   Rosie67 replied to mc3's topic in School

   Ohhh, This happens so often! Sometimes the odor is so pungent that I know there isn't any hugging and kissing going on in that family let alone washing. The way some of these youngsters are raised is disgusting. Several times, when it comes to girls ...

7. CPS pics and hippa question

   Rosie67 replied to guest83140's topic in School

   I am sure Martha would have plenty to say. We have had discussions on a listserv recently. Most issues in schools are FERPA and not HIPAA. These discussions prompted me to download the US Department of Education -Joint Guidance on the Application of ...

8. School breakfast

   Rosie67 replied to bergren's topic in School

   I think the point is lost. We are not talking about that poor child who doesn't have food and misses breakfast from circumstances out of his control. I ask several questions when a student comes looking for breakfast. Many CHOOSE to skip breakfast so...

12. Did I do something wrong?

    Rosie67 replied to lilbiskit78's topic in School

    I'm sure that all of us reading your post have had similar situations. Even after six years in schools, I learn new things about myself and parents. Sometimes parents who haven't been doing all THEY should do for their child at home, feel the need to...

13. Teacher injury

    Rosie67 replied to Rosie67's topic in School

    I thought I should give an update- Some of you are making leaping assumptions- "power play", no, just doing what is right and prudent under my license. I did have communication with the MD, she was to have ice for the first 3 days and then return for...

    I am on the Student Assistant Team here in my very inner-city school. We never have a 504 without the psych or social worker. Most importantly- he may not qualify for a 504. You don't want to make one unless he neets it!! We often start with a behavi...
