To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate The Choice Should Be Yours

To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate The Choice Should Be Yours specialedpost.org A lot of people cringe away from talking about their opinions on vaccines because it can become a very heated subject, especially if you are against them. Vaccines scare the crap out of me, and while I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get vaccinated, I hope this article will make you stop and think before just letting some doctor inject something into your body. I’ve never been the type of person who just goes along with something without question. While this isn’t always the best of qualities, I always liked finding things out for myself instead of just going with what the majority was saying, even when I was very young. The main thing that triggered this attribute was an incident that happened to me when I was thirteen. When I was twelve, I went to the doctor for a check-up before my family and I were going to move to Malaysia for a year, and they told my mom about a new vaccine called Gardasil. image via videodemonews.wordpress.com Gardasil is used to prevent four types of human papillomavirus (HPV). This is supposed to help with certain types of cervical cancers and genital warts. Sounds good right? One of my mom’s very good friends has cervical cancer, so she was quickly convinced by my doctor that I should get the vaccine. It comes in three doses, which should be given over six months. The doctor then explained that only girls between 9-26 were  eligible  to get it  (guys can get it now as well, but this was when the shot first came out.) The fact that the shot was new and that only a certain age range could get it freaked me out a bit, but I didn’t want to get cervical cancer so I allowed the nurse to administer the first dose without much fuss. The shot was probably one of the most painful shots I ever experienced, and I couldn’t move my arm for two days. I decided to consult Google about the vaccine, and found out that there were many horrible side effects associated with the shot. I can’t find the exact one that I was looking at when I was twelve, but according to this article: ‘“Between May 2009 and September 2010, 16 deaths after Gardasil vaccination were reported. For that timeframe, there were also 789 reports of serious Gardasil adverse reactions, including 213 cases of permanent disability and 25 diagnosed cases of Guillain Barre Syndrome,’ Judicial Watch reported.” Other side effects include, seizures, speech problems, paralysis, short term memory loss, blindness, Guillian Barre syndrome, Pancreatitis, Ovarian cysts, and though it may protect some cervical cancers, you can still get it because there are over 100 types. No one is warned about the side effects; they are just bullied into vaccinating their children, and if they don’t they are seen as “bad parents.” image via voices.yahoo.com So after reading up on what the shot could do, I didn’t want to continue the sequence. We went to Malaysia and then when we came back to the states, I had to go in for another check up. I told my mom again that I didn’t want the second shot, which I had mentioned about a dozen times on the ride to the doctors office. She assured me that it would probably be too late anyway, since the series was supposed to be completed within six months. This made me relax. At the very end of the check-up the doctor told me I would be getting three vaccines, Tetanus, DTaP, and the second Gardasil shot. Before I had a chance to protest, she was out of the room, telling the nurse to get them ready. I looked to my mom, telling her that I didn’t want the Gardasil. She hesitated, because she knew I didn’t want it, but she wanted to keep me safe. When the nurse came in, I told her I didn’t want the Gardasil shot, but the nurse told my mom  that the shot was already filled and we would have to pay for it either way so I might as well get it. The nurse didn’t look at me when she replied, even though I was the one who told her that I didn’t want it. I pleaded with my mom, who was caught in a tug of war. I started spurting out how the shot was bad and had killed people, and the nurse laughed and told me that the shot was good for me, and that I shouldn’t believe everything that I read on the Internet. She tried to lunge at me with the shot, but I spun out of the way; I wasn’t going down without a fight. She told me that if I didn’t cooperate, then she would have to get back-up. I told her I would cooperate for the other two vaccines, but not for the Gardasil. The nurse went on to ration with my mom, pretending like I didn’t exist. After two more failed attempts of her trying to administer the shot, she got three more nurses to help her. Two of them grabbed my legs and the third pinned me down to the table, as I screamed for them to stop. It was my body, and therefore my decision, but they didn’t care. My opinion didn’t matter because to them I was just some stupid kid who was probably afraid of needles, and who was disrupting the flow of their day. They injected all three shots into the same armâ€"which they weren’t supposed to do because Tetanus and Gardasil are both very painful and should have been put into different armsâ€"and then patted themselves on the back for giving me the vaccines. One of the nurses who held my leg jokingly said that she would have to put me on her calendar for when I got the third shot because I was a workout. I could have punched her. image via www.macquirelatory.com The doctor came in and gave my mom a card for a psychiatrist who specializes in helping kids get over their fear of shots. That’s the part that angers me the most. I wasn’t scared of the needles. Sure, they aren’t exactly my most favorite things in the world, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that I didn’t want the poison of Gardasil in my body, but they thought I was stupid for thinking medicine could hurt me instead of help. I was treated like I wasn’t a person, like I wasn’t capable of having my own thoughts because I wasn’t eighteen. As I was writing this and revisiting this memory, I almost cried, because it still holds such an impact. I was forced against my will to get something that I didn’t agree with, and that is wrong. The thing is, a lot of people never question shots, because they’ve never had a reason to. Max Meyer, a second year business management economics student at UC Santa Cruz, said, “since vaccines are tested, they are more than likely going to help each person instead of harming them.” I’m definitely not saying that vaccines are bad; I do agree that they can do a lot of good and have helped prevent diseases from spreading. I do, however, think that we ourselves should know more about the vaccines we are getting. Calvin Sainz, a third year neuroscience student at UC Santa Cruz, said “if there was a way for people to want to infect others, they could just tamper with the medical vaccines at the free clinics, so they can be scary.” A main controversy that gets brought up when it comes to vaccines is whether or not they can cause Autism in children. Mary Medeiros, a second year MCD biology student at UC Santa Cruz, said “ a lot of people think that vaccines cause autism, but I don’t believe that at all. Vaccines help prevent diseases, and if you don’t vaccinate your children, they can die at a younger age.” Meyer agreed with Medeiros in saying that vaccines don’t cause autism, that he knows of. This is one of those things that you will have to decide on your own. I think it is important to vaccinate children, though I think that they give too many vaccines at once and therefore autism can be a factor. image via snarkecards.com Basically what I want you to take from this is to know you have a choice, and you should never let someone bully you into doing something that you don’t want to/don’t feel comfortable with. I have now switched to a new doctor, who will listen to me, give her opinion, but also respect mine and not make me feel bad if I don’t want to do something. Have a story to share?

