you're not treating one better than the other just different. We as parents make accomodations for our children's differences..

Yes there was more research and more writing of papers yet less nonsense with pain in the butt class mates whose biggest plan in life was to be intoxicated. Most professors know that while you ... |

| This idea makes me sick! No man has the right to force a woman into a sexual act because of what she is wearing. What garbage. Isn't it awful that rape is still seen as the woman's fault - she did something to deserve it. Rape is an act of violence against the woman. It has nothing to do with a sexu... |

The fact that she tried to cut herself with the glass leads me to believe that there is definitely a plan. If she ever e... |

Maybe the teacher can start talking specifically about how the schedule will be different.. Maybe even write up a schedule for the day so the child has something to look at.
