in backyards: TDD: How do you work on acceptance of students with special needs? I work in a self-contained classroom of students with special needs, but we join general education classes for specials, lunch, recess, and the last hour of the day in our grade level homeroom classes. Yesterday in P.E., a gen. ed. girl said she didn’t want both of my kids on her team, it was only…
Would it have been fair for both special education students to be on the same team? Or would it have been a massive handicap to her enjoyment/success in the activity?

A single company owns the exclusive patent on the BRCA 1 and 2 mutations—and jacks up the price for a $200 genetic test for breast cancer risk to $3,000, just because they can. In the wake of Angelina Jolie’s well-intention exhortation for “every woman” to explore their risk of breast cancer, one company stands to make a staggering profit.

This is me. I tell my students this! If you don’t believe in yourself, WHO WILL?

Why French kids don’t have ADHD
“In the United States, at least 9% of school-aged children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and are taking pharmaceutical medications. In France, the percentage of kids diagnosed and medicated for ADHD is less than .5%. How come the epidemic of ADHD—which has become firmly established in the United States—has almost completely passed over children in France?”

:with love and squalor: Why I'm not attending my masters graduation I’m supposed to graduate from Johns Hopkins this Thursday (does it count as my graduation even if I’m not going?). I’m not going. There are a number of reasons for this, though I kind of regret not registering. Yes, I am still getting my diploma from Hopkins with a 4.0 GPA and my graduate degree…
Am I the only one who doesn’t actually see the ‘why’ in this post.

I want honest answers, feedback, whatever!
I am really interested in doing Teach for America for Southern Louisiana, specifically Baton Rouge.
I want to know how it is. I want the raw, uncut, it sucks, it’s awesome, kind of feedback. I want to to know if I should put all aside, the stuff I’ve read about living in Baton Rouge and just close my eyes and do it.Please?
1. Why are you really interested in it?
2. Why do you want to be a teacher?
3. What is your background?
The answer is you probably shouldn’t do it. The stuff you have read is mostly true.

HEY U GUYS WANNA KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE ME/A GIRL & DO THINGS LIKE TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT??? well watch this and see what happened to me on the bus today (movie thrills await!!)
UghhhhhHHHHHHHhhhhh the worst kind of bus ride
This practically gave me a panic attack just watching. I don’t take transit for this reason, and I still get shit like this just walking down the street. Thank you for recording this. I can’t even move in situations like this.
THIS IS WHY I DON’T RIDE THE BUS ALONE. it’s terrifying to me. i hate talking to strangers it’s so awful. and i feel bad not being able to go anywhere by myself, but i’d rather annoy a couple of my friends than brave this alone.
THIS. fuck it is so goddamn terrifying especially when you’re being outnumbered. sometimes you just have to take transportation alone and when it happens, this is pretty much the gist of it. so don’t EVER tell us we’re overreacting.
And people wonder why I have such bad social anxiety
Was going to say I also regularly attract crazy people until about a minute in when the guy touches the filmer. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
