Because writing about social work can be funny, too! So often, the only way you get what you need in this field is to kind of be a pain in the ass. No one wants to, but you have to. Lots of people don’t check their voicemail. Or they don’t answer their phone. Or check their email. They might not even go here. So you have to be “proactive.” That’s the nice way of saying “stalker.” It’s fine, no charges have ever stuck. But it’s the way things get done. Not that I’ve considered that. Anyway. You need to st...

Silvia Straka's SWRK4200 Class Blog: Infantilization of older adults by professionals
http://swrk4200.blogspot.com/2010/09/infantilization-of-older-adults-by.html
Silvia Straka's SWRK4200 Class Blog. Monday, September 27, 2010. Infantilization of older adults by professionals. Is considered a form of elder abuse. It's when older adults are treated like children by the people around them. In our society, adulthood is equated with autonomy and independence. Anyone who is dependent on others is considered to be childlike. Not too long ago, that included women. And very often it happens to older adults. I gave my students a reading by Zauszniewski et al (2004). In pri...

Silvia Straka's SWRK4200 Class Blog. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Privatization of home care. According to Mullaly (2007), "neo-conservatives have called for a return to the economic values of the private marketplace" (p. 72). This includes a strong trend to the privatization of functions normally considered a state responsibility. One of these areas is home care. By the Canadian Healthcare Association. Having worked in a Quebec CLSC. Shows they are paid $6 per hour less in that province). I suspect thi...

IEP, as simple as 7 3 9. | SocialJerk
https://socialjerk.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/iep-as-simple-as-7-3-9
Because writing about social work can be funny, too! IEP, as simple as 7 3 9. We’re back to school. Pencils, books, teachers’ beautiful looks, all that. It’s a delight. I’m also back to fighting with school staff. I swear, they started it! And partly because I had a mother who worked in education, knew the system, and knew her kids’ rights. She also knew not to believe us when we said we didn’t have homework. For the last time, who are you and how do you keep getting access to my blog? If you don’t...

You’re in big trouble, mister. | SocialJerk
https://socialjerk.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/youre-in-big-trouble-mister
Because writing about social work can be funny, too! You’re in big trouble, mister. Children are great. I mean, they are the future. They’re made of sugar and spice and shit. They give your life meaning. At least, that’s what people tell 29 year olds who haven’t gotten around to procreating yet. Then the kid smacks you in the face and laughs. Discipline. It’s not easy. But there are ways to not be terrible at it. Parents we work with usually recognize that they need to stop hitting their kids. Becaus...

The Social Cynic: Long time, no blog
http://socialworkcynic.blogspot.com/2010/09/long-time-no-blog.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. Long time, no blog. I just realized that I have not posted an entry in nearly a month and am quite embarrassed considering my vow approximately one month ago to post at least one entry every other day. Apologies to anyone who actually gives a rat's behind, but I have been swamped with many unfunny events recently. Have I gotten used to the fact that some people would rather have their meth than their children safe? September 18, 2010 at 9:51 AM. Good to see you getting back in...
