It&#8217;s been a while since you&#8217;ve seen an entry by yours truly and there&#8217;s a good reason:  I&#8217;m now working full time as a teacher for students with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and other Learning Disabilities.

		<description><![CDATA[In work with children a team means everything. Your child’s self esteem and ways of relating are constructed by what they learn from team interaction. Even in graduate school students learn that the key to power for scientists is flexibility and cooperation. Many experiments show success after many well planned failures. Sometimes it takes only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is my child going to the right school?  
Deciding this seemingly simple question can be agonizing for parents. Not only are some schools “objectively” better (lower teacher student ratios, more enrichment programs, etc) but one kind of child could fail in the same school where a different child would thrive.  It happened to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many counties around the U.S. school districts are offering free breakfasts to students under the theory that if you&#8217;re hungry then you aren&#8217;t at your best.  They&#8217;re hoping to see an increase in grades and standardized test scores, especially in poor schools where students are often short on good scores and good meals. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I&#8217;m off for my first day as a teacher at an all-ADD private school.  Students won&#8217;t be arriving until next Wednesday, but I am excited about the opportunity to work with them in a group as large as 15.  That is 5-10 times more high-need students than I&#8217;m used to.  [...]]]></description>

Research shows that students do better in school when they are told they can get smarter by training their brains to get stronger— like a muscle.
