Curriculum casualties are happening every single day in our schools while our administrators busy themselves rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. If your child can’t read on grade level, they can’t learn on grade level. Demand they stop ignoring science to the detriment of our children.

Cursive: Reasons It Should Be Taught Today & the Science Behind It

I totally agree it should be taught. And It’s so much easier than print for kids with fine & visual motor integration problems

Cursive: Reasons It Should Be Taught Today & the Science Behind It It is a grave mistake to believe that keyboard fi*****ng fluency will develop minds of students as much as traditional cursive handwriting lessons once did.

Guide: Motivating Defiant Asperger's Kids

Guide: Motivating Defiant Asperger's Kids "I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was 12 and often had trouble waking up. When I didn't wake up in the morning, my dad would come in and flip my mattress. If I didn't do my homework, I got grounded from video games.

When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditioned organization’s and clubs.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.

For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people.

Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface.

Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value enough. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!

If you choose, please copy and paste this in honor of all children who are deemed "different". Our world would be far less beautiful without them.
