.