5 Tips for Starting an Indoor Garden

5 Tips for Starting an Indoor Garden Image via lifeofpix.com When skimming any interior design magazine or blog post, you’re bound to run into a bunch of houseplants used as decor. Indoor gardens seem to be all the rage. They’re great for your health, the environment, and they’re nice to look at! You may not have a green thumb, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a wonderful indoor garden to help spruce up your interior space. With proper planning and a little creativity, you’ll be growing some beautiful new plants in no time. Here are five tips to get you started on your indoor garden. 1. Find your light Houseplants are a perfect way to exercise your responsibility muscles in the easiest way. Plants only require two things to grow: sunlight and water. Some plants barely even require that! When looking to start your indoor garden, you’ll want to look for areas (probably near windows) that have the most amount of sunlight throughout the day. These are the spots and rooms that will probably be the future home of most of your plants since most plants do require some form of sunlight. When preparing your indoor garden, keep lighting in mind because it may mean re-arranging already existing furniture or decorations to accommodate new plants. If you don’t have much sunlight in your apartment or home, look for types of plants that require less sunlight and less care. Some options may be bamboo or easy succulent plants. 2. Think vertically Some people may not think they have the space for an indoor garden because all their surfaces already seem to be filled. A great way to fit more plants into a smaller space is to think vertically! With just a quick search on Google or Pinterest, you’ll see loads of design ideas on how to maximize space with plants. You can find vertical mounting walls, shelves, or even hang plants from the ceiling to fit more into a smaller space. Plus, draping plants look even better when they have room to grow downward! 3. Find quirky containers You may dread starting a garden because it means going out and buying loads of new pots and planters. This doesn’t have to be the case. One decorating trend is to plant easy-going plants (like succulents and cacti) in cute containers that you probably already have. Some of these may be things like jars, glass bottles, cans, dishes, mugs, ceramics of any type, and so many more. Really, the possibilities are endless and it won’t require you to purchase ugly and generic looking planters. When doing this, just be sure that you’re choosing the right plant for your container. Some plants require irrigation draining and some will need room to grow. Try and find the perfect fit! 4. Make it useful Sometimes its hard to see the appeal in all the work it takes to buy, plant, and grow an indoor garden. One way to counter this is by growing plants that will be useful to you later on. There are plenty of herbs and spices that can easily be grown indoors. You’d also be surprised about the different uses for plants you may have just bought for aesthetic purposes. Aloe vera is a popular houseplant, but did you know that you can use the goo inside the leaves to immediately heal burns? No need to buy from the supermarket anymore! For many, plants are good enough because they produce cleaner air and are pleasant to look at. These are also great reasons to start an indoor garden. 5. Careful when wet Don’t forget that plants can be messy too! Depending on which plants you’ve chosen for your indoor garden, they may need watering quite frequently and also may need to be drained. Be sure that the plants that might leak have dishes or water catchers underneath so that they don’t drip all over the place. You may need to test some of your containers beforehand to find out whether or not they’re going to leak when you water your plants in the future. This may take some strategic planning on your part when starting your indoor garden. Just remember that a little forethought is better than a moldy carpet! pixabay.com Starting an indoor garden doesn’t have to be a huge hassle, nor do you have to work extra hard to reap huge benefits. With plants, you usually barely have to do anything at all before you have a blooming garden on your hands. Just think about all the wonderful things an indoor garden holds: fresher scents, beautiful blooms, and maybe even an herb or two. People are often surprised about how cheap having a nice indoor garden can actually be. Just a few plants placed here and there can have a huge affect on the feel of your home. Be ready for a livelier space! Looking for an easy way to furnish your off-campus apartment? Renting furniture from CORT saves you time and money. See how easy it is to get great looking furniture without breaking the bank.

