POPSTeen Saves Toddler From Overturned SUV Sinking in Water But three-year-old Amara Young was not responsive, so Kano started CPR. She quickly started breathing on her own and was eventually transported to Primary Children's Medical Center. Kano says hearing her breathe was one of the best sounds he's ever heard. He says he's no hero and feels blessed to have been in the right place at the right time to help. Kano credits basic life saving skills he learned in Boy Scouts and in a more advanced class he took in high school. FOX 13's Scott McKane has more about the incident.

POPSThree primary school pupils arrested after 'copycat sex attack on boys' It comes just weeks after two brothers aged ten and 11 from Edlington near Doncaster, South Yorkshire were convicted of the worst child on child attack since the murder of Jamie Bulger. Despite their young age, they already had a fearsome reputation in their community when they battered their young victims aged nine and 11 with bricks until the point where one pleaded to be left to die. Thankfully both survived the nightmare in April. As in this latest attack which is said to have taken place in Hengrove Park, the perpetrators allegedly forced the boys to abuse each other. Yesterday, the devastated father of one of the ten year-olds said he believed it was a copycat crime.

POPSHome-Schooler Ordered to Attend Public School According to court documents filed in Laconia, a small city in the central New Hampshire's Belknap County, Amanda is a well-adjusted child whose parents were divorced in 1999. The mother has primary physical custody of Amanda, whom she has home-schooled for several years in math, English, social studies, science, handwriting, spelling and the Bible. The course load, except for the Bible study, is similar to what public students get and the mother's home schooling has "more than kept up with the academic requirements of the school system," the judge's statement said. " believes that exposure to other points of view will decrease Amanda's rigid adherence to her mother's religious beliefs and increase her ability to get along with others and to function in a world which requires some element of independent thinking and tolerance for different points of view," Judge Sadler's ruling said.

POPSTeacher Ignores Pupil With Broken Leg & Eats Her Lunch The committee panel heard that bullying, shouting and door slamming was common and ‘it was a daily occurrence for one of the teachers to be reduced to tears’. Mrs Brace was suspended in 2006 and sacked in 2007 after complaints from fellow staff and parents. The tribunal found one complaint of bullying was proved – but four were dismissed. The most serious complaint, that a child who broke his leg was left in pain while she finished lunch, was proven. However, the tribunal ruled her actions were not malicious but ‘errors of judgement’. Mrs Brace said she would seek a new teaching post ‘as soon as possible’.

POPSTV impairs speech development in young children More: It's the seventh study to suggest that TV hurts children's language development, Strasburger says. A March report from Harvard Medical School found that watching TV neither helped nor harmed children's language skills. Though Christakis acknowledges that there is still some debate about whether watching television is harmful, he says there's no evidence to show that it's helpful. That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no TV for babies under age 2. "We need to avoid parking babies in front of screens," Strasburger says. "Parents need to realize they need to be the primary entertainment for their babies. Parents are movie stars when their kids are babies. It doesn't last long."

POPSThe time bomb of RAPE of young African females. The birth canal of very young females is not developed enough to allow natural child birth. In conflict areas where the aid of proper medical facilities are none existent or too dangerous then obstetric fistula may result. The death of the child is often what saves the mother's life as it then contracts in size. Despite this, she faces expulsion from society for many reason but mainly the odour. The only solution is surgical repair. The operation itself is not difficult.. On TV I've seen a previous sufferer preform the operation under supervision yet she'd not completed primary school! When the bastards rape, they pick the youngest with a sequel like I've outlined above. Our Western media do not link the rapes with the eventual outcome. Why?

POPSKids as young as six taking knives to school continues: This weekend, a primary school child was excluded after the knife he was carrying triggered a metal detector during a scan for weapons at his school in Brent, north London. It is one of more than 300 cases where pupils as young as six have been thrown out of school for carrying or using knives or other bladed weapons over the past five years, according to new figures obtained from 16 education departments across England under the Freedom of Information Act.

POPSTomorrow I start the best job in the world. I worked as a teacher for 14 years at Grangewood School (a wonderful little special school) until alcohol started ruining my life. Now eight years on and six months sober I am returning in a different capacity; as an intervenor for a lovely six year old lad who is deaf-blind and mentally impaired. I can't wait to get started. :-)

POPSYoung Children and Testing Dr. Daniel: High quality early childhood programs assess children’s learning to ensure that the curriculum is meeting young children’s needs. Curriculum and assessment occur in a never-ending cycle that allows teachers and parents to gather evidence of a child's progress in skill development as well as the understanding of concepts. If parents or teachers suspect developmental delays, a developmental screening can let them know if a further diagnostic evaluation is necessary. The input of a specialist combined with the observations of parents and teachers can be used to further individualize the child’s learning environment to maximize their growth and all around development. No one test or assessment should be used to determine a young child's future involvement in educational activities. NAEYC feels that high-stakes testing should not be employed among young children prior to the third grade. Young children are not reliable test-takers.

POPSThe Political Filth Just Keeps On Coming Why is it that the U.S. seems to need to indulge in filthy, vicious and personally destructive political elections. I know that election campaigns are not necessarily the friendliest of circumstances, but why is it necessary for opponents to destroy each other while trying to prove that either one is the best person for the job? As an American I am disgusted by the vile crap that is propagated by opposing campaigns. And the public, although they keep saying they do not approve of these kinds of campaign tactics, continue to respond to them thus encouraging the campaigns to maintain this vicious style.

POPSField Testing Third World Computers This is a very interesting experiment in access and education. The most interesting part is that the children are expected to fix the computers themselves! Actually, I learned a lot of stuff this way - by tinkering - but is it realistically applicable to all the kids? If it works, it will work brilliantly. It is certainly a new way of networking information. Maybe clipmarks should get in on something like this...

POPSWhat can the budget for the Iraq War buy? Doesn't clip as well as I hoped so visit the website: Remarkable, that it is admitted these days (by generals, former administration appointees, and neocon architects of the war) that the war in Iraq is about controlling oil resources, and look what you could do with the money that we've spent on that fiasco. With $611 billion, you could convert all cars in America to run on ethanol nine times over. TheBudgetGraph.com estimates that converting the 136,568,083 registered cars in the United States to ethanol (conversion kits at $500) would cost $68.2 billion. Many, many environment-friendly cars on the road With $611 billion, you could convert all cars in America to run on ethanol nine times over.
