"Students" are Children inside 24/7!

Our nations public schools anti bullying policy puts 100's of kids in a building then throws in a few dozen teachers and instructs them that "parenting" is for parents and is not the responsibility of teachers! Lock them in together, otherwise unattended, for six hours per day. Who's in Charge? Bullies-Rule! AMERICA'S SCHOOLS ARE Cultural-Islands of BULLYING & PREJUDICE as in classic, "Lord of the Flies," stranded kids develop a primitive barbaric culture - sound familiar? 

IMAGINE EXTREMISTS FROM AL-QA-KID-GETTA daily drive into every town in America & TOSS ACID INTO THE FACES of 1 in 5 of the towns young girls & boys, leaving behind hideous life-long scars! Were this to happen in just one city a few times, let alone all of them daily, we'd call out the National Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force... it would be all-out-WAR! Yet, this type of hideous life-long SCARRING & CARNAGE actually does occur. - Every day in every town in America. The SCARS are REAL in EVERY sense of the word - However; These SCARS are on the INSIDE of our children, INVISIBLE & hidden! 

Recent positron & magnetic, PET & fMRI, imaging advances MAKE THE HIDEOUS INTERNAL SCARS VISIBLE and show that whole new ways of looking at children are needed to stop bullying in schools with EMPATHY.

Students have no internal body-part to "clamp-down" on their "child-ness" once they step into a classroom! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWMHE9YqU0A&feature=colike

HOW DO an Anonymous Poll? 
ASK: "Have you ever ?-ed? Yes or no?" but before students answer, each privately flips a coin. If the coin lands heads, they answer yes. If tails, answer truthfully. 

ANONYMOUS - HOW? 
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. 

IS IT FOOLPROOF? 
YES! Only the student knows his/her own Coin-Flip result!

NOT JUST FOR SENSITIVE QUESTIONS! 
MOST class questions should be asked anonymously to encourage participation of ALL! 

100% Classroom Inclusion - All kids Participate with Anonymity!  http://youtu.be/MhIEFYgPQ4U    AND:  http://youtu.be/5phuJXzXckE

Accepting the Statistic of 1 in 5 OR 47% isn't "LIKE" being Crazy -- It IS Crazy! 

ONE IN FIVE IS NOT OK! Once reactive-mindsets (on-fire mindsets) become the cultural norm,  everyone's (spooky) blindness to the intensity of the fire is its own proof. "Kids on fire" should be "adults on fire" because we're NUTS! Let's stop more kids catching our "fire!" Reactive-minded persons (people on fire) are ill-suited to put other people's fires out - but things aren't hopeless, we have free will - 1 in 5 is NOT OK! 

FLIP CLASS TO FLIP COUNTRY! 
Teachers can have increased roles as mentors for students facing personal life & learning challenges that require adult insights & knowledge. FLIPPED Classrooms emphasize the common humanity of teacher & student, not the superiority of one over the other. This helps teacher & student connect more meaningfully & helps kids voice that which no one has wanted to hear... 

STRESS STRANGLES the MIND -  SPREAD the NeuroGenesis!
