Queen Anne high school

Map of important sites of interest in the old Queen Anne high school, Dunfermline, with an emphasis on the mid to late 1980s, the school’s finest years. (Coincidentally, the ones during which I was a pupil.) Following that period, it went into a period of decline, which culminated in its demolition in 2003.

While compiling the notes, I was surprised to learn just how many of my memories of high school are to do with Freaky Philp – a skinny, red-headed and quite violent boy who terrified me in earlier years but turned out to be a pretty okay guy. I wonder what he’s up to these days…

You can see it on Google maps here. Oddly, while the satellite view still shows the school before it was demolished, the street view shows the new housing estate that was built in the past few years.

How might school influence children’s development of metacognition skills? Think of an example if you can?

Question by : How might school influence children’s development of metacognition skills? Think of an example if you can?
How might school impact children’s metacognitive knowledge acquisition and performance on memory tasks? Share an example (either that you’ve experienced, or that a child that you know well has experienced) of an instance where you had to remember something, and the strategy that you used. Do you think that this kind of knowledge is universal? Who might NOT use memory strategies?

I think you should do your own homework otherwise you will never learn or be able to help people

New National Report, Florida Initiative Puts Focus on School Breakfast

Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) March 18, 2013

The move is on to help young people boost their nutrition and overall health and wellness, especially on the heels of a new report that reveals teens aren’t regularly eating the most important meal of the day breakfast and aren’t as active as they should be on a daily basis.

March is National Nutrition Month, and several initiatives have been announced nationally and statewide to help boost childrens health and wellness.

A new report called, The Wellness Impact: Enhancing Academic Success Through Healthy School Environments(1), reinforces the learning connection the crucial link between quality nutrition, physical activity and academic performance. Finding a balance between academic rigor and health and wellness efforts in the school environment has become an increasing priority. The report was released by the GENYOUth Foundation, National Dairy Council (NDC), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American School Health Association (ASHA). Key findings from the report suggest:

More than half (62%) of all teens say they do not eat breakfast every day of the week.(2)

Breakfast eaters have better attention and memory than breakfast skippers.(3)

Three-in-four high school students aren’t active for the recommended 60 minutes each day.(2)

Students who were more active during school performed better on standardized tests for reading, math and spelling.(4)

Studies show that students who eat school breakfast increase their math and reading scores and improve their cognitive speed and memory. Research also links eating breakfast at school to improvements in student behavior, fewer absences, and limited class disruptions.

While many schools lack the funds to execute school wellness policies or to start breakfast programs, progress was made in Florida earlier this month when Floridas Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam announced a partnership with the Dairy Council of Florida to support Florida schools in implementing innovative methods to promote breakfast.

Research indicates that we can improve learning, cognitive development, test scores and behavior by ensuring more students eat a balanced breakfast, said Commissioner Putnam. So were doing just that. Thanks to the generous support of the Dairy Council of Florida, were working with schools to expand breakfast programs and increase student participation.

The Dairy Council of Florida committed $ 300,000 to aid six Florida school districts in increasing breakfast participation using innovative methods like providing grab-n-go options at the bus drop-off area, allowing breakfast carts to distribute meals in the hallway and serving breakfast in the classroom.

The Dairy Council of Florida is also part of the Fuel Up to Play 60 school wellness program a joint program of the National Dairy Council and National Football League and in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The program encourages students to take charge in making small, everyday changes toward a healthy lifestyle at school. In partnership with GENYOUth Foundation, Fuel Up to Play 60 has provided schools with more than $ 10 million in funds to help develop healthy in-school initiatives ranging from breakfast programs to walking clubs.

Children spend the majority of their daytime hours at school, so its important that we work to boost their nutrition during that time, said Dairy Council of Florida Registered Dietitian Alyssa Greenstein. Our programs and partnerships are not only meeting the wellness needs of children throughout Florida, were working to improve their minds and bodies, which ultimately creates healthier and smarter communities.

New Vitality Health Foods, Inc. Outlines What Parents Can Do to Help Keep Their Childs Brain and Body Thrive All School Year

Orland Park, Illinois (PRWEB) August 28, 2012

Back- to- school is in full swing for college, high school and grammar school children alike. School supplies, new clothes are being checked-off the necessity list, but what some parents are missing is what their childs brain needs this school year to function at its best. New Vitality Health Foods, Inc. outlines what vitamins and supplements help to maintain health and systemic balance in the brain and nervous system and support the immune system.

The human body performs at its optimal level when it is given proper food and nutrients coupled with a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and adequate rest. When a piece of this health equation is absent, the bodys functions suffer. Children, whose bodies are still developing require a steady stream of vitamins and supplements in order to ensure proper growth and functioning, shared Barbara Griffin, NMD, CNC, Certified Gluten Practitioner, owner of New Vitality Health Foods, Inc.

