Great article. I think of all the ways now to record and play back lectures and presentations with ipods and other devices. Using technology as a learning tool and taking the stress out of learning. I bet he remembers far more from his classes than the other students.

It all starts with teaching them to love and care about themselves, the world around them, and the other people that reside upon it. What we need are kids who can be leaders, heroes, and pioneers. Kids who will realize the importance of community and that it extends beyond themselves to all the people around them and all the organisms around them. So how do we teach kids to care about themselves, the planet, and each other? -

After a monthlong stay in the hospital and being prescribed the powerful painkiller Oxycontin, Hess continued to use the drug against his doctors' orders, surreptitiously obtaining pills.
Within a year of first being prescribed the painkiller, he found himself in rehab. He was just 19 years old.
"I was in college when it first became a real problem. I lost interest in school, stopped going to class, my relationships with friends and family deteriorated," Hess, now 24, told ABCNEWS.com.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Choking Game
I recently heard a story in the news about the latest craze. It seems that teens are getting high without the use of substances like drugs and alcohol. It's called "The Choking Game, The Fainting Game, Black Out, or Pass Out." The demographic is pre-adolescent and adolescent boys. They use a rope, a belt, their hands, or some other kid of tool to cause temporary asphyxiation. They usually choke themselves or each other until they pass out. The effect is a dream-like state of euphoria that lasts for a few seconds/minutes.
It's obvious that this can cause neurological damage due to a lack of oxygen to the brain. There have been reported deaths due to the choking game. Because this phenomenon is not well-known and misunderstood, it is important to be aware of the symptoms:
* Your child keeping a rope, or plastic bag
* Bloodshot eyes
* Headaches
* Marks on the child's neck
