RIGHT NOW LETS TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT “ WORDS: DECENCY AND TRUTH” IS !
You know, just because people used texts to communicate for decades now does not mean you do not need to be aware of the words you use when speaking to another. Saying suggestive words like –don’t you think, shouldn’t we, what we should do….moves others to action.
When you use words and phrases like, How about?… we
Shoot her in the face??????????
Shoot through the news/journalist sections ??????????
I will protect them …even when they do not want it??????????
…eat watermelon—I love that watermelon & it does not get any whiter than this. But because HE said it! Because it was a piggish comment, I might change my taste in the future.
(People) are garbage floating in the ocean?????—Stop this–there is plenty of the real stuff—seems our kids never learned to pick up after themselves & pollution in our outdoor environment is in excess already.
(Isn’t it interesting- the cowardice of a man …or groups of AMERICANS? I just cannot believe this. To pick intentionally on the Puerto Rican population—you do know this group of AMERICANS does not have “a independent personal (1) vote”. So it was selective to pick on this group and/or this whole population of Americans– to insult them. This rotten bully-when they could not fight back with their VOTE. Because they had none, now. This will change for sure in our future!!!!
***This is not decent and not truthful….it is disgusting, piggish and just pure rotten. AND, who would vote for that….garbage spewing out of a deceitful and rich persons small mouth. Must be the $$$$ speaking, huh? If that is the case—I am thankful to be poor.
I am so glad that right now there is nothing more important than to VOTE for words, decency, and truth. So you do not like a policy, did you always like the rules at home? Do not be stubborn and foolish—The future will have a lot of changes—bet on the future and goodness-once it returns. Then….
Our next step is to get to THAT TABLE. Then, to bring to it the pathway to enlighten others— because we are moving right along. First in our—US Education –to SAVE our KIDS, SAVE our Teachers, Heal our Parents and Recovery Reading Skills for Equality and Inclusion. Then on –to address a meaningful direction for the “well health” of all.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT! And…by the way, watch how far you get with destructive and horrific behaviors in our population today. It’s soon to be over! As we begin to recover and collectively change what is to be acceptable, respectful communications also. Significant changes will follow with our simple work—-Mark my WORDS! IT TIME WE SIT AT THAT TABLE!
I feel our TEACHERS–truly I feel you! I have been writing here for years but I guess I write to much about our “SUCCESS” in Education to help the Kids at Risk AND not enough of HOW TO REMOVE BLAME FROM OUR TEACHERS. Honestly, I do not know how teachers can teach in the classrooms today. You can’t! But I do know exactly the help that we can bring to your kids and your classroom to make teaching possible again in the very near future. Read our Testimonials–from teachers, parents and principals also—then get us to Pres. Kamala Harris’s TABLE. Demand the US DOE & Your STATE DOE to meet with us there too.
Together we will greet a new tomorrow for teachers and students with (1) new inclusive exciting mechanical program for Kids to read as their peers do and at grade level soon. This simple short program is real short & real effective. –This one kids love & they will all enjoy getting this done. Then our TEACHERS with thrive too and parents can rest easier also. www.myfuturevisioninc.com
We, FVYD are waiting –where is that TABLE?
Only a phone call to the US DOE or one made from your PTA too the State/FED. Board of Education Office 1-800-872-5327. All in one place would even be best to get the job done . We, FVYD are here and ready to make your teaching career a lot more fun & kids a whole lot more receptive to you also. These kids we RECOVER are SMART and have been waiting to learn from ALL their teachers for years.
Thank you for Teaching our Kids! You are all very special to do that in these chaotic times!
Yes! That statement is true! –The Public has the WRONG opinion of their teachers! Instead, due to our failures we make TEACHERS our focus for blame. (Parent’s inability to control or keep their kids’ safe puts blame on teacher -as that person responsible for the failing of our youth). When Teachers try to hold their children and youth accountable then, Parent’s attack them for it, and also, for their own failing at home. When PARENTS HAVE LOST CONTROL of their own kids, THE FINGERPOINTING HAS BECOME NOTHING BUT CYCLIC NEGATIVITY FOR THE PAST 2 DECADES. (Our young children have now had decades of Dr. Spock. No discipline or control at home)—This is just wrong. Kids need parents to have a “guiding firmness.” Instead, we have our 1-6 yr. old kids controlling parents & selectively eating-where is the nutrition in that, now in school, too. All the burdens now are on the Teachers.
In FACT: Neither are to be blamed nor the child either!
There is so much more on the causes for the blame and all of it is misplaced. That is right –the blame should be on Education Management & US DOE ignorance. Looking for the RIGHT answer for blame go there! If you want the Solution, go here, www.myfuturevisioninc.com see testimonials.
So to answer this comment correctly- It is that the US Dept of Education who will not consider the solution Pres. Obama suggested. This Non-profit 501c3 has that ESSA solution to share for the past 2 decades- that will change Education from now & forward. But the door is locked by pride and prejudice. Let’s share this simple work with a DEI perspective instead!
And make Education what it should be in the future—a SAFE PLACE TO LEARN FOR ALL!
Let’s get our kids back attending School & healthy-mentally being there -so they can actually enjoy it! Wouldn’t that be different! By D. Parker Pres. FVYD
For our kids, they’re not being present in school is currently a path to nowhere—for our kids–that has to change!
I get a nagging pain in my gut with this notice from the US DOE (this time Posted on Linked- in) suggesting they want to know how to improve on Attendance in Schools.
