“Do poor children have less ‘language ability’ than rich ones? The way the term is being used above certainly makes it sound as if they do. But no, they don’t. Linguists have known for years that all children—including poor children—have impressive language ability. The vast majority of children enter school with vocabularies fully fit for everyday life, with complex grammar and with deep understandings of experiences and stories. It has been decades since anyone believed that poor and minority children entered school with ‘no language’ (Labov, 1972; Gee, 1996). Every human being, barring those with very serious disorders, acquires a complex native language early in life, a language fully fit for the task of leading daily life in a human culture.” (GEE, James Paul. Situated Language and Learning: a critique of traditional schooling. London, Routdlege, 2004.)

“The ‘fourth-grade slump’ (Chall et al. 1990) is the phenomenon where some children seem to acquire reading (i.e. pass reading tests) fine in the early grades, but fail to be able to use reading to learn school content in the later grades, when the language demands of that content (e.g. science) get more and more complex. The fourth-grade slump is made up of kids who can ‘read,’ in the sense of decode and assign superficial literal meanings to texts, but can’t ‘read’ in the sense of understanding, in any deep way, informational texts written in fairly complex language. From remarks like the one quoted above, it would certainly seem that the problems poor and minority children have with learning to read must lie, for the most part, some place else than a lack of early phonemic awareness training or other early ‘basic skills’ training. The fourth-grade slump tells us this much (because here we see kids who have mastered early reading skills of the sorts traditionalists stress, but still can’t read to learn in the later grades).” (GEE, James Paul. Situated Language and Learning: a critique of traditional schooling. London, Routdlege, 2004.)

Common Side Effects of Chemo and Radiation on kids 

    Chemo and radiation cause similar side effects. Chemo's side effects depend on the type of drug used, the dosage, and a child's overall health. These effects are more likely to affect the whole body. Radiation's side effects, on the other hand, tend to affect the area being treated. But they do still depend on the dose of radiation given, the location on the body, and whether the radiation was internal or external. Some of them are: fatigue, flu-like symptoms, pain, gastrointestinal problems, skin and weight changes, hair loss, kidney and bladder problems, anemia, blood clotting problems, neutropenia, infection. Besides that both chemo and radiation — specifically to the head and neck — can lead to mouth sores, sensitive gums, an irritated throat, and an increased risk of tooth decay.
    Kids with neutropenia need to take special precautions against germs. Like all kids, they should wash their hands well and often, especially before eating, after using the bathroom, and after touching animals. They also need to avoid crowded indoor places or visiting with friends or family members who have contagious illnesses such as a cold, the flu, or chickenpox.
    Cells that help blood to clot, called platelets, are another type of blood cell that can be affected during cancer treatment, especially chemo. Low platelets, orthrombocytopenia, can lead to bleeding. This may cause small red spots on the skin, bloody or black bowel movements, vomit, or bleeding from the nose, gums, or line site (the area where fluids and medicines are given to people with cancer). Kids with a low platelet count have to take it easy to reduce the risk of bleeding. That means avoiding rough play and contact sports (like football), and brushing with a soft toothbrush and flossing very gently. In very serious cases of thrombocytopenia, a child might need a blood transfusion.
    Most side effects start to go away after cancer treatment ends and the healthy cells have a chance to grow again. Sometimes, though, cancer treatment can cause changes to a growing body. These long-term side effects can include permanent damage to the heart, lungs, brain, nerves, kidneys, thyroid gland, or reproductive organs. In some cases, kids and teens who’ve had some types of chemotherapy have a higher risk of developing a second type of cancer later in life. Cancer treatment has come a long way. But it can be hard for kids and teens to cope with the sometimes painful or uncomfortable side effects of treatment. Fortunately, doctors have many ways to make treatments easier to manage.

Supreme Court Appears Ready to Let Trump End DACA Program

The justices are considering whether the Trump administration can shut down a program that shields about 700,000 young immigrants from deportation.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Tuesday appeared ready to side with the Trump administration in its efforts to shut down a program protecting about 700,000 young immigrants known as “Dreamers.”

The court’s liberal justices probed the administration’s justifications for ending the program, expressing skepticism about its rationales for doing so. But other justices indicated that they would not second-guess the administration’s reasoning and, in any event, considered its explanations sufficient.

THREATS AND PROMISES IN BRAZIL’S LAWLESS AMAZON


1-NOVO PROGRESSO, BRAZIL — In early August, Adecio Piran wrote an article for this Amazon town’s news website announcing a “Day of Fire,” to be started on August 10. The post suggested a coordinated criminal effort among local landowners and cattle ranchers to burn newly cleared rainforest — much of it on public land. The unnamed organizers of the collective action, Mr. Piran wrote, wanted to draw the attention of President Jair Bolsonaro.


