Next schools have to examine their own environment. Is it conducive for crime or learning? When anyone walks into a school building, they can tell right away if authentic learning is taking place and if the school is inviting for learners. From the paint on the walls to the students walk, the halls can reveal a great deal about what type of learning is taking place and who is controlling the school. Most schools are becoming data driven and are recognizing the number of violent occurrences in their school environment. Data is the most useful tool to analyze and evaluate what behavioral strategies are w

From Red to Green: Are Hot Notebooks Cool?
Much like the first Americans who experienced nuclear power, or a TV set in their home, the health repercussions of computers are not entirely known. It is a sobering thought that those who have spent their lives bathed in the glow of their monitors may find themselves decades from now in poor health, with conditions caused from any number of harmful emissions from their desktops, whether chemical or electromagnetic.The Hot TopicLike stilted houses on hurricane coasts, laptops of today seem to be climbing higher and higher off of workspaces in dorm rooms, offices and coffee shops. The "hot" issue with laptops is exactly this. Batteries in laptops run hot; sometimes so hot that they can cause the computer to shut down, that is, if the user can still handle the keys. As a result, these notebook computers are being hefted higher and higher off of their desks. Sometimes this is done with proper stands an

SHOOTINGS, BOMBS, DRUGS, THEFT. You name it. It is happening in our schools and instead of reports decreasing in numbers, the statistics for criminal acts performed by students in schools or around schools are escalating. Has the school system transformed into a mimic prison system? Let’s examine characteristics of some schools: Students enter school walking though metal detectors, random searches, forced to wear uniforms, small portions of food, acrimonious security guards, and minimum learning. Sounds like a prison or a school? It is hard to tell the difference. Although these characteristics are more prevalent in low socio-economic and high crime areas, violence is happening in schools all over the country regardless of social class. This overwhelming problem centers around the disconnect between the community and the school. Cultural influences and curriculum may also contribute to our larger problem. Kids are being conditioned to survive in afflicted environments while attempting to be successful in the classroom.

There are certain necessary aspects schools have to address to problem solve the growing concern of misconduct in schools. Educators need to help develop positive thinking and behavior within students. If we leave it up to what they see on television or what they hear on the radio, then we are in big trouble. And, by “we” I mean every living citizen in this country. The media that kids are more prone to listen to is usually filled with messages of immoral and inappropriate behavior. Educators are competing with the media and have to sell and promote the benefits of education and I do not think that we are always winning. Creating an environment that promotes learning and gets children excited to learn should be the number one goal of all schools.

Schools also have to address communal issues outside of school. There are many schools in areas of poverty and high crime that are suffering academically. Unfortunately, school leaders cannot change the lives that students come to schools with, so if we do not begin to come together as a community, we are doomed. Superintendents, mayors, politicians, business owners, and neighbors need to unite to discuss and correct the issues of the communities so the children will not bring a negative mentality or behavior to school. This refers back to the traditional saying related to schools, “It takes a village to raise to child.” This African proverb was true long ago and definitely has precedence today.

What You Can Do to Stop Foreclosure of Your Real Estate
You have received a notice of foreclosure on your real estate. It may seem hopeless, but the last thing you should do is give up. Many people encounter life-altering events that interfere with their ability to pay their debts. Usually the last payment to be late is the mortgage, but it happens. Too many late mortgage payments mean a possible foreclosure.First and foremost, lenders do not want to foreclose on your real estate. They are not in the real estate business and are willing to work with homeowners. If you have not been able to reach a solution with your lender or you have ignored the lender’s letters and phone calls, then foreclosure is their only option.In the state of California, there are two types of real estate foreclosures — judicial and non-judicial. A judicial foreclosure is granted by a court to a lawsuit brought by the lender against you, and is necessary when a “power to sale” clause was

Courtroom FEA: But How does FEA Work?
Many legal professionals are exposed to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in the courtroom. Having a fundamental understanding of how the method works can help an attorney (i) recognize when FEA can strengthen a case, (ii) choose a capable expert and (iii) develop meaningful challenges to the opposition's expert. As discussed in the last issue of Courtroom FEA, if a loss, injury or death is due to something bending or breaking, FEA can help identify the cause of failure and hence the responsible party. But how does it work?Divide and conquer.But first, let's back up and discuss what is being conquered. FEA is applied to many types of problems, such as temperatures in consumer electronics, airflow around aircraft, and magnetic fields in electric motors. By far the most common application is structural FEA -- determining how a solid body responds to various forces. The structural problem amounts t

Home Theaters
Have you talked about your home theater? Everybody talks about screen resolutions on HDTV sets, people tend to forget about the other important part of the high-def experience: 5.1-channel surround sound. So if you've got yourself a great plasma, LCD, rear-projection HDTV or projector, and you're rocking the built-in speakers you're doing you and your loved ones a serious injustice by using them.True film freaks and audiophiles will probably want to go with specialized individual components, especially if you're trying to fill a large room with bone-rattling and mind-blowing sound. whether it be a small room or large, will they pump out satisfying surround sound for the average music-and-movie enthusiast? Absolutely. The unique feature—be it price point, looks, size, or connections/options. They'll all provide good sound for movies and music, but as always, some perform better than others.

Feeling Caught in Negativity? Go Watch Water
A great philosophy professor named Luke Barber once told me: “If you are feeling caught in negativity and are struggling--go watch water.” My first reaction to that advice was confusion. It was hard to understand how this would apply to work interactions. He continued: “If you watch a river you might notice that water just flows. When it hits a rock it doesn't struggle with the rock, it flows around it. And, if you could watch this water long enough you would see that the water eventually wears away the rock. So, the next time you are facing negativity—let your mind be still for a moment and ask yourself, ‘what would water do?’”Soon afterwards, I had a chance to try it. I was facilitating a senior management meeting and our topic was How to Deal with Difficult People. We first discussed the importance of differentiating people from behaviors. Then, I asked them to list behaviors that can be challenging to deal w

Finally, educators need to pay close attention to the social dynamics among students. How do students interact with each other? Are they playful, sexual, or harmless in their interactions? If schools allow for play fight or horse fight in schools, the students will deem that behavior acceptable and then take it to levels that are more violent. If school personnel ignore sexual contact or inappropriate touching by males or females, the school may expect a large number of student sexual activities or pregnancies. It may sound like an extreme conclusion to draw, but unfortunately, this scenario is highly realistic.

So, how can teachers avoid teaching future criminals?

1. Create a school wide management plan that focuses on promoting positive behaviors instead of a school rule list of what kids should not do. This plan must be communicated to all staff members and just as we expect students to meet standards, we must expect it from adults in schools as well. This means that substitutes, lunch aids, teachers, principals and everyone else need to be consistent in their thought process and response to incidents within the building.

2. Teach and respond to kids in a cultural responsive way. We are at period where just teaching kids academically is not enough. Teachers need to teach in way that will meet the students’ social and cultural needs. This may take extra study on the teacher’s behalf, but it is worth it. The school community will feel enriched and meaningful. If students see no real value of the lesson plans taught in classrooms, they tend to neglect its importance to their lives.

3. Don’t treat them as if they are criminals. No matter the age, kids essentially want and need one thing: A trusting adult who cares and helps them in deficient or weak areas. If teachers and staff talk down to children or treat them unfairly, this creates a frustrated and angry student. In most cases, children have difficulty controlling these rage-type feelings and in consequence act out. The teacher usually automatically punishes the student without any acknowledgement of the real cause of this situation. To put this simple, if we treat them like criminals, students will internalize it and behave in that way. If we treat them like intelligence human beings, their behavior will become positive and will complement the learning climate.
