This one again? Certain this was one of the first posts because that school, this administration was on my mind.
This time posting, there's a link since the way I see is how it entered in shards & thus must exit the same way, in pieces, bits disseminated all throughout the www, where the trauma truly began since above all else; who are you? Are you IT = Indescribable Trauma or just the pronoun used to say, "I do not acknowledge what you did or said. I do not acknowledge you're a human being." That's one way to dampen that "person" whose behavior suggests otherwise.

You can't get much more uniform as that!

something I found in a binder as I put together resources for autism.
I could not complete [big idea] but want to preserve & share.

Let's start at the origin. I really like words & poem #2 should be up by Sunday, August 25th. It's really easy when you have future time, but first you need ABC & 1, 2, 3 & other prerequisite skills for learning.
I already took all the notes necessary & it required two non-traditional post-it notes (see if vid--coming) & the rest is up to you.

Booklists are forever!
To this site, with the most followers, I'm providing a video & realize my last name is right there, on the Writer Workshop binder for after school. The classroom is 313 & never knowing if I ever make the right decisions with where to go to school, where to live, what to be, I looked for signs & followed my gut.
It all worked out since 313 is where I'm from.
This video will lead you to all the spaces created in the past to contain the methodology or at the very, the difference in how I took notes, how I talked, how I was after violence, repeated & done publicly in one space, done privately in another.
These words PUBLIC or PRIVATE confusing, but I've worked on it & I know what names to share (the ones you get goods or services from, those that represent our best in each city like teachers, police & fire!) & which ones not to---them.
I do make mistakes so I own them, but twice, the universe aligned & made me double-check. One was an uploading video that had my name in it that got stuck & hadn't finished. I didn't recognize it, adrenaline went up & I didn't freeze, I did something. I deleted it. Phew. The 2nd time was when I said "ITs" name (I don't respect IT as anything, but now that's a pronoun to identify a person, so I don't mean any disrespect, but I've been using IT to say, "no respect" for way longer than identifying a person). Then, it turned to "I"ndescribable "T"rauma and when you can deSCRIBE it, it does dissipate, diminish, dilute & sometimes disappears!
This is the goal. To never think of them, be affected by them, be transported by them. Another pronoun. Just means "not us." When I typed in that word, the American flag would pop up & I will putting those pictures, the motivation to look up only by this symbol for independence & morality because we say the words to inspire kids & being a school teacher, the American flag and what the presidency means, must mean something. How we treat each other. How we represent the most vulnerable & at-risk population in any social setting (a school, a party, a workplace). How do you know you're American?
If you find the pages, it's a note-taking assignment. Also a typing in the magnifying glass section & last, a commitment to tapping which hurts my body & if you do all that, with my chronic pain, I can instantly trust you. Wait! That means nothing, but to an ignorant lizard-brain body, that's what IT means.
All the ways to rebuild trust after violence will be shared, but that doesn't mean you don't have ideas either. You don't have stories to share. You don't hope to one day not live with what I'm calling sensory on replay, or ptsd (pics, touches, sounds "diss"ordered because what you see, feel & hear simply honest match my own) better known as SHOCK & AWE.
Shock to the sensory. Awe at how easy this'll be since I got my words back & can hear my voice & why this video represents that. A BIG PERIOD to say, "I'm done. I won. I don't have to trust everyone."
:)

It's pretty clear that I'm writing again not using spaces online to contain whatever bubbles up since that's what happens when one (a) can't hear own voice (b) can't sit quietly without sensory overload (c) can't organize and hold a single thought let alone more than one (d) can't visualize e.g. mental math (e) rife with fear [of the same behavior happening before one act of what I'm calling "kindness" or a *reasonable accommodation.
Google ADA* if confused. I don't teach anymore.
For those in this curriculum, the Q&A time is over (not that I'm not interested in "helping" you understand), but how much time do ya need to answer a question?
GOAL met : 2 days ago, Saturday, August 5th.
NEXT GOAL : Assess the endocrine system just like comparing the 1st & 2nd time in UK because the lambing season is a very good way to know if better/worse because the sheep sense every iota of energy you put out there & I got closer to them with their lambs, knowing assessments is the scientific method.
Why I believe returning to that school, never working in another neighborhood before, with the same grade levels, in a way sane kids & families since I potentially have my students (K-4) for 5 years & the only difference was the administration.
Thank you for the warning of the principal who said, "don't give in to these parents! Don't forget, we don't hand pick our students! Don't get dismayed over the test scores because we teach all kids [when Alcott had the lottery]" & on & on.
It's clear, to change policies I have to share how I got here & who is IN & who is OUT [& why].
There is a video of my student who was denied at-home services, lied to by the regional director of special ed, Eric McCabe & since I know that's not true, I went their home & read them the same story ("Cooper's Big Bear Hug") & the question was, "why haven't you memorized this?"
It's the people around me willing to speak up about what they noticed during this recovery that have helped the most. It's the people around me getting intel about what they noticed during my recovery that have harmed the most.
Now, my third & final curriculum, LIVE.
& the last post on FB to remind me, *start here.
Letter writing is extremely important & why it's CHAPTER ONE.
08/04/2024
Since I did get a response to "who is this person?" that's put away & I'll just create a timeline of dates & length of what was caught to contain ALL THAT. This will connect to the importance of newspapers & libraries. If you've heard it before then this would be considered "a best thing" or something that remained also on "replay."
ASK WHY?
GOAL: see a movie & reflect back (there are 3 scenes I recall) & finally, I'm out of data collection. Until writing, for real.
LAST POST to segue into first strategy when it comes to editing since I put away someone's trauma on a post-it note (the smallest piece), a postcard (since it's important not to keep secrets) & of course, a letter.
To write a letter you need an opening, a date, the body & a closing. I got all my words back today. Thank you.
08/01/2024
The past is definitely in the past, finally. It happened by reaching out to people in my phone from 2 years ago, 4 years ago, 6 years ago! It's a new day when you have numbers intact. Thank you to those who responded--phew!
First reported cognition decline in 2015 to P*P leading to neurologist care & am no longer in healthcare (all of it!) today, August 1st, 2024.
I don't share my life ever, but motivated me to get online & start sharing since I can't create great impact in that Chicago community (Friends of Alcott who use the word "family,"--def no) being a teacher anymore. I'd still like to make the greatest impact and I think it's to work hard to make elevation of difference, not taking advantage of vulnerable populations, an automatic thing in our society.
That sounds like policy.
THANK YOU TO DISABILITY because I almost lost the state of Michigan, almost.

is ensuring lives with some form of exrepssion to get IT out.
IT = indescribable trauma & as I've said over & over, just deSCRIBE it.
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers | T.S. Eliot
NOTE : when writing I just "get it out" & do not throroughly edit purposely. There is only so long one can sit with what I'm writing, not exactly making my point & do so without being concise & succinct. At the same time, for those who have followed, there's no way to not compare/contrast writing [samples] of the past with no ability to read/look back and today.
