Sandy My Name: May 2013

http://sandymyname.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 26, 2013. Students were a mix of children from both the rancher-controlled town and the far-flung reservation. Sometimes you would see them waiting in cars parked in front of the bars. There was not a lot to do out there, which contributed to the problem of alcohol abuse. Now, looking back, I can see faces of FASD. Pictured above is Morgan Fawcett. A young Native American from Alaska affected by FASD. This link describes his background, his work. Sunday, May 19, 2013. Sunday, May 12, 2013.

Tuesday, November 26, 2013. As a society, educating students with FASD is perhaps our most important responsibilities. There should be no diagnosis required. If a student fits the behaviors. They should get the services. Beginning in elementary school, we must provide alternative programs so that these students do not give up. We must recognize the importance of vocational education.

Monday, November 11, 2013. FASD and the School to Prison Pipeline. Photo Credit: http:/ www.hpjc.org/pipeline. Kudos to Broward County, Florida.