Diana Sourek, MS, CNC, Certified Gluten Practitioner, and manager of New Vitality Health Foods, Inc. continued, There are numerous vitamins and nutrients that are especially beneficially for children. But there are several that are most critical on development, function, and protecting a childs immune system. New Vitality Health Foods, Inc. carries several varieties of each of the following vitamins and supplements which are most critical for growing children. These items are available in store or on line at http://www.newvitalityhealthfoods.com.

Docosahexaenonic acid (DHA)

DHA is sometimes referred to a brain food. Fats make up 60% of the brain and the nerves that run every system in the body, and DHA is the main structural component of brain tissue. The greatest amounts of DHA are found in the brain, eyes and nervous system. The heart also needs DHA for optimal function. A study published in the April 2010 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that DHA may be lower in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. DHA has also been shown to have positive effects on mood and mood disorders. Since children are still developing, it is especially important that they get enough DHA to support the development and functioning of the central nervous system. DHA is found in mainly fatty fish such as salmon and tuna. Eggs, organ meats, walnuts, flax seeds, and canola oil each have varied amounts of DHA in them. DHA is also available in a supplement form for children.

Fish Oil

Omega-3 fatty acids, found naturally in oily fish such as mackerel, sardines or salmon, have long been known to be important for brain function. Parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, dyslexia or dyspraxia may already be aware of promising research into the role of fish oils. But now fish oil supplements are being stressed for all children since regular doses of fish oils can dramatically boost young children’s performance at school. Parents need to use caution when selecting a fish oil supplement. First, ensure the supplement contains all three essential fatty acids (DHA, EPA and DPA) in order to experience the full benefits of fish oil. Second, check to see what the source of the fish oil is coming from. Often in off the shelf products, those not purchased at a health food store where quality products are found, the source of the fish will not be named and will instead say fish oil or marine lipids. This is often done to hide low quality sources of fish, which can put a number of harmful metals and toxins in your body. In addition, they often do not go through the same rigorous purification process as higher quality fish oil products.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for the body to function properly. Previous research has linked the sunshine vitamin with bone health and enhanced immunity, along with lowered risk of osteoporosis, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, cognitive decline and depression. New research shows that this critical nutrient can also help lower the risk of diabetes and asthma in kids. (http://www.doctormurry.com) Children suffering from vitamin D deficiency often don’t have symptoms until it starts to cause problems, but your doctor can test for vitamin D levels if a problem is suspected. If the deficiency is detected early enough before bones stop growing, there’s enough time to prevent permanent damage.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps form and repair red blood cells, bones, and tissues. One of the most important reasons for a child to get enough vitamin C is the role it plays in collagen production. Collagen is the main component of your bones, skin, connective tissue and gums. Without proper collagen production, healthy growth and development cannot occur. It also plays a significant role in the body’s ability to absorb iron. Without proper absorption of iron, your blood and the health of your cardiovascular system is compromised. Fruits and vegetables are the number one source of vitamin C, including citrus fruits, peppers, melon, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, berries, cauliflower and squash. Vitamin C is also available as a supplement and in most multivitamins.

Solaray Focus For Children

Solaray Focus for Children (60 Tabs) is a brain support tablet for children. This product is designed to give the brain an added boost that helps promote focus and productivity. Additionally, Focus for Children is formulated to be safe and effective for children. The ingredients of the tablets have all been shown to be effective in support of the brain, especially Phosphatidylserine.

How hard is Medical School after you get accepted? Seriously. I want to be a doctor.?

Question by FracHand: How hard is Medical School after you get accepted? Seriously. I want to be a doctor.?
Can someone please explain some things, not only to me, but the rest of the future potential doctors reading this.

How hard is Medical School? I don’t mean the crazy studying and sleep schedules, I understand that’s given, I’m talking about the flood of information in such a short amount of time. The thought of it just seems astronomical. I’ve looked at every curriculum for every kind of doctor and trust me, I’ve not seen one yet that looked easy. I think I have an exceptional, partly eidetic memory, but I haven’t went up against anything such as med school. I think if you have what it takes to get accepted, you have what it takes to get through. It just seems like a lot, that I’m going to someday complete.

After graduation with an MD degree, a resident training must take place.
- is resident training competitive like med school?
-does your residency training decide what part of medicine you practice?
- If so, can you get stuck doing something you didn’t want to do?
- Is there classwork involved in resident training? What happens if you fail at this point? Just general questions about becoming a doctor if anyone would like to contribute, preferably a doctor, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All of this is assuming all boards and state licensing requirements are met.
