Extractions: Join the Discussion "I don't have a solution to the big picture of teenage violence but I do feel this particular act could have been prevented IF someone had taken this kid seriously. With all the school shootings over the last several years, why no one believed him is beyond me. Having a gun should never be a joking matter, and if someone tells you they are taking a gun to school (or anywhere for that matter), TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!! "It is such a tragedy. And again, someone heard the warning signs, but did nothing because they believed the child when he said, he was just kidding. Something this serious should have been reported to the parents or school. Another thing I keep hearing is the parents should be accountable for this kids behavior. We are good parents here, we have done all we can to help our damaged kids, but it scares me that we would be accountable to the same punishment for something my kid would choose to do."

She answered their questions, from how to obtain a driver's license to where to buy ethnic foods and where to take a sick child. She also provided them with a forum to learn from each other's experiences as new Americans by starting a support group, the Refugee Women's Alliance. During her tenure with the National Rapid Response Corps, Argentina served long hours with numerous families whose homes and lives were ravaged by natural disasters. But her greatest accomplishments came in volunteer recruitment. The Miami Red Cross had a critical need for health care and mental health professionals trained in disaster response. Argentina put together a disaster response plan and recruited team members, doubling the number of nurses and mental health professionals available to assist with disasters.

STATISTICS [ NEWS RELEASES ] WELCOME NEW SCHOOLS HOW TO ORDER READING COMPREHENSION SUPPLEMENTS SUPPORT MATERIALS FIRST GRADERS PROVE COMPANION READING PROGRAM REALLY WORKS by Carri P. Jenkins, Associate Editor, OF NOTE, a Brigham Young University Publication, Issue-July 1990 In small pockets around the United States and the United Kingdom, reading scores are making astounding gains thanks to a program developed by a BYU professor. Considered somewhat of a maverick, Dr. Grant Von Harrison realized 14 years ago-long before "holistic" learning was in voguethat simply dividing children into ability groups and then assigning them to basal readers was not working. "Thirty years ago the assumption was made that children's needs would better met by ability grouping," says Harrison, a professor of instructional science, as well as education. "But research conducted over the past 15 years has consistently demonstrated that the assumed benefits are not being realized and that some students are actually penalized." Based upon these observations and the research he had conducted as an instructional scientist, Harrison developed a whole new method of teaching- one that did away with ability grouping and basal readers as the sole source of reading material.

Extractions: Vol 2, No 2 - April 2001 Link Between MMR Shots and Autism Disputed A theory that children develop autism as a result of having had measles-mumps-rubella vaccination is generating concern in both lay and medical communities, according to researchers who set out to determine to determine if there is any connection. First floated in Great Britain in the late 1990s by a medical investigative group, the theory holds that the combined vaccine given in early infancy may cause the developmental condition known as autism, which normally surfaces when children are 18 to 19 months of age, shortly after they have completed their vaccinations. Because autism is so difficult a condition for parents to accept, and because it is incompletely understood by medical practitioners, theories about its cause have been wide-ranging, from coldness in mothers to failure of parts of the brain to develop during pregnancy. In light of the serious implications for vaccine practice of the latest theory, a group of researchers in the California Department of Health reviewed the immunization coverage rates of children born between 1980 and 1994 who were enrolled in California kindergartens, to determine the age at which they first received MMR vaccinations. Those data were then compared with autism caseloads of children born in the same years who were enrolled in the California Department of Developmental Services regional service center system. They found that although there were only modest increases in the rates of immunization during those years, the numbers of autism cases increased markedly. This led the researchers to conclude that the difference is so wide that it's hard to see any connection.

Extractions: WASHINGTON One in six parents of disabled children has considered suing or has threatened to sue the child's school district to get services, a poll shows. The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.

Extractions: NASHUA Katie Hanna couldnt always get through to her daughter, Mary, while the girl was upset when she was younger. Her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and related language delays sometimes stood in the way of effective communication. But Hanna eventually discovered a way to reach her daughter at such times. When Mary became so frustrated that she couldnt listen, Hanna would stop talking. Having regained her daughters attention, Hanna would use American Sign Language. Both she and Mary had learned basic signs to help them communicate with a friends hearing-impaired son. The shift from verbal to physical language forced Mary to stop and look at what her mother was doing. In this way, Mary was better able to hear what was being said. When she was younger, sign language helped bridge the gap, Hanna said. It helped her calm down and communicate. Based on such successful experiences with her daughter, who is now 8, and her friends son, Hanna was moved to create a sign language kit to help fellow education majors at Rivier College learn how to integrate ASL into classroom settings.