How NOT to Deal with a Struggling Student

How NOT to Deal with a Struggling Student My dad once had a math teacher in elementary school who used to say “There’s no such thing as a dumb student, only dumb teachers.” Many times, struggling students cave in under the pressures of excelling classmates, pushy teachers, and distraught parents, concluding that if they can’t get better grades, they must be less intelligent than their peers. In reality, the fault lies primarily in those of us teaching these struggle students, since we tend to assume to a certain degree that the child is in fact not as bright as others and we continually repeat the same methods of teaching in order to get the concept across. First of all, some teachers have the tendency to assume that a student is not very smart if they cannot understand a given concept. I think in most cases it comes as a visceral reaction to the situation and is therefore hard to control. Over time, however, we tell ourselves and those students who look down on their slower classmate that so-and-so is not dumb, jus t different. Although it is often true that some children have learning disabilities and are therefore different, labeling them as such can potentially harm their self-confidence, especially if they are not actually diagnosed as being “different.” My younger brother, who is now a freshman at LMU, went through this very experience in elementary school, due to the inability of his teachers to understand him see the situation from his perspective.By categorizing struggling students as either normal or different based on whether they can understand the material could thus be very harmful. There are also some teachers who have the tendency to repeat the same methods and attempt to apply the same means of instruction to all their students. This is a mistake, however, since there are some students who are better able to grasp the concepts with visual or audio aids. Of course, it would be scientifically inaccurate to say that these students are exclusively “visual” or “tactile” learners, but in the case of struggling students, it may be beneficial to try other approaches when introducing them to a difficult concept. In this way, the material can be absorbed through multiple avenues and hopefully be integrated into a well-rounded understanding of the whole.In conclusion, the challenge posed to teachers and tutors by struggling students has been addressed incorrectly in the past, with these students being labeled as different and therefore becoming even more timid and withdrawn. It would instead be better to treat them as being just as intelligent as their peers whi le at the same time attempting to teach the concept from a different perspective or approach in order to bring out the best in each student.

How Much Does an English Tutor Cost and What is the Difference Between a Teacher and a Tutor?

