Racism - What I don't Understand
(25 Messages)
Are we supposed to be a colorblind society? Or, are we supposed to recognize racial background? If the former, don't we denigrate what it means to be of color in this country and deny an individual's heritage? If the latter, aren't we perpetuating and promoting ethnoracial differences? Food for thought. Chew away. (Applies to all -isms actually) Don't forget to just say NO to playoffs. The CheeseHusker

Do you have any successful discipline techniques to use for elementary students when they do not obey the rules? Thanks, Nancy
Lynn: Discipline problem Giant myth
(9 Messages)
There is a perception that the next Giants coach needs to be a strict disciplinarian, because discipline is something Jim Fassel's Giants lack. That perception, Giants defensive coordinator Johnnie Lynn said yesterday, is "a flat-out lie." "This team doesn't lack any kind of discipline, it lacks wins," Lynn said. "It doesn't lack any kind of thing here or there, it lacks wins on the left-hand column. It doesn't say, 'Hey, we weren't disciplined enough.' That's malarkey.& ...

My son Cam is 3 1/2 now and Ive written for advice before about his high strung behavior and the trouble others have had when they babysat him. It is to the point now where I am ready to go full speed ahead to find out what the hell is wrong with him. I dont mean to sound so harsh about my own child but I seriously have never seen anything like this in my whole life. He is the middle of 3 boys and the other 2 arent even close to being as obsessive as him. I am going to do the allergy testing and ...

The Center for Court Innovation To monitor the effectiveness of the program, McDonald periodically runs the names of participants through the criminal database to see if any have been re-arrested. Results so far have been promising. From September 2003, when the program began, to January 2004, McDonald met with 59 soon-to-be-former inmates (who collectively had literally hundreds of criminal convictions) and 53 agreed to go to a halfway house outside of the downtown area.
Education World ?® Professional Development Center: Tools for When you are presenting a lesson to the class, students tend to be relatively attentive. That's the easy part of the lesson. When you make the transition to Guided Practice and ask students to "work independently," the hard part begins. Typically, you're met with hands waving in the air -- the same hands every day; the same students saying the same thing: "I don't know what to do here." These are your helpless handraisers.
You cannot spend 4-5 minutes tutoring each needy student during Guided Practice! If you do, you will nag, nag, nag, while producing a half-dozen chronically helpless students. Rather, you must simplify corrective feedback so it can be brief. That can be done in two ways: Reduce tutoring to a simple prompt. A prompts answers the question, "What do I do next?" Make your point in one or two sentences. Get in and get out. The less said the better. Substitute a picture for the verbiage that typically accompanies your explanation. A picture really is worth a thousand words. If students ...

Evolution in education Ed Jernigan is always one step ahead of you. I learned this by arriving early at Second Cup for our interview so I could secure his usual extra hot latté and get on his good side. To my disappointment, Jernigan was already seated and took the liberty of filling the travel mug himself. Lesson learned: one must research endlessly and execute flawlessly — and apparently arrive more than 15 minutes early — when up against someone as capable as Ed Jernigan. Professor of systems design engineering, Jernigan has distinguished the University of Waterloo once more by founding a new degree option, ...
Cowboys out to make the 'D' big once again It's not so much that this NFL training camp figures to be so intense under laid-back head coach Wade Phillips, whom owner Jerry Jones hired in February after Bill Parcells retired following four seasons in Dallas. Rather, it's about the accountability Ware feels to do everything possible to live up to Super Bowl expectations in what amounts to the most important camp of the third-year pro's career.
As the featured chess piece on Dallas' defensive board, Ware wants to live up to the hype as Phillips' figurative Cowboy boot who kicks quarterback butt. Ware will reprise the role of the roving blitzer — played by Shawne Merriman when Phillips implemented his scheme with the San Diego Chargers — in the fast and furious attack, which resulted in a league-high 61 sacks in 2006.
Nick Saban ReIntroduced To SEC Football Chris was I think Mr. Football in the state of Alabama when we recruited him. Larry Smith from Prattville, Alabama, had a fantastic career there at Prattville High School. Led them to a state championship last year. He's just what we order for a quarterback. He's very athletic. He's got a great arm. He's got a great head for it. He's been in summer school for two sessions now. Has made great progress learning our offense from Chris and Mackenzi Adams, our other quarterback. We expect big things out of him.
COACH JOHNSON: Well, the clock rules, I'm glad they're going back. I spent a lot of time talking about them really, to tell you the truth, last year. But I think it was good decisions, like Rogers has said, to try to save time when the clock is stopped, get things going a little more efficient there than messing with the actual seconds of the game. So I'm glad they changed those back.
