Re: Bullying as a phenomena of our followship, vs., our leadership

[Guest guest]

I didn't mention that the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for

*digestion*.. . (perhaps both physiologically and psychologically? .. . Food

for thought? Food for *Feeling,* as Understanding, (as much) I Am, I Feel I Am,

Thereof

It's about time for something new and better (more meaningful) I Figure:

I can't believe that our education system (political state?) isn't predicated on

the truth, of our Feeling/s? (of not emphasizing it and building around it of It

being central to The picture? of what is so primary) that everything is for

*justice!* (Individual justice, for one and All of as much.. .) the justness of

Understandingmore, for our selves, of our selves.. . what with all the other

topics they/it seem/s to divide (and conquer?) us by? .. . It may not be so far

from Hitler's youth and 1984 as we think.. .

Thank God for what is going on in the rest of the universe.. . (Especially The

one within?! .. .

Open your mind. Open your heart.

Best wishes, Thereof

These children aren't learning what they should or as well as they should

because most (in the south at least) have a bigoted view of autism. They

see " Rainman " and equate Autism with mental retardation. They do not

believe these kids can get better, and they think they are ( and I hate this

term) " retarded. " They believe that autism goes hand in hand with a lack of

intellect. Therefore, they think it a waste of money to try to educate

them. Many if not most, create the IEP and then stick it in a drawer only

to be brought out when they have to arbitrarily make up some grade to give

to the parent. Teachers are told " Just teach what you want and just don't

fail them. " If your special ed child happens to be well behaved, that child

will get neglected due to teachers and aides having to give their time to

more severely affected children and the children with severe behavioral

issues

All parents should notice whether there aer academic goals on the IEP and be

sure they are there even from the beginning. Even a non-verbal three year

old can be taught how to identify letters and numbers. My son knew all the

states and capitols by age four. Many of these children have phenomenal

rote e memory skills and this strength should challenged and used, but they

don't do it. Our children are not doing well in the public schools because

in the south, most schools do not believe in our children nor in their

capacity to improve. Prejudice is alive and well and living in the south.

It takes A LOT of work on the parents' part to hole the schools

accountable. It is a full-time job. I don't have a lot of faith in Texas'

ability to educate these children. I love my state, but I won't lie for

it. I am disappointed in it.

I consider society and the public schools an excursion/outing (off primary

campus class/es?) to the jungle of the social and political world (natural

environment? of man, mostly) and try to manage our situation in that context of

my *homeschooling* program and curricula/understanding.. . (That that wouldn't

be for justice, but I Feel it is.

Thanks for your feelings on as much. (It sounds familiar.) I'd say that makes

the best start in remedying the situation, what else we can do about it

Best wishes in that respect.