How Much Does an English Tutor Cost and What is the Difference Between a Teacher and a Tutor?Anyone planning to take a trip to Hong Kong must make an enquiry of how much would they pay for an English tutor, or simply an English teacher. But what is the difference between an English tutor and an English teacher? Well, the main difference is that an English teacher is employed by a school to teach the students English. An English tutor however is not employed by any school and as such, there is no employer to pay and hence no salary to be paid to the tutors.You would also be required to pay a fee to the English tutor because you will have to send the student for a series of classes during the duration of your stay in Hong Kong. After the payment is made, he will be able to do some teaching on his own in your absence and afterwards return back to you.As an English tutor, you are also required to learn different methods to communicate in English. This might be something which is expensiv e for you but for the learner, this method of learning would be an excellent option.After a person has studied in English, he or she can easily get used to speaking in English as they could use their own native language to speak with the other people around them. These people may not speak English as the student converses with them. There are numerous companies which hire English teachers to teach English as their primary language as they claim that the more they teach, the better they are at it and that it also helps them to improve their reading, writing and conversational skills.The costs of English lessons vary depending on the type of company you hire, the range of age group of the learners, the distance to be travelled and also the duration of the lessons. And there are many others that will charge different prices. It is advisable to study the reviews of the company or agencies before hiring an agency.English courses in Hong Kong also come with time and money exchange program s. These programs are useful in learning more about the different aspects of the English language and helping to improve your language skills.English teachers and tutors are therefore useful for anyone who wants to improve their English skills. There are many agencies that can offer great services and at a fraction of the price than those schools, which make them sound more convenient than what they really are.

Tips for Parents 4 Ways to Help Your Child in Music

Tips for Parents 4 Ways to Help Your Child in Music Suzy S. Not sure how to encourage your child in between his or her music lessons? Show your support with the following strategies from Nashville teacher Dave L.: So your child has begged you for music lessons,  chosen an instrument, and is about to begin this new and exciting journey in music what now? Youve just paid a bunch of money for an instrument, instruction books, accessories youre considering the time and money its all going to take in order for them to do this what ELSE can you as their parent or guardian possibly do for your child to help them succeed in their musical journey that the teacher CANNOT provide? This article will give you a checklist of options. The main assumption is only that your child is important to you (obviously!) and you already provide them with a living space some or all of the time. The final assumption is that we as the teacher/parent team want your child to be successful their endeavors. So whats first? 1. Help your child create a special music area. This could be an extra room or their own room. Include items such as a music stand, metronome, perhaps an instrument stand, a place to keep their instruction books, and also an audio source such as an iPod or CD player. This space should be a place where they can play uninterrupted away from outside distractions like their cell phone, pets, friends, and siblings. It should also be an area that is kept clean (by the student) once kids see the value in maintaining this type of area as their own, theyll take pride in ownership, which will spill over into their learning. 2. Understand that interest = practice, and not necessarily the other way around. You obviously want your child to practice as much as his or her teacher does. But neither the teacher nor you as the parent can truly force the student to do this while also expecting them to find enjoyment in playing music. The student must develop an intrinsic motivation to do this. Help your child create a practice schedule that fits with their daily activities if theyre a beginner, 15 minutes a day is a great start. While theyre practicing, peek in once or twice as more of a fan or audience member. Show interest and ask open-ended questions about what theyre doing, like Wow, that sounded really cool how are you making that sound? or Can you show ME how to hold the instrument?   then all of a sudden the student gets to play teacher for a minute and show you what theyre learning, which only strengthens the learning process for them. 3. Help your child create a fun music library that incorporates the instrument theyre playing. Ask your childs teacher for recommendations if you arent sure. Also, bringing them to live concert events that feature a soloist or group playing the instrument of study is a great way to motivate your child. This may also be a nice way to introduce them to music that is exciting to you, as well! 4. Encourage discovery. Allow your child to make his or her own discoveries in music as often as possible. This encourages independence, confidence, and motivation. So many times I see parents come down hard on their kids for not practicing, or smothering the child with criticism, many times with all good intentions (impress the teacher, progress faster, etc.). But its my opinion that this approach isnt best. We want to help them reach their OWN goals. The discovery in this case may be that music just isnt what interests them which is OK! Other students will discover a brand new love for life through music and along the way continue to learn about the world, themselves, and humanity. I believe its our job as educators and parents to help our youth find exactly what theyre looking for. Music is just one of MANY vehicles we can use. Thanks for reading!
