If schools were a drug the FDA would have to BAN them as highly NEURO-TOXIC. TRUE/FALSE?

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
New Classrooms Can Change Children's Brains: Scientific American Mind: October 2012 http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=new-classrooms-can-change-childrens-brains&WT.mc_id=SA_sharetool_Twitter via @sciam A MADMAN daily drives into town & TOSSES ACID INTO THE FACE of 1 in 5 of the towns young girls & boys, leaving behind hideous life-long scars! Were this to happen in any city in America we'd call out the National Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force... Yet, this type of hideous life-long SCARRING & CARNAGE occurs every day in every town in America. The SCARS are REAL in EVERY sense of the word - but these SCARS are on the INSIDE of our children, INVISIBLE & hidden! 

Recent positron & magnetic, PET & fMRI, imaging advances show that whole new ways of looking at children are needed to stop bullying in schools with bold new anti-bullying & cyber-bullying laws & solid school, student, teacher, workplace bullying statistics.

Bullied & Stressed-out & Hungry = OBESITY & Dropping-Out! 
HOW MANY HUNGRY & HURTING STUDENTS? 

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. 

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 isn't "LIKE" being Crazy -- It IS Crazy! 

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!

Who's in Charge?
Schools can become Cultural-Islands of BULLYING & PREJUDICE as in classic, "Lord of the Flies," stranded kids develop a primitive barbaric culture - sound familiar? 

ADULT-Administration- TEACHER cultures of abusiveness & prejudice? 

STOP Targeting Kids - Target Kid-bully-Cultures - Not Kids themselves!

Moving forward on bullying and other issues is impossible when both teachers & administrators start-off facing the wrong direction entirely! How many teachers or administrators know what their number one job is? Zero is very possible!  It's... madness!
