It's pretty amazing that it's been one year already since the terrible day at NIU. I remember a lot of it; from waiting for the bus at 3 to waiting for my ride back home. We stayed away from school for a week, and then we had volunteer counselors coming from all over the states to help the school heal. Classes were changed; assignments were dropped or extended. Safety has also changed around campus. We no longer have late night student desk jobs, and we have hired red coats.
Now it's the first year anniversary of the tragedy, and the bigheads decided to establish a memorial at the place of Cole Hall. I can still remember this past fall semester when new students tried to open the doors of Cole Hall; they don't understand the history of the campus.
True. That's why people are given another chance.
My clinical course textbook gets me irritated sometimes.
It's common sense. You will be treated as you are dressed.
Common sense? Really? Based on what study? My textbook does not citations on anything it is saying. It's not credible in my opinion. If I had a choice, I wouldn't read it.
Last thing:
It is not what is
but what is perceived that counts.
my textbook:
Wong, H., & Wong, R. (2009). The First Days of School. Mountainview: Harry K. Wong Publications.
I spent $81 on a textbook for a class I'm not quite sure I need. It's a technology course that's supposed to help future teachers integrate technology and media into their lessons. I took a quick break from reading the assigned chapters because I found something so unspeakable...
I thought a book that costed $81 (used) would be credible and professional, but one of the first things it did was to cite wikipedia. That's right. A college textbook just cited wikipedia.
