Somehow people managed to be much slimmer a few decades ago. Sedentary habits and diets are certainly behind a great deal of obesity. |

Me too. Also, it's ridiculous to expect schools to get students with IQs in the 50s and 60s and even low 70s on the same level as their peers. |

They also managed to be shorter |

Neither is a disease. People just need training on how to live with their compulsion to over-drink or over-eat. Stop making excuses for weak people. |

Well it is the law - The IDEA Act was passed in the 1970s. Many teaching strategies used to help students with LDs represent best practices for neuro typical children as well. However, in our case we moved her to a private therapeutic then to a mainstream private that execute IEPS but with much less bureaucracy and more common sense. However, it is in society’s interests to help students with LDs to succeed as otherwise they are much higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse/ mental illness and squandering their many talents. |

That's what I say every morning as I drive my children past their old public elementary school to their private school as I see the series of short buses pull up to the public school. Why people think those of limited ability should be forced into classes with normal children is ridiculous. |

You’re joking right? You don’t really think that being disabled means you shouting go to school with your neighbors? |

Obesity is not necessarily a choice. Food companies are manipulating our food to basically crave more crappy food. It is not that simple.
The obesity surgery I had in Mexico was the best thing I did to save my life! |

NP. Opinions:
Distance learning wasn’t education for all but maybe .01% of kids. If a student causes a room to be cleared more than three times, they should be removed from general education for the rest of the year. The oldest daughters of families with more than three kids are de facto maids and babysitters and don’t get a chance to be kids. People who use the phrase “calories in, calories out” or who talk about “willpower” with respect to solving the obesity crisis are profoundly stupid. Redshirting is irrelevant and people who get upset by it have never had any real problems in their lives. They are childlike in that respect and need to be handled carefully, like one would an overly sensitive child. (I didn’t redshirt.) SAH or WOH is irrelevant to outcome and irrelevant to whether you are a good parent or not. (I have both SAH and WOH.) Breastfeeding is not nearly as important as some people like to think it is (I breastfed two years each kid). |

Wow so old fashioned and non science based assumptions. 1. Neurological diversity is the norm. 2. Being neuro typical is no guarantee of a high IQ just as having learning differences by no means implies lack of intelligence or ability. 3. Many mainstream privates have learning specialists now because there is increasing recognition that it is common for children/youth to have some kind of neurological diversity that requires easy to apply supports (extended time/ seating with reduced distractions/ use of computer for writing, which most kids prefer now anyway/ clear communication of assignment requirements and dead lines). 4. Many children/ youth with learning differences have non academic qualities that add a great deal to their school communities (for example, empathy, creativity, athletics, big picture non linear thinking and social skills). The short bus kids may be the ones with the biggest hearts, the greatest ideas, and the quirky innovations that contribute in rich ways to school communities. |
