Students have no internal body part that clamps-down on their being children once they step onto a bus or into a classroom. What is a teachers main responsibility? DUH! YET NO ONE - NONE - KNOW THIS MOST-BASIC THING - what the main job is! Bullying Bullies to Stop Bullying is Bonkers! NATIONWIDE 1 IN 5 KIDS IS VICTIMIZED BY AGE 18!  A child coming home knowing their ABC's but missing body parts does not equal job well done! ASK students ARE THEY HAPPY? How many kids are in crisis at your school, in your town? To coin-toss anonymously-poll: When asked a private question, flip a coin before answering. Answer "yes" for tails and truthfully if heads. Give kids a voice to Stop Bullying in their Schools! 

1. 100% INCLUSION NOT A FANTASY! Students use COINS To respond to questions anonymously -ALL KIDS- Exceptional Student Education ESE students are often shy about class participation - being too-often right or too-often wrong sets one apart - NO MORE!  ESE kids are the most often bullied but the bullies are crying out too!

2. EMERGENCY TRIAGE SITUATIONAL-ASSESSMENT! This gives kids a voice and a place to go when in need of help -- KIDS HAVE NO WAY TO SPEAK OUT WHEN BULLIED OR IN CRISIS - This is WHAT A PENNY DOES -- IT GIVES KIDS A VOICE TO CRY OUT WITH! 1 IN 5 IS HORRIBLE and we need step over this inconvenient truth blindly NO MORE! ONE IN FIVE is ***Child-on-Fire-Freaking*** CRAZY! 

CLASSROOM & SCHOOL ASSEMBLY AUDITORIUMS! 
Every class, every day kids can use this to answer BOTH regular and sensitive questions! The benefits for ESE and classroom inclusion are huge but the ONE-IN-FIVE situation is an all-out EMERGENCY! This gives EXACT NUMBERS on KIDS IN CRISIS! There was no way to know before, now there is. Will we continue sticking our collective heads in the warm Florida sand or flip our coins and face the truth? MORALLY? 

FOOLPROOF?  YES!
A yes might reflect the toss of the coin or ones true experience, there's no way to tell! Half who answer "not" to "Have you ever ???'ed?" will answer "yes" although they haven't. 

HOW CALCULATE PERCENTAGES? The number who did not do ??? is double the number saying "no"- So if 20% of the population surveyed said "no, then the true fraction that did NOT do ??? is 40%! 

IS THIS JUST FOR SENSITIVE QUESTIONS! - NO! MOST class questions should be asked anonymously this way to encourage participation and inclusion of ALL students. 

NATIONWIDE 1 IN EVERY 5 KIDS IS CRIMINALLY VICTIMIZED BEFORE 18 -  WE STEP OVER BODIES EVERY TIME we hear and do nothing. We are numb, stepping over the in-pain bodies of our own and others children for too long - Every time we ignore the  statistic of "1 in 5" we've just STEPPED OVER ANOTHER BODY. In the past, we felt we had to, that everyone else was doing it, or that nothing could be done - So we stepped over bodies, pretending blindness - We Need Be Blind No More. Anonymous polls give the voiceless, especially kids, a way to reach out. Our children are on fire and burning and we need step over them blindly No More! Once there is a mind-set of; "Our Kids Are On Freaking-Fire!" THEN things will happen! Statistics haven't been believed & go in-one-ear and out-the-other. THESE STATISTICS WILL SCREAM because these won't be percentages about "other" kids - The numbers will be for the classroom, school & community of ones very own kids! 

NEWSFLASH: Acceptance of the statistic of 1 in 5 kids victimized is NOT "like" being crazy -- it IS CRAZY. The relationship between public and education providers is so muddied with earnest, ill-informed and ill-directed understanding of the responsibilities that the system is optimally inefficient. This "inefficiency" is a natural, expected, and biologically-pre-determined. Once reactive-mindsets (on-fire mindsets) become the cultural norm,  everyone's (spooky) blindness to the degree of inefficiency is its own proof. 1 in 5 is a CALL TO ACTION and justifies getting things done fast! "Kids on fire" is used should be "adults on fire" because we are CRAZY. Our goal must be to stop more kids catching our "fire." Reactive-minded persons (people on fire) are ill-suited to go around putting other people's fires out (put one out, another will be started by the corrective-action itself). The situation isn't hopeless, we have (some remaining) free will. 

1 in 5 is NOT OK - What are you going to do with YOUR free-will TODAY? 

SPREAD NeuroGenesis! 

INCREASE the "behavioral transmission of neuro-genesis!" 
Behaviorally-transmitted brains... pass the brains please...  ;)
