Those sound like some fun careers. Working with kids would be great because kids benefit from people with big hearts.

I agree, analyzing things is fun! I just found this chocolate ice cream today that has 150 calories in a pint. So I thought (just what they wanted me to think) - well, if it's only 150 calories in a pint, I can eat that! It has this very strange but not unpleasant texture - as if they took cappuccino foam and made it solid - not sure if you can drink coffee yet so you might not know what I mean. But I keep trying to figure out how they gave it that texture. Is it some kind of physical manipulation like air whipping?

I know what you mean about having to give kids back - that would be sad! I feel the same way about being a pet foster mom - for instance I have considered taking in seeing eye docs until they are old enough to be trained - but I'm a sissy.

I'm 52, but I went to college in the last 10 years. So much of it was just droning boring stuff. I had some professors who were super amazing, but some of them seemed like they were really uninterested themselves and it just transferred to the students. I had this idea to create a college sort of like what you are describing with your school. My idea was that a lot of the of the classes could be tested out of (at my school the list was very short). This way students could work together to get through materials at their own paces, or alone if they wanted to. Then we could have some classes that were taught in classrooms for those that wanted them, and other classes that were taught by people who work in the fields, but actually in the field. For instance, a police officer would hold his class while taking the kids around showing them actual police work. Maybe you and I should get together and create our schools! Right now there are so many resources available to students to help then learn. like Kahn Academy and all the classes in iTunesU - there is no real need for students to be forced to sit through tedious classes on nutty schedules, or to pay huge tuition and to go into so much debt. We need free from schools.

I read your other thread too. I hope you are feeling better soon! I understand this problem with not wanting to cause your grandma more stress by asking her to buy you special groceries and making the food for you, etc when she is already busy. Is there no way you can get a helper in your home due to your diagnosis? We'll have to brain storm on ways to help you with this. I'm glad skibum is helping you too - she's amazing!

I know somebody in that thread mentioned hydration - I have recently been forcing myself to drink more water, around a half a gallon a day. I always thought that was a gimmick when they said to drink so much, but in just a week I have been feeling a lot better in some ways. It used to make me nauseated when I would drink a lot, but now I am used to it and I enjoy it very much. That's just a suggestion though.

But this schedule of yours is very demanding right now, it sounds stressful for anyone, much less someone in high school. Stress can really make you feel bad and you do need proper food and water during these times especially.

Anyway, keep us informed on how it goes!

t is really cool looking time up with the whole entire new concept for school together. My idea is every person would have a file on them labeling his preferences his level in academics specifically in each subject areas whether good or not in it, their interests etc. All the plans work everything etc will be individual based including the test no common core state standards for this school. People wouldn't have to worry about who's special whose honors that stuff that kids seem to worry about all the time.

Everyone will help each other out and Gym will be assigned by ability but nobody would know who has what ability in the areas of academic gym and I guess some will guess but there will be no Real no official grade levels or anything and the only people would know would be the professionals and teachers.

There be both small big and independent classes but also places where it's supposed to be really quiet for kids were no talking is allowed.

And will also be able to find out what interest of the child has and what job they would be be best at and try to help them figure out for themselves whatever they want to be/ have a job as when they grow up. Also in order to be admitted into the school they would need to care about learning.


And I would Incorporate all kinds of learning styles like videos hands-on all kinds of stuff.

As for getting someone to take care of me that's a long story. When my grandmother was trying to get opwdd for me when I was young.

She filled out the form entirely wrong and under/ wrongly manifested my disability as motor skill problems that which is not even a diagnosis and did not even mentioned my seizures or developmental delays which were even worse then.

I don't even want to get into it but basically it's can be hard to get one but surprisingly my grandmother and uncle say don't really mind taking care of me all the time. Although they are still highly in denial and this might change when I get to be older.

Or maybe not maybe it's like that one time when I was sick and Ashley going to file for head she said she didn't think I had a temperature but then we went to the doctor the next day but I wasn't feeling well the doctor asked if I had a fever and my grandmother said she thinks I did and yes.

I said how did say you did not think I had a temperature when you clearly did and she said well she felt like I did have a temperature but she didn't want to tell me.