2-“Because of the larger deforestation rate in this area, people were saying they had to burn fires at the same time to get the attention of the president,” Mr. Piran said, “to show there are producers here who want to push ahead with cattle, with the land and be productive in the region.”


3-But days later, as smoke and fires across the Amazon caught the world’s attention, bringing international outrage and condemnation of Mr. Bolsonaro’s gutting of Brazil’s environmental protections, Mr. Piran said he was threatened and told to take his article down from the Folha do Progresso news site. When Mr. Piran refused, he received death threats. He temporarily fled town and sought protection from the police.


4-In September, I traveled to this dusty frontier town with a film crew for The Dispatch to look into the so-called Day of Fire and to meet with rural producers who appeared to brazenly flout Brazil’s environmental laws.


5-This year, the nearby Jamanxim National Forest, a federally protected rainforest larger than the size of Puerto Rico, lost 45 square miles of forest cover, the worst deforestation among all protected lands in the Brazilian Amazon. Brazilian satellites confirm much of that cleared land was set ablaze on August 10.


6-By the time I arrived to Novo Progresso in early September, Brazil’s independent Public Ministry had announced a federal investigation into a possible criminal conspiracy to burn fires, and rural landowners and ranchers were denying the Day of Fire ever happened. Novo Progresso’s civil police had already concluded it was a mere coincidence in timing.

Maicon acorda às 6h30min, vai ao banheiro, escova os dentes com Close up, se arruma, toma café e sai para o trabalho. Ao chegar, cumprimenta seus amigos, vai para sua sala, liga seu notebook e verifica se mouse está funcionando. Logo em seguida, conecta-se à web e olha sua caixa de e-mail. Então, dá início ao expediente. Depois de um tempo, é hora do almoço e decide variar o cardápio: hoje não vai ao restaurante de self-service. Assim, se dirige a um pit dog perto de seu escritório. É um trailer de fast food que serve sanduíches; para acompanhar, pede uma Pepsi light. Terminada a refeição, Maicon decide ouvir um pouco de música que ele salvou em um pen drive. Então, vai até o carro – uma SUV 2020, recém adquirida -, para uma sessão do melhor rock n’ roll. Logo percebe que está na hora de voltar ao trabalho. No caminho, passa por um outdoor e nota que uma loja de um dos shoppings da cidade está anunciando jeans a um preço muito bom. Decide ligar para a esposa, Jenifer, e contar a novidade. Ela diz que já havia visto e achado tudo muito fashion, mas muito caro.  Um pouco depois, ele chega ao serviço para a segunda parte do expediente. Ele trabalha com marketing. Por volta das 4h30min, já é hora do coffee break. Maicon vai ao Barranco’s bar, uma lanchonete, e pede um hot dog com muito ketchup. O rapaz encontra um amigo tomando Red Bull, mas decide não a fazer o mesmo, pois ficaria muito agitado. Terminado o dia de serviço, volta para casa, encontra sua esposa preparando o jantar, a cumprimenta e vai tomar banho. Fica irritado, pois o shampoo mal deu para lavar o cabelo. Depois, assistem o Big Brother na TV e seu filho mais novo pede para jogar videogame em seu Playstation, mas Maicon diz que já está tarde para jogar. Jenifer muda de canal e eles percebem que está passando um show ao vivo com os hits da sua banda gospel favorita. Mas, infelizmente, já é hora de ir dormir porque no dia seguinte a jornada recomeça.

Japanese Emperor

    A Japanese emperor has abdicated for the first time in more than 200 years. Emperor Akihito stepped down from the Chrysanthemum Throne on April 30 after 30 years of being the Japanese monarch. He made way for his son Crown Prince Naruhito to become the new emperor. Akihito decided to step down because of his health. At the age of 85, he has been visibly slowing down for the past few years. He has also had a couple of health scares. He believes his son is now better able to carry out the duties of emperor. Emperor Akihito will be remembered for using a personal touch to bring his people together after many national disasters. He continually visited people after earthquakes, tsunami and other tragedies.

    The new Emperor Naruhito became the 126th emperor to ascend the throne of the world's oldest monarchy. Naruhito, 59, spent two years studying at Oxford University. His wife, the new Empress Masako, studied at Harvard University and worked as a diplomat. A traditional ceremony took place as part of the historic handover. In the ceremony, Naruhito received a sacred sword, a jewel and official seals that date back thousands of years. The ceremony took place in the middle of a ten-day Japanese holiday. The traditional Golden Week holiday was extended to allow people to celebrate the new emperor. Millions of Japanese were glued to their TVs and smartphones watching the historic event.
