INSIDE EVERY STUDENT IS A CHILD! SANITY BEGINS NOW! Stop Bullying! How many KIDS are IN-CRISIS-NOW at your school? In your town? HOW MANY HUNGRY? HOW IT WORKS: RANDOMIZED-RESPONSE Anonymous-Polling - When asked a private question, flip a coin before answering. Answer "yes" for tails and truthfully if heads. 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. 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 do ??? is 40%! THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!

1. CRITICAL FOR TRUE CLASSROOM INCLUSION - Students use COINS To respond to questions anonymously -ALL KIDS- Exceptional Students (ESE) special needs & gifted are often shy about class participation - being always right or always wrong sets one apart - NO MORE! Exceptional Student Education ESE - COMPLETE INCLUSION for special needs and gifted kids is now possible! TAKES NO MORE EFFORT THAN REGULAR SHOWING OF HANDS! STUDENTS RAISE HANDS OR DON'T IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS - Educators GLANCE at the room and quickly gauge the response!

2. EMERGENCY - IMMEDIATE ASSESSMENT OF SITUATION FOR TRIAGE! EMERGENCY! Give kids a voice for when help is needed. Our KIDS are ON FIRE right NOW! We need step over this inconvenient truth blindly No More! One in Five - 1 in 5 - The U.S. Governemment Federal Statistic of ONE IN FIVE is ***Child-on-Fire-Freaking*** CRAZY! 

READY for the CLASSROOM and AUDITORIUM - TODAY! 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 that demands IMMEDIATE action! There was no way to know before, now there is. Before we had no way of asking and learning the truth, now we DO! Will we continue sticking our collective heads into our warm Florida sand have or flip our coins and face the truth? MORALLY - This is NOT a Choice! Well? 

WE STEP OVER BODIES EVERY TIME we hear and do nothing about ONE IN FIVE KIDS VICTIMIZED BEFORE 18 - We have been stepping over the writhing-in-pain bodies of our own and others children for far too long - Every time we ignore the stark statistic of ONE IN FIVE KIDS WE HAVE JUST STEPPED OVER ANOTHER BODY. In the past, perhaps this was because we felt we had to, or because everyone else was doing the same, or because we didn't believe anything could be done other than to simply step over their bodies, pretending blindness - Now we can give the secret child in everyone, especially kids, a way to reach out. Our children are on fire and burning and we need step over them blindly No More! 

DO STUDENTS HAVE TO FLIP A COIN FOR EVERY QUESTION? - NO! A randomizing coin-toss-flip is needed just once per question or just once for thousands of questions - its up to the questioner.

HOW IS IT ANONYMOUS? 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 DOES ONE CALCULATE THE 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%! 

WHAT IS THE COST? - ZERO! No-cost, Free: Safe2Tell-Anonymous-Poll Class-Coin-Toss means kids can answer & speak anonymously, safely every day - ALL KIDS! 

IS IT FOOLPROOF? - YES! The flip result is kept private and is known only to the student answering the question. 

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

NATIONWIDE 1 IN EVERY 5 KIDS IS CRIMINALLY VICTIMIZED BEFORE 18 - We have inexcusably been stepping over the writhing-in-pain bodies of our own and others children and blindly ignoring the reality of what this statistic means because we feel we have to, because everyone else is doing it, and because we don't believe anything can be done about it, so we pretend blindness - We Need be Blind No More! Morally this is not a choice - Until now we simply had no way of knowing the truth, now we know how to ask and find answers! We will soon see a mind-set of; "Our Kids are on Freaking-fire!" drive demand the creation of NEW PROGRAMS! 1. Statistics just aren't believed accurate and go in one ear and out the other, for years! - THESE STATS WILL SCREAM! 2. Public thinks 1 out of 5 (or worse) applies to "other" kids, not ones own classroom, school & community! Stop HUNGER, Bullying and Cyber-bullying in our schools - Now!
