I do hope this person reflects that in an adminstration position, he should do positive changes not negative. If not there are ways of letting the school board know and changes can be made in a positive way. Good luck.<BR/><BR/>Li-Li's mom - yes these colors are hard to keep track, I just use a rainbow! <BR/><BR/>That parent - yes DFCS came and the child when to her mother. The sad thing is that the mother situation is just as bad. Wish all parents really understood how to raise a child. One thing I found is that there will always be good parents, so-so parents, and terrible parents, society MUST protect children from terrible parents and do it immediately! Oh I wish..I wish for a peaceful society and good parents, good schools and good feelings!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026325968244954541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125285923119572329.post-19526818230593969292008-05-03T21:26:00.000-07:002008-05-03T21:26:00.000-07:00Wow, that's a lot of gang colors you have to keep ...Wow, that's a lot of gang colors you have to keep track of ... :) Are you taking applications for your hoods, because I want in, too!<BR/><BR/>Holy cow, that thug of a dad would have had me reaching for the nearest chair too, and I'd have found myself violating all my pacifist beliefs in a moment. But you are a better woman than I: I'll bet your heartfelt emotion reached him a whole lot deeper than some angry splinters -- you may have had more of an impact than you think in defusing his anger next time. (But that sort of thing gets reported, right? And someone else goes to his house and hits him with a metaphorical DSS chair and some strong guidance, right?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125285923119572329.post-87034450775206022342008-05-03T13:41:00.000-07:002008-05-03T13:41:00.000-07:00Oooh!

I don't know what I would have done had a man whipped his kid with a belt in my class, I would have been capable of throwing a freaking chair at his head.

Thanks. <BR/><BR/>As I re-read your blog and the comments, I thought to myself, what a shame it would be for DeafSide to not have blogs like yours listed.

My hood is joined by a common characteristic - deafness. It does not define me, it expands me."<BR/><BR/>I SO loved what you said here! Yeah-- I have a group of late-deafened friends who are my lifeline. You're so cool I'm adding you to my deaf hood. :-)<BR/><BR/>I joined DeafRead to learn more about Deaf culture. Like ALL groups (hoods) I belong to, I've found I like some in the group and don't like others so much. I guess that's pretty normal.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093639101711800065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125285923119572329.post-10362248036624809062008-05-02T17:30:00.000-07:002008-05-02T17:30:00.000-07:00I'm from da hood!

You bring a perspective of providing several different angles of your everyday life. A mother, a teacher, a daughter, a cochlear implant user and a deaf person. It is amazing how you can be a part of many different hoods but they are intertwined with one another. I would love to have peace in da hoods too!Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272667052295179028noreply@blogger.com
