Riguardante l'articolo di Guillermo del Kathy: Discussione di storia
Era molto triste per me leggere l'articolo del Guillermo (ha attaccato al fondo del mio articolo). Di tutti i giorni leggiamo che gli scienziati abusando tuttavia degli animali per gli esperimenti. Sono insegnante di Biologia Generale e la Scienza Fisica e non seziono degli animali nella mia classe. Sempre più educatori e gli studenti scoprono una maniera più gentile per insegnare e studiare la scienza compiendo le alternative di non-animale nelle aule di oggi.
Questi giorni abbiamo la protezione legale per gli studenti: Molti studenti da K-12 hanno la destra legale per rifiutare di sezionare un animale di una volta-vive. Lo studente leggi scelte esistono in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, e Virginia, e gli stati di altro considerano la legislazione simile.
Visitare www.animalearn.org/lawsandlegislation.php per le informazioni recentissime sullo studente conti scelti. Inoltre, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, e Nuovo Messico offrono delle linee di condotta informali. Gli studenti individuali hanno spinto per lo sviluppo di questo studente queste leggi scelte. Gli studenti giocano un ruolo importante nella loro educazione, e le loro scelte possono fare una differenza significativa per gli animali.
Migliorare l'Educazione di Scienza Naturale. In almeno 30 studi di ricerca ha pubblicato nei diari scientifici che ha paragonato imparando i livelli di studenti usando delle alternative alla dissezione e gli studenti sezionando degli animali, le alternative di dissezione erano trovati per essere più educativamente efficace. Sopra 50 percento ha mostrato i più alti livelli di cultura per gli studenti usando le alternative, mentre il resto degli studi ha mostrato i livelli di cultura simili. Questo è delle informazioni importante per gli educatori, gli amministratori, ed i membri di asse scolastici perché i miglioramenti nell'educazione sono delle ragioni forti di adottare le nuove linee di condotta.
Sperare che sono d'accordo con i miei punti di vista.
Sinceramente,

Take a compassionate stance for animals used in Education!
Regarding Kathy's Guillermo article:
Story Discussion
Was very sad for me to read Guillermo's article (attached at the bottom of my article).
Everyday we are reading that scientists still abusing animals for experiments. I'm a teacher of General Biology and Physical Science and I don't dissect animals in my class. More and more educators and students are discovering a kinder way to
teach and study science by implementing non-animal alternatives in
today’s classrooms.
This days we have legal protection for the students:
Many students from K-12 have the legal right to refuse to dissect a once-living animal.
Student choice laws exist in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia, and other states are considering
similar legislation. Visit www.animalearn.org/lawsandlegislation.php for the latest information on student choice bills. Additionally, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,and New Mexico offer informal policies. Individual students have pushed for the development of these student choice laws. Students play an important role in their education, and their choices can make a significant difference for animals.
Improve Life Science Education.
In at least 30 research studies published in scientific journals
that compared learning levels of students using alternatives to
dissection and students dissecting animals, dissection alternatives
were found to be more educationally effective. Over 50 percent
showed higher learning levels for students using the alternatives,
while the remainder of the studies showed similar learning levels.
This is important information for educators, administrators, and
school board members because improvements in education are
strong reasons to adopt new policies.
Hope all of you agree with my points of view.
Sincerely,

