Father’s who are present both physically and emotionally are a great asset for mothers everywhere.

Such fathers make it easier for women everywhere to thrive and do what they do best, which is–

ahem… men… make the world work, as we all know. :o

Thank you, Piper Mackay! I’ve been helping children and adults overcome learning
difficulties of all kinds for more than 30 years now. The one thing I learned very
early on is that it is the mothers that are the anchor, mothers that carry the freight,
mothers that make a difference in the lives of their children and their families.

From Melissa Kelly, your Guide to Secondary Education
As the year comes to an end, teachers will be left with a couple of days to ‘checkout’ of their classroom before they begin their summer vacation in earnest.
End of the Year Checklist 

Schools typically give teachers a list of what they have to do before they can be released for the summer. However, this typically does not cover everything that a teacher needs to remember before they hand in their keys and leave. This list includes both the obvious and less obvious items that teachers need to make sure that they complete before they head out for summer break.

Teaching Seniors 

There is a certain attitude in high schools that Senior teachers often get off easy. Typically, their students finish sooner than the rest of the school. Further, the worst behaved students have often times left school for good by that point. Despite these positives, teaching Seniors is not always a bed of roses.

“Reading tape put me to sleep!” – Doc Meek

Friday, May 10, 2013. Today I am grateful for friends who are OK with me making suggestions for them (even if they are not able to use them!). :o  - Doc Meek

Letter to a friend:

Hi D,

I’m sorry you are having trouble sleeping at night.

Pills are probably not a good idea long term.

If exercise is not possible for you, listening to CDs might be.
There are all kinds of “approaching sleep” CDs that people
listen to at bedtime to help their minds shift from daytime
active to nighttime rest.
.
I’m not using them right now. I’ve used them in the past, quite
successfully, although you have to keep trying to find the ones
that help you (in contrast to what may work for others). For
example, some have sounds of nature on them (a gentle brook,
birds warbling, or seashore sounds, whatever). Works like a
charm for some, and doesn’t work well for others.
.
Some CDs are simply gentle music. Perfect for some and not
perfect for others. All kinds of music available designed to
help you drift off peaceably.
.
Some CDs have 2 tracks, and must be listened to with stereo
headphones. One track (the left ear) has outputs designed for
the right hemisphere, and the other track (the right earphone)
has sounds designed for the left hemisphere. This is a very
powerful non-drug sleep aid for many people.
.
For others, the fact that the tracks are different confuses them
at first because they are trying to “keep track” of both tracks
at the same time and this is impossible. When they finally just
attend to one track (the other goes into the brain anyway, even
if they are not attending to it), it works OK.
.
Even better, when the person just “gives up” trying to keep track
of the different tracks and just “zones out” it works like a charm
because the good stuff goes in without them attending , which is
the whole point, and the real value, of such approaches.
.
For me, there was a “joke” on me in one case. The very best tape
I found was one designed to help me improve my reading speed.
It helped me read all right, and it “put me away” at night better
than any sleep tape I tried. :o
.
Philios, Doc

“Can you learn on an empty stomach?” – Doc Meek

“Today I am grateful for those who know that children cannot learn properly on an empty stomach, and even more grateful for those who organize to do something about young empty stomachs! See my guest post below for details.”

Chances are some of the children you saw going to school today were HUNGRY.

Many Canadians don’t know that more than 1 in 3 children in Canada go to school

without breakfast each day.

Yet, the consequences of this unseen problem are very evident in the classroom.
