Kitty is pretty lousy at noticing these things, but if she were to try to "ask her body" how she is feeling she may well be over-interpreting what she can notice -- and once the cycle has started, it can get quite out of control. ... I would consider asking Kitty how she decides if she is anxious or not.<br /><br />2. I'd ask that Kitty not have that teacher anymore. With 13 kids she certainly ought to be quite aware that Kitty has been having some major problems "surrounding" the issue of suicide. But on the good side, it pushed her observable-behaviors-at-school ... Who knows, maybe that teacher was well-intentioned in wanting Kitty to display behavior at school so she will get proper placement?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-88517893538424077742011-11-04T16:51:05.560-05:002011-11-04T16:51:05.560-05:00Maybe it's supposed to teach them the dangers ...Maybe it's supposed to teach them the dangers of texting and driving (he was messing with his phone when he wrecked). I've found that most of the movies, plays, and books the school teaches are "social messages," which I can appreciate... but not for Kitty.<br /><br />The class is titled Teen Leadership. It's one of the few general ed classes that Kitty has, but it only has 13 kids in the class. I get the feeling it's one of those weird electives for the kids that don't have special interests and probably are "special" in some way.<br /><br />Considering I JUST sent out a request to Kitty's casemanager to send out a note to all Kitty's teachers to censor what she's being shown... No, I don't think anyone stopped to think about what effect it would have on Kitty.<br /><br />Marymarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852422397272068136.post-77767279478317440462011-11-04T07:06:09.136-05:002011-11-04T07:06:09.136-05:00All other issues aside, what a stupid choice of mo...All other issues aside, what a stupid choice of movie to show kids. What class was it in? Was there teaching involved or just filling time? Did anyone stop to think about what effect it would have on Java?jwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848946240656789799noreply@blogger.com
