Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 When I give my " speech " to 7th graders during our disability unit I talk about fair meaning giving each child what he/she needs to succeed. I tell the 7th graders that most of them can do things the same way and be successful, however, for some kids they may need to do things in a different way to be successful. I always say if you think being fair means treating everyone the same, then everyone needs to write with their right hand, if they wear glasses or hearing aides take them off, etc...

As a parent of a child with ds and also almost finished with my special ed degree, I have been told that fair is not equal, fair is treating each child individually and meeting his or her needs.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 That's BULL! I correct spelling tests all the time for 2nd and 4th grade REG ED students and believe me, some of them have very " challenging " handwriting but I never mark something wrong because of it's appearance, non-uniformity(is that a word? lol), or just because the handwriting is sloppy. First I'll check how the student formed the same letter in other words. If they are the same I chalk it up to " That's just the way he makes his ____ " . If something is questionable, I'll go to the kids and ask them..how do you spell ______ or ask them, What's this letter supposed to be. I always give them the benefit of the doubt. Some of these teacher's are just being down-right ridiculous!!! that burns me up! Di Another question >> >> >> >>Ok, this one just kills me!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Or done with letter tiles, refrigerator magnets, on the computer/word processor...if the handwriting is really an issue there are probably a dozen other ways she can show she knows how to spell the word without actually writing.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 My second son (NDA) has the worst handwriting in the world. Seriously. Thank goodness we do not have a teacher who takes off for that. She WILL announce before certain assignments that this will be a handwriting grade as well and he will get a 105 on the spelling test and a 72 (at best) on handwriting. Truly - that is so ridiculous. in Dallas Another question > >> > >> > >> > >>Ok, this one just kills me!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Kathy Jo, You can make anything you want to bring to barter with. It's highly recommended that you list all ingredients that go into it. And the more " traditional " the better! Probably the hardest part for you will be deciding the PRICE! ;-) I don't think many of us have commercial kitchens and we are not open to the public. If we were, then we'd fall under more liability rules such as those who sell at craft sales and the like to the general public. Hope this helps!

You don't need to necessarily make something in order to swap it. We are having a potluck, too, after all. You could prepare a big salad and have the dressing to go with it.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Does it need to only be food items? I have some cloth diaper covers I have been making and was thinking of bringing them. I hope to also get some diaper liners made too by that time. Let me know if things like this are OK too. I know I will have a few kefir grains too.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Misty - they are two different things. IgA is a part of the b-cell immune system that is found in secretions and mucous membranes. IgG is another part of the b-cell system and it is made up also of antibodies but stays primarily in the blood stream. Problems with IgA can be termed Selective IgA deficiency. This is used when the IgA is the only thing absent from the immune system. When there is no response to vaccination such as the pneumococcal ones (pneumovax and Prevnar) then that is known as Selective Antibody deficiency. But only when the response is the only thing lacking. When both are happening, IgA deficiency and Antibody deficiency some doctors change the diagnosis to CVID (Common Variable Immune Deficiency).
