In Ontario do you guys have full inclusion in the classroom or partial or none? Here in New Brunswick, in my district anyways we have full inclusion. It can be good at times, but sometimes when including all we exclude other children it is hard to make a good balance. We do have life skills classes but for the most part everyone is lumped in together. I have only taught in public system and never had the opportunity for the life skills classes. Also the zombie barbies are sweet! We just bought a new house and are not sure what the kids are like in this neighborhood so it makes it sketchy to put stuff out, vandals and such.

Full inclusion? I don't get that term. That would mean that some schools practice exclusion?

At one time there was special programs or classes that some students lets say with autism or extreme fetal alcohol disorder could attend instead of regular public schooling, but now they have full integration policies in our school districts in NB, the inclusion act so all children are together, tho some have special programs that are put in place within the classroom which can reek some havoc upon the teachers taking away from the needs of other students, like I said some good and some bad points.

No, I'm studying to be a nurse and this is my child health placement.

This is officially labeled a "Life Skills Class". The children all have various disorders, Down's, Autism, and others I'm sure. They are the only students in the class, but are integrated with the rest of the school for some events (ie parts of football games, lunches...) depending on what they can handle.

Very similar to the life skills class I have seen, they are included and school assemblies and other activities that promote interaction type skills.

Do you teach special ed Doc? Kids who do the full inclusion down here get their own teachers assistant assigned to them so they arent taking so much of the actual teachers time pulling them away from their other students.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Eleven Mexican nationals were arrested Monday after a three-month investigation into marijuana megafarms. Attorney General Richard Cordray says some of those farms have shown up in Ohio, and farms in Logan and Muskingum counties have been busted.

The U.S. Marshal has custody of the Mexicans, and they made an appearance before a federal magistrate in Dayton federal court.
The investigation started in June after two hunters came across a field of pot near Zanesfield.

The 11 Mexicans face charges of conspiracy to cultivate over 100 marijuana plants. They could get anywhere from five to 40 years in jail if convicted.
Investigators say the pot seized from the megafarms would have been worth about $5 million.

No just regular elementary, we have TAs as well, but usually only one per class (for inclusion kids) if at all. I have bounced between grades and Phys Ed over the last couple years but always elementary (k-5 here). At the moment the TAs are in contract negotiations and are doing a work to rule as oppose to an all out strike.

I used to play it with/for family members who needed a neighbor, I just couldn't take how demanding it got. I had people wanting me to send them nails and sheep and everything all the time, people were sending me notes that started out with some fake salutation or concern and then quickly got to the real farmville business, and I'd just had a baby and it was all a bit too much.
