Testing

Testing

The think that we are not looking at the child holistically when it comes to standardize test. If a child has a disability   they take the same test.  For example if a child with autism they are on the   first grade level but in the fourth grade the will take the test on the fourth grade level.  In my opinion   I feel that we are teaching to the test. In the Philadelphia School District every six week the students take bench mark test.

 I choose the PISA standardize Test. This test focus on math, reading, and science.  I compare United States with China. Shanghai lead the world in the PISA Score. Compare to China the United States is far behind science, math, and reading.  Shanghai student get out school at 4pm and cram homework until bedtime.

 

I think that we as teacher should come up it test that help the whole children. Also I think we should not be teaching to the test.  I also feel that our student are under a lot of pressured when it comes to taking test .Over all standardize test is the way school are measure how good school are doing.

Gun violence with Children

Gun violence with Children

 

 I choose violence I focus on gun violence the effect in has children .My experience with gun violence is the effect it was my students when the parents shot or killed by gun violence.  My student are withdrawal and some have posttraumatic when the here a loud bang they drop to the floor or the hold to me real tight. The effect of gun violence negative short- and long-term psychological effects, including anger, withdrawal, posttraumatic stress, and desensitization to violence .Gun violence is the number I killed of black children.  Between the year of 1963 to 2010 60,000 black children and teenage.  

 

 I really did not found any information of gun violence on children. Around the world I just found information of the school massacre in Dun lane 1996 were 16 children between ages of five and six were killed.  From the massacre the gun laws in London   are tighter.

child development and public health

Child development and public health



I choose the  maternal mortality. I pick this topic because my cousin all most die give birth to fifth child. She develop  preeclampsia during pregnancy and had the baby early. I pick this topic I wanted to know more information  about maternal mortality. 

I also pick this topic because at work yesterday I saw a powerful video by Merck on the campaign to end maternal mortality in developing country .

In United States 12,7 death per 100.000 live birth.

In the developing country  estimated  "287,000 maternal deaths occurred worldwide in 2010.
This means that each day about 800 women die worldwide because of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Developing countries account for 99 per cent of the deaths. Two regions, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, accounted for 85 per cent of global maternal deaths"( childinfo )
The Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rate of maternal  death  and South Asia have the second 
highest rate of maternal death. ( childinfo)

The goal is to end maternal mortality in the next decade.  Merck have a website  called Merck  for mothers. Also Merck have committed  10 millions dollars to India  for the next  three years  to reduce maternal mortality.  The company that I work  Maternity Care Coalition for  have received  a grant for ten  to do study on  pregnant  women in the city of Philadelphia  from Merck. I am looking forward to more research  on maternal mortality.

Birth experience

I do not have any birth experience. I will be talking about my birth I was born on January 8 1973 on Monday at 9:44 pm. I weight 8 pound and 11ounce 21 inch long. According to my mother she craved water during her pregnancy and she had night sickness.  My mother said I was born nine after her birthday that is April 7. I choose this example because it was only one I had. I think childbirth is important for child development and if the child is premature born there are some delays in child development.

 I choose Japan. I learned that all pregnant women in Japan are married. The women stop working once they become pregnant. The Japanese women are required by the Maternal Child Health Act to register their pregnancies with the local government.  The only similarities is that genetic screening test they do amniocentesis. The different is the Japanese women see their fetus as inherently a work in progress or perfectible and   United States idea having normal and abnormal fetus. I learn that pregnancy in Japan is very important to women health.  I think that Untied States should adopt system like Japan to help with women health.

Quotes

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.

Education quotes by Lyndon Baines Johnson

“The challenge of social justice is to evoke a sense of community that we need to make our nation a better place, just as we make it a safer place.”

My Mother Is my biggest   support in everything that  I do


My Aunt Loretta is the person who name me

My Grandmother   who made all my cloths

My cousins who I share  my  childhood memories with

My godfather  who the positive male role model in life

My grandfather who took to every McDonald's in the city of Philadelphia that was our bonding time


 All of these people made  me the woman am today

this my favorite poem

Children Learn What They Live
         

 If children live with criticism,
               They learn to condemn.
          If children live with hostility,
               They learn to fight.
          If children live with ridicule,
               They learn to be shy.
          If children live with shame,
               They learn to feel guilty.
          If children live with encouragement,
               They learn confidence.
          If children live with tolerance,
               They learn to be patient.
          If children live with praise,
               They learn to appreciate.
          If children live with acceptance,
               They learn to love.
          If children live with approval,
               They learn to like themselves.
          If children live with honesty,
               They learn truthfulness.
          If children live with security,
               They learn to have faith in themselves and others.
          If children live with friendliness,
               They learn the world is a nice place in which to live.
