What ARE “Learning Disabilities” Anyway?

What are “learning disabilities”? In practical life? In the Law? In Public School?

What does it mean for a student to find that she or he has a “learning disability”?  Are these true disabilities? Is this labeling? Is labeling necessary? Are there any such thing at all?

So, a child has problems in school. What kind of problems fit in this category? What can be done?

We will answer those questions today, and more like them next time what happens in private schools, in homeschooling, and what are the most important tips on  how to proceed so that your child can experience a successful life.

Learning Disabilities Association of Texas https://ldatx.org/  Notice, the most important thing they think you need to know is that you may at any time, by law, request an evaluation for your student. Check out what they say. Remember, I said, to do it in writing, certified/return receipt requested. Then, you will get a response.

 

Write a Book or Start a Company over the Summer

Today, we bring you some summer business projects for students, especially those with “learning disabilities.”

More ideas for the summer. Inspired by Richard Eberiga, we consider the idea of writing a book or starting a company over the summer. Yes! it can be done. Check out the idea. I think the greatest hurdle is the negative belief hurdle. Get over that, and show the student a few skills and great achievements can happen! This is practical faith for success.

While preparing this episode for posting, we discovered that Bishop Dr. Eberiga passed last summer. He was pastor of iFreedom Church in San Antonio, prophet, speaker, trainer, author. He was an inspiration and we mourn his untimely passing.

Presumably, for this reason, www.teenceo.org is no longer available. I hope that great lives in our listeners will be a great tribute for this great man.

This idea of Teen CEo is a particularly helpful direction for “learning disabled”  student, students who are tired of school, discouraged by the repeat drilling of skills they find difficult if not impossible, and the general mis-match between them and the culture of schooling.

Gardening with children

 

Homeschooling? Yes, You Can Teach Reading. Yes, You Can figure Out What Your Child Needs. Here is Help.

New to Homeschooling? Then, I can guess your top 3 questions. Here are the answers:  Yes, most can homeschool.  But can I get my little one over the hump of reading and writing?  Yes, you Can Teaching Reading and Writing. Yes, You can figure out what your child needs. Here is encouragement and real help.

Lots of people are starting to homeschool. Fortunately, we have faced the fears before you. Welcome. Fear one: Can you do it? Yes. Can you teach reading and writing. Well, yes, if you find out how. BTW, it is teaching Writing (handwriting) and only THEN reading. Bet you didn’t know that. Know why? Because your model is public schooling.

You know public schooling is doing a bad job now. Did you know that it has been doing an increasingly bad job for 100 years?  Yes. The good part about that is that we have other methods that have shown for 100 years that it can be done better. I will let you in on the secret on that teaches handwriting, reading, and composition the most easily. It is like games. For 4 year olds! They love it.

NO MORE DREARY DEADENING STULTIFYING WORKSHEETS. Throw out the worksheets (for teaching handwriting especially.) They don’t work. Did they work for you? Were they fun? Do you want to teach your kids that learning is not fun? That they can’t do it? if so, use worksheets. if not… listen to this episode.

Religious Exemptions

Since V&@# safety is probably the largest child safety question, and regular V#$@#$ may be the largest learning problem, we are passing along what legal and medical opinions we know, and offering a short list of possible claims for religious exemptions based on the Bible or the Judeo-Christian traditions. The inclusion of fetal tissue is NOT the only reason.

KrisAnne Hall, attorney and teacher of The Constitution says there is no argument in court against the content of your strongly held conviction. Judge O’Connor has recently ruled that there is no c0V!d exception from The First Amendment.  There are many more reasons to object than fetal cells alone. Further, the Judeo-Christian traditions tasks parents with responsibility for their children and does embrace science and reason — without contradicting the mandates of faith.

Please notice that religious convictions are not mere preferences, but convictions of conscience. These convictions and the right to one’s conscience is a strongly held principle in Christianity, European American culture and US Law. Remember Martin Luther saying, “Here I stand. I can do no other.”  Convictions like this one will die for…. or live for. Martyring others does not work in lands where convictions like this are based on ultimate, eternal reality. That is why the Judeo-Christian world has the been the free, prosperous, friendly world — rather than the world of tyranny. Religious convictions are good for society. That is why we have the First Amendment trumping any other law and have always had religious exemptions to any other mandate.

V@## Mandates are the number one threat to children, health, safety, and society. That the Constitution, the law, and even religious exemptions have been ignored illustrates the dire tyranny of the situation. Please get involved.

Bible Verses That are Reasons for Strongly Held Convictions

Body is the Temple

1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 6:20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Jesus Being Fully and Exactly Human

Well established center of Christian theology that Jesus was both fully human and fully God. Here is GotQuestions quick references for that: Scripture is clear that Jesus is God (John 20:28; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8), and it is equally clear that He is truly human (Romans 1:2–4; 1 John 4:2–3).

Blood of Jesus (also there are verses about being saved by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus.)

Joh_6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Eph_2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Heb_10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb_12:24  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb_13:20  Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
1Pe_1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1Jn_1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Rev_1:5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Rev_17:6  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Nephilim

Gen_6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen_6:4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Mark of the Beast

Rev_13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev_13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev_14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

Rev_14:11  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Rev_15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Rev_16:2  And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

Rev_19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev_20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Dr. Ardiss quotes a variety of conventionally published sources that indicate that myocarditis is to be expected not only from the v%x but also in people who have c0v!d long term.

According to Dr. Lee Merritt’s website, www.reebelmedicine.com  Notice that she is past president of the AMA, it seems clear that that the intent of the v@x is indeed population reduction.  Thus, use of the vaccine is contrary to reason, ethics, Judaism, Christianity, and any other religion that respects life or the creator’s image in creation.