I could not hold back, the answer is simple “JUST FIX THE PROBLEM.”
I am very tired of their US Educator Management Team wanting new ideas on how to solve this problem. They do not have any means to fix it & the ONE we have for the US DOE that does correct the problem-they ignore. Even when our short program that fixes most kids issues who stay out from school is simple…so simple. Educators won’t look!
When schools keep calling the parents, they soon isolate the parents. Parents have to work-so they may yell at their kids and this futile cycle begins again & again. Then many teens just disconnect or disrespect their parents & do not go to school anyway. This is unsafe for all.
When kids stay home & out of school (& for teens that means often out on the streets)! Every year when Absenteeism is brought up– it is not resolved It is bigger than the kids just staying home chronically sick—maybe the young ones in elementary school are ill. But not the teens, they are not all physically sick. A large percentage are emotionally sick of being bored in school or bullied there. When they are out of school Teens do not stay home- they wander and/or hang out with others who share the same fate. This has been a danger to them- as idle minds try to keep busy & with this struggle that is not always easy. And soon, they become a safety problem for their parents who try to work (some two jobs). How long can this go on & the teens stay safe? Parents…ever had your liquor bottles watered down?… or pills taken! I worked youth crisis-you be amazed how creative these smart kids are!
The number is more than 6% of students out on a given day prior to COVID & bigger 6% -12% after COVID. It is NOT a new problem. COVID did not make it worse -the problem never changed. COVID MADE IT OK -better even to stay home. School had always been hard for these youth & even bad (i.e., unhealthy) for this large group of kids after 3rd grade.
Elementary: Those young kids with chronic poor health are few in number. While others are always anxious at school many have gastroenteritis or headaches a lot. While others just worry themselves sick. (I have talked with several of these kids on that youth crisis unit).
Middle: When teens stay home for bullying (e.g., sent home), and/or from being bullied and/or gossiped about or out due to poor grades; they are ill. They also stay out as teens -due to poor clothes or just because they are feeling poor i.e., depressed to death literally-from not being included in the peer groups they want to be included in.
Adolescents may even worry that others might see they have no reading skills. So, they isolate. They can’t go to group studies or anywhere to expose that or any limitation to their peers. Anxiousness become a living norm. Then on top of this, Educators make new names for them like Dyslexia and ADD etc. & think you are doing them a favor. You do not know how to fix this Absenteeism problem, so why continue doing this! When it is doing more harm than good. Like they need another reason to fail, more. It is time we wake up & fix the FIRST problem that causes all of the above ones mentioned here.
And instead return them for a NEW QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CLASSROOM!
As you know me by now, I have had this answer here at Future Visions Youth Dev. Inc. FVYD Org. 207-236-4736 for decades. SEE here the Testimonials www.myfuturevisioninc.com –and with just this very short inclusion program for you -as was suggested by ESSA:2015 Obama FED LAW -& it is time the US & State DOE does its job!
ASIDE: I expect we will be talking with Pres. Obama & K. Harris Pres./ T. Walz VP very soon about all of this denial of ESSA Fed. Law -done for years by the US/State DOE with 501c3 Non-profit Essa Innovative initiative NEW programs!
When Asked this Question by a Reading Tutor: I though more about this Response (10/2024:DP)!
QUESTION–What to do for kids who cry when you want them to try to read in 1st grade?
Children get anxious when they cannot do a task & before peers. So, the behavioral symptoms might suggest– I would stop pushing the child and use picture books, let them play with large letters to make a word – (from a paper with a list of words) and/or do mazes or throw bean bags in buckets at different distances with a pal — that kind of play. These would help reading skills strengthen also.
ASIDE: When I started this Reading Research work in 1991, There was no internet, no references from 4 libraries on the “Reading topic” either. About 4 years later I found the solution with the help of several professionals…We fixed the problem for 1 child. I went back to being a mom & Laboratory Director for a large 3500 samples/day Medical Reference Lab. In 1996, I founded a Non-profit 501c3 & had 3 Subject Matter Expert SME doctors at my dining room table for 3 yrs. With their expertise & mine – we put the program together & ran it in Florida schools successfully. I have worked in this new unique field for 33 years & meanwhile went after a Behavioral master’s and a PhD in Public Service Leadership PSL (stopped by; University FSA fraud & with data now collected -unpublished).
So, you want to address this 1st grade issue, here is my opinion! I am sure there is not much successful data out there yet 10/2024 as we have just started asking teachers to begin student reading now in Pre-K. They have always tried reading in 1 & 2nd grades with not much success (noted in 2010; then for that 17% of students below basic level). So now we start in Pre-K (2024; for our 40% failing to reach basic reading level today). What are we expecting!!!
I answered this below, with a bit more knowledge about reading skills & behavior -as Teachers do not have that answer, yet. Teachers teach reading well (when skills are working). Then they can use phonics, vocabulary and moving students toward the understanding of words in context- to improve fluency).
ANSWER : 1st Grade Readers
Genetics may be a factor for who reads early- Data, we expect will prove this. Kids should be reading by late 2nd -early 3rd grade (but for some who have reversals of letters). That is about the age when the visual system-stabilizes & develops to function effectively with the reading skills working & the mechanical- functioning that are required to read. And…with Fluency and Comprehension soon to follow. (*Answer will be updated should reported data soon change this response, DP).
