A single case does not mean anything. You have a woman who being who she is, happens to be HIGHLY INTUNE with her body in a way most people are not, this makes her special. She noticed something early and asked for something irregular. May I suggest that a white pro athlete in the same condition would receive similar treatment. The medical profession is not set for people like her and skin color in this case means nothing.

I have seen all kinds of people treated poorly. My job is to advocate for these people regardless of any circumstance they are in.

If you take events since 1983 (33 years ago) and place them on the scale, I have bad news for you; Most people are going to fall fairly heavy on the scale including Obama, GW Bush, J Bush, Sanders, and Clinton (both). This is quite true when running for POTUS. I am sure that Johnson and Stien will also fall rather heavy on the scale.

I am sure if I take isolated incidents of your life over a 33 year period well you would be a little insane too.

Let us all admit that Olbermann says, he hates Trump and has a political axe to grind.

And the difference between this and 10,000 other sites offering the same thing is . . . ?

More free-ish crap teachers have to wade through.

I can see it now: A glorious curriculum coordinator (aka someone who has little power other than to make teacher lives annoying) sees this and now demands that teachers use this as a new resource as it will be free-ish. This will make more teachers sigh and leave the profession. To bad only the good ones leave who can actually do something else. Those that are left will be frustrated with common core even more and chunk out more crappy lessons.

"Computers are the new primary conduit of communication and learning for this generation."

As a teacher I am amazed at how inept most kids are with computers. I did a simple ctl-c and cmd-tab and ctl-v. Just a simple copy and paste. Students looked at me as if I had just done voodoo.

These are not students new to computers. They were high school seniors who have had 1-to-1 laptop program since 7th grade.

The amount these students do not know is amazing. I taught a college level class as an adjunct. The college students could not use the computer.

The best part of the computer is writing papers. I get longer and better edited papers that are word processed.

Of course the students can get on facebook, games, and other such toys. Real work not really.