Kathy Guillermo / Stop abusing chimpanzees.Posted: Friday, December 4, 2009 / Press of Atlantic City.
According to a recent study published in the journal Nature, scientists have discovered that a gene called FOXP2, which is believed to be responsible for the evolution of speech in humans, behaves differently in humans than it does in chimpanzees, our closest living relatives. The gene produces a protein in humans that differs by just two amino acids from chimpanzees' FOXP2 protein. Think about it - if not for those two amino acids, chimpanzees might be able to talk. If they could speak, what would they say?
Actually, we already know what they would say, thanks to the work of people such as Roger Fouts, a professor at Central Washington University who is famous for teaching chimpanzees American Sign Language.
Fouts' most famous pupil is Washoe, who was the first nonhuman animal to learn ASL and who, in turn, taught it to her adopted son, Loulis. Washoe spontaneously combined words to describe her experiences and desires, using expressions such as "you me hide" and "listen dog." She also invented names for her possessions, referring to her doll, for instance, as "Baby Mine." She was even known to fib and tell jokes.
Perhaps Fouts' second most famous pupil is Booee, a chimpanzee who was taught ASL while he was "on loan" to Fouts. More than a decade later - after Booee had been reclaimed and sent to a laboratory where he was subjected to hepatitis experiments - the TV show "20/20" approached Fouts about reuniting with Booee on camera.
Although worried by the prospect of upsetting Booee, Fouts agreed in the hope that the reunion, which would be watched by millions of people, could potentially help Booee and other chimpanzees in laboratories.
I will never forget the footage of Roger entering the laboratory and signing, "Hi, Booee. You remember?"
Booee, who had been sitting despondently in his small cage a moment earlier, jumped up and down in excitement, signing his name, "Booee, Booee, Booee," over and over again. "Yes, you Booee," Roger signed back. Remembering that Fouts always carried treats, Booee asked for them, even using an old nickname that he had invented for Roger - a flick of his ear with his finger. He and Fouts spent the next several minutes playing games of "chase" and "tickle" like they used to do all those years ago.
As Fouts had hoped, viewers were touched by the joyful reunion, and they were heartbroken when they watched Booee move dejectedly to the back of his cage when the time came to say goodbye. Because of the subsequent outcry, Booee was sent to a sanctuary months later, where he still lives.
Unfortunately, more than 1,000 other chimpanzees remain caged, lonely and miserable in laboratories, despite overwhelming evidence that they are highly intelligent, sensitive animals.
They are injected with drugs, infected with diseases that they would never normally contract and subjected to traumatic psychological experiments. When they're not strapped to a table, they languish in cages - often in windowless rooms - that bear no resemblance to their natural forest and jungle homes. Their spirits are broken from years of needles, scalpels, toxins, pain, solitude, fear and the overwhelming nothingness of waking up, day after day, in a cold metal box.
The United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, New Zealand and the Netherlands have prohibited the use of great apes for invasive research and testing. The United States is the only country in the world that continues large-scale use of chimpanzees in experiments.
That may change if The Great Ape Protection Act - a bill that would phase out the use of chimpanzees in invasive research and retire federally owned chimpanzees to sanctuaries - ever becomes law.
If chimpanzees could talk, they would almost certainly say, "Let me out," as one of Booee's fellow inmates signed. Yes, it's time to let them out. They are not test tubes with fur. They have thoughts, feelings and desires. It's time to let them be chimpanzees.

Abbiamo bisogno dei genitori coinvolti nella scuola dei bambini.
Dopo che molti anni di sforzo intenso di aumentare l'implicazione di genitore nelle scuole, i risultati iniziano a apparire nella ricerca educativa. Le notizie è buone per le scuole dove l'implicazione di genitore è alta, ed i benefici per i bambini incoraggiano. Quando i genitori sono coinvolti nelle scuole dei bambini e nell'educazione, i bambini hanno di più alti gradi ed i risultati del test standardizzati, ha migliorato il comportamento alla casa e scuola, e le abilità e l'adattamento migliori sociali alla scuola.
Amerei invitare tutti i genitori a assistere su martedì novembre 24 a 7:00pm alla notte di conferenze di genitore. Guardo davanti per parlare con ogni solo un.
Sinceramente,

We need parents involved in children's schools.
Parent Conferences Coming soon !!
(Displays 11/12/2009)
Dear Parents:
After many years of intense effort to increase parent involvement in schools, the results are beginning to appear in the educational research. The news is good for schools where parent involvement is high, and the benefits for children are encouraging. When parents are involved in children’s schools and education, children have higher grades and standardized test scores, improved behavior at home and school, and better social skills and adaptation to school.
I would like to invite all parents to assist on Tuesday November 24th at 7:00pm to parent conferences night. I look forward to talk with every single one.
Sincerely,
Ms. M. Florence Oliverio M.S.
