Davis (2007) stated that baseline testing must be performed at a young age so that children with prosopagnosia do not grow feelings of isolation and depression for now, there is no treatment available with prosopagnosia same with dyslexia or autism, however once parents become familiar with their child who have this condition, parents will be able to adjust with the situation, although it can be difficult emotionally, specifically if their child cannot identify them as his/her parents; on the contrary, it is not as good as when parents reprimand their child for something that can not be managed and for the children who have prosopagnosia, it can be reassuring to be acquainted with why their parent can be at times appear unaware to them.
Duchaine and Garrido (2008) said that the results are constant with face-specific processes, but it is also consistent with other accounts of face recognition, cases illustrating dissociations among impaired face identification and normal object identification are very helpful, however more examination is required in such cases to distinguish the mechanisms implementing face recognition for the reason that a number of cases of prosopagnosia recognize that face recognition and object recognition are dissociable, but do not suggest that deficits to face-specific mechanisms account for the dissociation -- for instance, Psychologist Martha Farah in1990 recommended a two-process theory of visual recognition that is composed of a holistic system and a parts-based system; faces were the archetypal stimulus for the holistic system, object recognition depended on one or both systems rely on the properties of the object, and word recognition relied on the parts-based system and the method foresees dissociations among unlike groups although does not include face-specific mechanisms; likewise, further descriptions of face-specific deficits that do not suggest face-specific mechanisms propose that the impaired mechanisms in such cases are focused on something other than faces.
Based on the article of Davis (2007), it can be understood that face blindness is not a common...
Many people who are suffering from being face blind have been accused of not attempting enough or not paying attention or yet being arrogant to greet others. Through the Yahoo group, other people who do not have no idea that they are experiencing prosopagnosia were able to help them recognize and understand themselves more and see that they are indeed experiencing a problem and that in spite of having such handicap, they are trying to cope up and lead a 'normal' lives.

School Uniforms Those against school uniforms mainly argue that they violate a student's freedom of expression and may interfere with religious clothing preferences (Kelly). However, evidence suggests that the benefits far outweigh these disadvantages. Educators, students and parents alike should view school uniforms as a good thing for a variety of reasons. Isaacson (1998) compared two middle schools in Charleston County, S.C., one with a uniform policy, the other without. The researcher
School uniforms for students are becoming more and more popular across the country. Research suggest that schools with a mandatory school-wide uniform policy have better attendance, better behavior, fewer discipline referrals, and more school spirit. Children seem to become more focused on academics. They are also easily identified on campus, in the community, and on field trips, making general safety another benefit of wearing uniforms. It is hypothesized that behavior in
School uniforms in public school has been a subject of national debate. Private and Parochial schools have a long history of school uniforms. Its implementation in public schools has been met with sharp criticism, it came to gain momentum in the late 1980's and it has been increasing steadily throughout the years. In some past few years the subject has gotten various boosts. The biggest boost was when in January
School Uniforms There are many reasons why school uniforms are common in countries outside of the United States, and are becoming more important in the United States. In other countries, it is believed that wearing a school uniform creates a "uniform" learning environment, meaning that the students are focused on the same things and there is order in the classroom. When the students do not think about what they look like
The researchers omitted the public sector data which had a positive correlation, and drew their conclusion from only the Catholic and private school sectors which had a negative correlation. Including the omitted data would have changed the overall conclusions. The authors warn against citing and using research that has methodological flaws. School Uniform Relation to Attendance A school uniform policy has been strongly suggested as a way to curb school violence
Additional arguments against school uniforms are the violation of free expression and students' rights and the stifling of student individuality (Schachter 48-49; Wilkins 22). These arguments for and against school uniforms do not have enough sway to decide the point alone. If research implied a link to academic or behavioral changes one way or the other, it is likely that such minor matters would fall in line or become only
