For medical reasons I'm not currently teaching, but I would like to answer your questions. I have strong opinions about grouping. 1. What types...
I'm not sure, either, but it struck me funny that grades 3-5 would contain the term "primary", usually reserved for grades pk-3. Grades 3-4 are a...
For teachers using or familiar with this company's online programs, what is your opinion of IXL?
I'm a bit off topic, but perhaps not. I'm 61, and lately I've been considering how tremendously technology has changed education and the world....
Good point, and I also must agree that your opinion is the current scientific consensus. Statistically, AD(H)D is not normal, but in my post, I...
I know I'm in the minority, but personally I view AD(H)D as a normal and productive brain condition. AD(H)D doesn't equal misbehavior: all kids...

On a teacher's own time (away from school grounds) it's that person's right to smoke if s/he desires to smoke. I have problems with not hiring...
By coincidence, I happened to read this article, yesterday, and thought you might find it helpful in your research....
My friend and I have similar internal experiences due to our AD(H)D, minus the meltdown. When I enter a strange environment, the immediate...
