Education Is the Key to a Better Quality of Life for Women - 0 views

  •  
    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

Study Finds Majority of Kids Lagging in Cognitive Skills By 3rd Grade - 1 views

  •  
    A recent report released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation suggests that only about one-third of children in grade school meet expectations in cognitive ability by 3rd grade. Additionally, children from low-income families were much less likely to be on track in areas such as physical development, social/emotional growth, and school engagement. The report noted a distinct relation between family education and earnings. According to the data collected from families of children under the age of 8, half of the families who earned a higher income had a head of household with at least a 4-year college degree. In contrast, the head of household in the majority of low-income families had at best a high school diploma.

    This is such a shame, and I am sure this is very frustrating for both parents and teachers. I really enjoyed helping in my daughters' classes but did see firsthand students who were struggling. Funding for education is not where it should be so classes don't have aides and assistants to spend extra time working with kids who need additional help.

Physician Assisted Suiced - Reasons for Opposing Physician Assisted Suicide - 0 views

  •  
    "Even with improved access to quality end-of-life care, there will still be rare cases of persistent and untreatable suffering. The most recent statistics we have from Oregon (2007), where PAS is legal, show that 88% of patients who opted for PAS were on hospice. That proves hospice and palliative care aren't always sufficient to treat severe suffering."

    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.
  •  
    This site has a ton of information on bullying and how to deal with it. Preventing bullying is a top thing in our country and this site gives some good information on every aspect.

COVID-19 Impact: Healthcare workers Burnout - 4 views

  •  
    While the number of COVID 19 case continues to rise, Healthcare workers are succumbing to overwhelming pressure on their shoulders. Many hospitals, clinics, and labs are short-staffed with restricted resources at hand to properly treat patients who have the virus. Often times, this leads to non COVID 19 related issues to be pushed aside due to the conditions and priorities these facilities have enforced. They are experiencing stress, frustration, depression, loneliness, and many other concerns that could impact their performance on the front lines.

    I am so grateful for our healthcare workers. Times are tough right now. Health cares workers are on the frontline of this pandemic.
  •  
    This is an interesting article, It would be good to have a comparison with previous data from healthcare workers reviewing their stress levels before the pandemic to the data from the article and see what the difference is in their quality of life and their opinion of the healthcare system.
  •  
    I'm so blessed for these health care workers, My mom is a nurse and she's even traveling to help with covid. I always feel so bad watching my mom so exhausted from wearing 2 masks and trying to keep my dad who is high risk safe.

    Gender equality is a litmus test for quality of life. The lack of equality for women in a given society perpetuates a number of negative impacts. Inequality threatens a woman's ability to earn an adequate wage and breeds violence.
