Even when she is directly involved and conversing either with the other students or her teacher, her attention clearly tends to wander a bit. it's usually not that hard to snap her back to attention but the pattern plays out again and again at times although it's not always pervasive.
The teacher and even the parents suspected right away that the child has ADD, ADHD or some other attention-robbing variant of such mental disorders or challenges. One major aggravating factor to this equation is that the health coverage that the child's parents have is not conducive to spending a good amount of money on therapy and/or medications or even reliably and clinically diagnosing what is really going on to begin with so the hands of the parents are a bit tied.
However, some relief was garnered when a charitable organization offered to assist in getting Lora diagnosed and, if necessary, treated for anything she might have. It turns out she does have ADD but does thankfully not have the hyperactivity variant of the disorder. After starting treatment, Lora is much calmer and settled and is much more focused on doing her work. It dials her down perhaps a little too much at times but the progress she is making now is of clear benefit to her learning and her mental state. Perhaps the treatment can be dialed back at a later date.
Scenario Four
The fourth scenario is a child named Spencer that is a fourth grader at Linwood Elementary. Spencer is a smart kid but he's a bit of a bully. He will make fun of kids who look different...
It is clear that Spencer suffers from some sort of self-esteem issues but it's not entirely as to what the root of those feelings are and what is the best way to attack Spencer's activities.
One major source of this seems to be the lack of Spencer's parents stepping in and make it clear that such behaviors, tactics and habits are not wrong and are bullying and hurtful in nature even if that is not the motivation of Spencer when he does them. Something else that needs to be made abundantly clear to Spencer is that singling out people that are different in terms of their skin color, hair, or even general appearance is not right either and can come off as bullying, racism or sexism depending on the target and this can be true even if Spencer is not trying to think and act like a bigot.
Even if the parents of Spencer cannot or will not intercede and instill better habits and values, the school must do their part to correct his behavior and punish or at least call him out (diplomatically and discreetly unless the situation demands otherwise) so that he learns, one way or the other, that behaving that way is not proper. Allowing it to continue unabated is not permissible and if the situation gets too advanced, Spencer should probably be separated from the other children or even expelled if the bullying and criticism gets violent or too incendiary.

Billy Mitchell and Airpower During the interwar period a number people advocated major changes in military doctrine and organizations, particularly in the use of airpower. Three important airpower advocates were Giulio Douhet, Hugh Trenchard, and Billy Mitchell, who all insisted that the air arm should be independent of the army and navy. Trenchard in fact was the commander of the first independent air force in the world, the Royal Air Force
Point ONE: Billy Budd: Critic Eugene Goodheart is the Edythe Macy Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Brandeis University. He writes that while critics are generally divided between those who see Captain Vere as "an unwitting collaborator" with Claggart and those who feel Vere was correct to have Billy sent to the gallows. In his piece Goodheart explains that Billy is "…variously seen as Adam before the fall, as a noble
As the opening scene of "The Flea Circus" suggests, Texas's culture mirrors its landscape: a series of languishing monotony punctuated by the occasional prickle. Austin might have changed a lot since Brammer wrote the Gay Place, and in fact is one of the only places in Texas that can easily fit the title. However, Texas has changed relatively little since the 1960s. Especially in light of the ways oil
children go through. This is especially true for children that underwent something traumatic or continue to endure traumatic events. Billy, a 13-year-old Hispanic boy, deals with many stresses in life. From having dealt with physical abuse from his parents to enduring multiple foster care families, to living in a bad neighborhood where there are multiple gang related incidents a week, it makes sense Billy has rebelled and become a
There is no male equivalent of Sugar Cane in Some Like it Hot. Unlike the unequivocally feminine Sugar Cane, neither Joe nor Jerry plays the role of the cad or the cowboy. In fact, Joe shows genuine emotion and caring for Sugar as his feelings for her deepen. Joe and Jerry, like Sugar Cane, are musicians. All three are therefore portrayed as social equals regardless of gender. Gender and sexuality
films, or of stories in magazines in different price ranges, depend not so much on subject matter as on classifying, organizing, and labeling consumers. Something is provided for all so that none may escape; the distinctions are emphasized and extended. The public is catered for with a hierarchical range of mass-produced products of varying quality, thus advancing the rule of complete quantification. Everybody must behave (as if spontaneously) in
