Paul is a student in a New-York-based school that is located in the Bronx area of New York. It is a Jewish school whose administration, and therefore, structure, is fervently Jewish, and it is a comparatively new school, dealing with a majority of Russian immigrants. Paul is one of the few American-born students and, therefore, conspicuous in his self-contained co-ed. class of 5 other individuals 3 of whom are Russuan born, and one other Ethiopian.
Paul is out of place in another way too. Aside from being the oldest in his class -- he is 8 years-old, the class is 2nd grade -- Paul's conduct is conspicuous and, with a record of teachers being unable to control him, Paul has spent his time being shuttled between teacher and principal.
The problem with Paul, according to his teacher's diagnosis, is that he has ADHD. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder with symptoms that are characterized by hyperactivity, inattentivity, impulsivity either singly or as a combination of all three. Paul has them to a severe degree as combination. His behavior is certainly inconsistent with his developmental level.
I suspect that Paul's problems are aggravated by the fact that he comes from divorced parents, his father was an abuser with an alcoholic past, and he is currently raised by his mother who spends her energies trying to hold three jobs together. Paul, therefore, is also a latchkey child.
My observations of Paul told...
As far as I know he is not receiving it -- certainly not on the school premises. The school, ill equipped and struggling, has two teachers that teach Paul's class of six students. I observed the afternoon class that centered on 'secular' studies (i.e. science, history, geography, math, and English grammar / writing) and observed Paul for the duration of a week. I also observed Paul during his recess time and during gymnastics (basket ball) in order to be able to observe him during times of transitions. I noticed that Paul was a popular kid during recess time (he is naturally charming and a leader), but tends to take over during gymnastics at times grabbing the ball from others and ignoring the rules.
Ignoring the rules seems to be something that runs through Paul's conduct.
If I had known otherwise, I would have thought Paul to be on drugs. Shifting around almost ceaselessly in his chair and, otherwise, passing notes to others or throwing them as tossed balls or simply standing up and strolling around the classroom, Paul is a constant aggravation to his teacher who seems to be unable to control him. Repeatedly interrupting the class structure, Paul,…
Ridgewood Reservoir - Introduction The grand and historic location in Highland Park, New York -- that is known as the Ridgewood Reservoir -- sits on a ridge that was formed by the second Pleistocene Period (Wisconsin's ice sheet's terminal moraine) about 12,000 years ago. The site offers scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean, and of several nearby New York cemeteries (East New York, Woodhaven, and the Rockaways). Presently it is what
Instead, Paul positions the way of faith over against "works of the law" (Rom 3:27-28), pitting God's sovereign grace over against human effort. In the interests of his Gentile mission, Paul aims to deflate an inflated sense of Jewish identity, particularly "boasting," which religious leaders routinely displayed while observing ritual religious practices. Paul stressed the time had come to recognize, in accordance with the promises to Abraham, the reality of
Indeed, the reference to "institutional sclerosis" concerns the fact that virtually every conceivable interest in contemporary society is protected by a variety of laws that provide for extensive advising, participation and appeal procedures, a process that further exacerbates the inability of public administrators to remain responsive to their constituents (Klijn & Koppenjan 241). These authors emphasize that, "This results, among other things, in the Not In My Backyard (NIMBY)
It also set up a conflict between labour and capital, a variation of the old conflict between peasants and nobility. Because it was based on a competitive "free" market, capitalism inherently sought labour-saving and time-saving devices by which it might increase efficiency and productivity. In other words, manufacturing and production processes were sped up through specialisation (division), automation, mechanisation, routinisation, and other alienating forms of production in which the
By connecting the awarding of a peace prize with the concerns of a world in which terrorism has become a constant threat, Obama makes clear the exigency of his message when he says: "I do not bring with me today a definitive solution to the problems of war." Nobel laureates are given few formal constraints in terms of their responses but Obama faced the more general constraints of trying to
