Search A low socioeconomic, culturally diverse secondary school community talks about increasing student ownership, participation, support and safety. Junior secondary students Jason: Shiloh: There's a boy from my class and if he went home and told his mum, his mum would have probably rung up the school and the kids would have heard about it. So you get called a sissy because you told your mum and your mum has to deal with it. And if you fight back it makes it worse. Jason: And some people just put up with it [because] they think that if they tell someone, that they'll get in trouble themselves. Iona: There's stuff happening here that's good and it's making a difference. The senior students did a survey. We got asked what we'd like changed in the school and the kids voted for the toilets and lunch areas being improved and more things we can do if we get picked on. And we're getting that. top Senior secondary students Cathy: Philippe: We, some of the leaders, went to this leadership course with motivational speakers. It was to help leaders get a plan of what we wanted to do in the school.

Extractions: 12 Things Students Can Do To Stop School Violence ... Michigan Safe Schools Initiative MAKING SAFER SCHOOLS When crime, drugs, and violence spill over from the streets into the schools, providing a safe learning environment becomes increasingly difficult. More students carry weapons for protection. Gunfights replace fistfights. Many students must travel through gang turf or groups of drug dealers. Violence becomes an acceptable way to settle conflicts When this happens, children cannot learn and teachers cannot teach. Creating a safe place where children can learn and grow depends on a partnership among students, parents, teachers, and other community institutions to prevent school violence. How do these ideas translate into action? Here are some practical suggestions for young people, parents, school staff, and others in the community.

Thought Of The Day: "Anyone can skate on smooth ice." Doctor's Office - Feature Article As the beginning of the school year nears, parents once again face the challenge of preparing healthy lunches and snacks that their kids will actually eat. After all, you can send your child to school with a well-balanced lunch a home-ec teacher would be proud of, but if he trades his carrot sticks for a cupcake, all your efforts go down the drain. What parents need are ways to make healthy food fun for kids to eat. And since September is not only back-to-school month, but also 'five-a-day' month (in honor of the FDA recommendation that everyone eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day), what better time to incorporate these foods into your family'sdiet. Every parent knows that some foods are more popular with kids than others. For example, most kids like bananas, but may not be so sure about papaya. While you want your child to try new tastes, their lunch box probably isn't the place for that. Keeping kids' taste buds in mind, here are some tips from the Produce Marketing Association for fun, healthy ways to help your kids get their 5 a Day.

Extractions: Americans Won't Swallow Dirty Food Public Rejects USDA Regs Irradiation isn't an Alternative to Clean Food! TomPaine.Com monsense Louis Clark is executive director of the Government Accountability Project . GAP focuses on protecting federal employees who "blow the whistle" on wrongful actions by their employers. Recently, a trial balloon to compromise food safety crashed to earth within 24 hours of its send-up by the United States Department of Agriculture. Its cargo a proposal to cut back on salmonella testing of ground beef destined for public schools might as well have been lead, for how it went over in the marketplace of ideas on food safety. The USDA also signaled its intent to buy irradiated ground beef for the public school lunch program without informing students or parents when it is served. That trial balloon still floats, but is sinking. Various groups have formed to fight the proposal, based on a potpourri of objections ranging from food safety concerns to potential civil liberties violations in public schools. The meat industry had pushed for both proposals. It views salmonella testing on meat for public school lunches as an onerous burden, even though most fast food restaurants currently require such testing. As for irradiated meat, the industry has seen irradiation as a solution to disease-causing bacteria in meat; but the reluctance of the public to knowingly consume irradiated products has severely curtailed the market for them. Opening the vast federal school lunch program to irradiated food will simultaneously open up new markets and help foster broader acceptance of this form of meat processing.

Extractions: Issue 1 September 2003 Alopecia a Hair-Raising Problem for Women In the United States and many other areas of the world, beautiful hair is a source of pride and admiration. Many of us invest a lot of time and money in the color, style, and care of our hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the appearance of our hair can often affect our feelings of confidence and self-esteem. The AAD reports that when people get older, the rate of hair growth slows down. When most men approach middle age, hair thinning and hair loss is generally accepted as an unpleasant but normal part of the aging process. "Hair today, gone tomorrow" may be an amusing pun, but for women with alopecia, its no laughing matter. A Funny Word, not a Funny Situation According to the AAD, alopecia is the term for common hair loss in both men and women. Hair loss for men typically occurs above the forehead and on the top of the head, and is referred to as "male pattern baldness." Hair loss for women begins as a gradual thinning on the top of the head, progressing toward the forehead. Women do not go completely bald, but the scalp often becomes visible through the thinning hair. Medscape Womens Health eJournal reports that alopecia in women is more common than we think, and that excessive hair loss can be psychologically devastating to some women. Many women do not report it to their doctors and try to treat the problem cosmetically, by styling their hair to cover the thinning areas.

You know what that means: It's time once again to start packing the dreaded lunch. But, said Karen Erickson, a Denver home economist and mother of four, with a little imagination, packing lunch can be more pleasure than chronic pain. "To make it interesting for me, I try to come up with something fun and balanced," she said. The payoff can be huge. "It's fun when Peter comes home from school and says, 'Wow,' or 'Mom, I really liked the tuna without the bread.' That makes me feel like it's worthwhile." Erickson has two school-age children: Peter, 7, and 5-year-old Luke, who is just entering kindergarten. If you really want to know what's going on with lunch, she said, volunteer in the school lunchroom. "It's eye-opening," she said. "It helped me see what other kids were bringing."

Extractions: Skip to navigation links School life - School administration: The duty to provide free meals to eligible pupils, paid lunches where parents request them and to comply with national nutritional standards rests with the local authority (LA) , except for schools whose budget share includes an amount in respect of meals and other refreshments. The LA or governing body may provide meals or other refreshments to pupils, either on the school premises or elsewhere where education is being provided. They must also provide facilities for pupils not taking school meals to eat meals that they bring to school. These facilities include accommodation, furniture and supervision so that pupils can eat food they have brought from home in a civilised way and in suitable conditions. The school cannot charge pupils for using these facilities. Free school meals Children whose parents receive Income Support (IS); Income-based Job Seekers Allowance (IBJSA); support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999; or Child Tax Credit, but who are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and whose annual income (as assessed by the Inland Revenue) that from 6 April 2005 does not exceed £13,910 are entitled to free school meals. Children who receive IS or IBJSA in their own right are also entitled to free school meals. All other pupils must be charged the same amount for the same quantity of the same item, although the meals may be subsidised. Neither the governing body nor the LA has the power to provide free meals to any other pupils.
