B-Man Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Why I Am Voting Republican JASON NEGRI Dear Ms. Pelosi, With less than a week until the 2022 midterm elections, and Democrats reeling from the shellacking they are expected to get, I read a news article that stated you are wondering just how “anyone could vote for these people” (meaning, Republicans). Allow me to answer what I presume was a merely rhetorical question. I can (barely) remember a time in national politics when our political differences were just that—political. People on opposite sides of the aisle could still work together to achieve good things for our nation. However, those days are long past, and since neither side actually talks to the other but only engages with those of like mind, I thought it might be helpful for me to write this and explain how non-Democrats think. We’re voting Republican because we want reasonable immigration policy that reflects the needs and the good of America, while allowing for a generous refugee program for those fleeing disaster. And the only way to accomplish this is with a border that is secure in the first place and not annually letting in tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants and tons of fentanyl. And we resent being told that holding this position is racist and that we just “don’t want more brown people here.” Along these lines, we’re voting Republican because we’re sick of being told that every policy disagreement we have with the Left is rooted in racism, sexism, or some other mean-spirited “ism” on our part.

BillStime Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 This will help with the young vote Seriously - the armpit of America

I only have one class with problems but one of the two problem children in the class has been diagnosed anxiety, which he truly does have. The issue is his parents and my administrator believe I can't discipline him in any manner despite his making it difficult to teach the other 26 kids in class who want to learn. He won't stay seated, he throws things at other students, is repeatedly loud, and just generally a distraction. According to my county legal I can't give the kid any detentions, or suspend him despite daily causing issues. I don't agree with corporal punishment but should he be untouchable for his disability?

Imo, he should be classified as a Special Needs child and given appropriate assistance. While most children learn at the same rate in the same collective setting, some learn slower and others learn faster. The outliers shouldn't be pigeonholed into the cookie-cutter approach applied to those students within the 1st standard deviation from the mean. That same philosophy can apply to behavioral as well as intellectual special needs. When I went to school in western NY, those children with behavioral issues did receive special attention and were often separated from the rest of us. I'm a little surprised you're facing such an obstacle, even if you are teaching in Florida.

Due to his anxiety I have had to allow him to sit outside the classroom and collect himself s couple of times, nothing more. His issue is not related to his disability, it is related to his lack of consequence for his behavior. We do have schools in the county for violent children, and schools with true special needs, and even one primarily for children for whom anxiety is crippling. He does not fit those, but he is protected as if they do.

He does not fit those, but he is protected as if they do. As someone who had debilitating clinical anxiety for much of my life (I'm a lot better now!), as well as going undiagnosed with both ADHD and autism until I was 30, I only ask that you try not to blame this child or take his acting-out personally. Instead, it seems more like it's his parents that are the real problem. If they are unwilling to take the necessary steps to address these issues (such as holding him accountable for genuine or otherwise inexcusably bad behavior) and prefer to avoid accountability by blaming everyone else but themselves for the child's woes, then there isn't much he can do on his own. Have you ever thought about asking him to have lunch with you one day? Not lunch detention, but a genuine invitation. You'd be best at figuring out the premise that is most likely to get him to agree (e.g., going over recent submissions, picking his brain on his favorite subject, asking him delicately about why he gets anxious sometimes, or even asking about his home life and how he is treated in general). You can give him a signed hall-pass with a date and time on it. That simple piece of paper symbolizes: (1) a future appointment he needs to keep, one that can help build self-discipline; (2) an invitation exclusive to him, giving him a sense of both independence and autonomy; and (3) it shows that you SEE him, and HEAR him... that you recognize his acting out from a place of love and concern, not from a place of harshness and scorn.
