Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccines - National Cancer Institute Researchers at NCI and elsewhere are studying how high-risk HPV types cause precancerous changes in normal cells and how these changes can be prevented or managed most efficiently. Most of this research has focused on cervical cells in women, but researchers are now investigating these questions in other tissues in which HPV may cause cancer, such as the oropharynx and anus. NCI is conducting a community-based clinical trial of Cervarix in Costa Rica, where cervical cancer rates are high. This study is designed to obtain information about the vaccine's longer-term safety, the extent and duration of protection, the immune mechanisms of protection, and the natural history of infection with HPV types other than the types included in the vaccine. NCI is also collaborating with other researchers on second-generation preventive vaccines and on therapeutic HPV vaccines, which would prevent the development of cancer among women previously infected with HPV.
Corporal Punishment should be reintroduced. In a survey completed by the Times Educational supplement (1), 6000 teachers were questioned. One in five believed that class room behaviour had deteriorated since the abolition of corporal punishment and they believed the education system would improve with the re-introduction of corporal punishment.

long term negative affects Children in a school that uses corporal punishment performed significantly worse in tasks involving "executive functioning" -- psychological processes such as planning, abstract thinking, and delaying gratification -- than those in a school relying on milder disciplinary measures such as time-outs, according to a new study involving two private schools in a West African country. The findings, published by the journal Social Development, suggest that a harshly punitive environment may have long-term detrimental effects on children's verbal intelligence and their executive-functioning ability. As a result, children exposed to a harshly punitive environment may be at risk for behavioral problems related to deficits in executive-functioning, the study indicates. The study -- by Prof. "This study demonstrates that corporal punishment does not teach children how to behave or improve their learning," Prof. There are many further questions that remain unanswered.
Two-Way Immersion Home Page CAL is working to expand our offerings and information related to Bilingual and Dual Language Education, including Two-Way Immersion. Watch our website for updates. In dual language education programs, students are taught literacy and academic content in English and a partner language. The goals of dual language are for students to develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in both program languages, to demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and to develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse cultures. Two-way immersion (TWI) is a distinctive form of dual language education in which balanced numbers of native English speakers and native speakers of the partner language are integrated for instruction so that both groups of students serve in the role of language model and language learner at different times.

Pro-Spanking Studies May Have Global Effect Two recent analyses – one psychological, the other legal – may debunk lenient modern parenting the way the Climategate e-mail scandal has short circuited global warming alarmism. A study entailing 2,600 interviews pertaining to corporal punishment, including the questioning of 179 teenagers about getting spanked and smacked by their parents, was conducted by Marjorie Gunnoe, professor of psychology at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Gunnoe’s findings, announced this week: “The claims made for not spanking children fail to hold up. Those who were physically disciplined performed better than those who weren’t in a whole series of categories, including school grades, an optimistic outlook on life, the willingness to perform volunteer work, and the ambition to attend college, Gunnoe found. A key focus of the work of Jason M. Since the spanking ban, child abuse rates in Sweden have exploded over 500 percent, according to police reports. Nor is she alone in her conclusions.
8 Reasons to Spank Your Kids « MadameNoire MadameNoire pro Editor’s Note: Another writer of ours recently wrote about how spanking is not necessarily the right way to discipline a child. LaShaun Williams has a different take on that… Spanking has become a highly debated form of discipline in recent times, with some arguing swats on the bottom are crimes. A generation ago, most kids felt the sting of a belt. Now, it’s time out. Timid, approval-seeking kids are usually good with a time-out. If you’re not spanking and you have a child who is testing you time and time again, you may want to consider picking out a switch before he (or she) ends up on Beyond Scared Straight.

The benefits of dual-immersion education | Imagine This! Several weeks ago, Carter wrote a great post on dual-immersion programs, specifically Chinese immersion programs in Utah. That post, combined with another interesting article on research in bilingual education, prompted me to learn some more about dual-immersion programs in the United States, and I found some interesting things. As I read more about bilingual education, I realized that the terminology surrounding bilingual education and dual-immersion programs isn’t exactly well-defined. I learned that the terms dual language, dual-immersion, or two-way immersion have all been used for the same programs. In many of these schools, the goal is to help students become bilingual from an early age. Among Bialystok’s findings over the years are the facts that bilingual and monolingual children process language in different ways. We asked all the children if a certain illogical sentence was grammatically correct: “Apples grow on noses.”
COMMENTARY: HPV Vaccine: Risks versus benefits - Echoes-Sentinel Opinion Columns - Mobile Adv 1 image The writer, a resident of Millington, is co-founder of the New Jersey Alliance for Informed Choice in Vaccination (NJAICV) and the New Jersey Coalition for Vaccination Choice (NJCVC). She has been a vaccination choice advocate for 17 years and is the mother of two teenage boys. By Sue Collins | As we head into the final weeks of summer, thoughts turn to back to school doctor’s visits and physicals. If you are the parent of a pre-teen/teen girl or boy, the HPV vaccine, the cervical cancer vaccine, will most likely be on the agenda. New Jersey does mandate more vaccinations than any other state in the country, but when it comes to the HPV vaccine, parents still do have a choice and it is imperative that they understand the potential risks before their child visits the doctor. The HPV vaccine, Gardasil and now Cervarix, has been around since 2006 and is riddled with controversy.
Is Corporal Punishment an Effective Means of Discipline? WASHINGTON — Corporal punishment remains a widely used discipline technique in most American families, but it has also been a subject of controversy within the child development and psychological communities. In a large-scale meta-analysis of 88 studies, psychologist Elizabeth Thompson Gershoff, PhD, of the National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University, looked at both positive and negative behaviors in children that were associated with corporal punishment. Her research and commentaries on her work are published in the July issue of Psychological Bulletin, published by the American Psychological Association. Gershoff found "strong associations" between corporal punishment and all eleven child behaviors and experiences. Ten of the associations were negative such as with increased child aggression and antisocial behavior. The single desirable association was between corporal punishment and increased immediate compliance on the part of the child.
Pro / Con: Spanking When your 3-year-old is throwing a tantrum in the middle of the supermarket or has poured his milk all over the floor, the urge to spank may be overwhelming. If you've ever given in to that urge, you're not alone — research shows that up to 90% of parents spank their children, at least occasionally. But does it work? And more importantly, is it harmful to kids? Once considered a fairly standard parenting practice, spanking is now opposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Assn. (The pediatricians' statement against the practice includes advice on what parents should do if they strike a child in the heat of the moment: apologize and explain why the spanking occurred.) Corporal punishment in the home has been banned in 31 countries, including Spain, Israel, Kenya and Costa Rica. Those in favor of spanking say it is an effective method of discipline and hasn't been shown to damage children in the long run. Read on for two views.
Developer of HPV Vaccines Blasts the Vaccines for Dangers, False Claims Elizabeth RenterNatural Society September 1, 2013 The first-hand knowledge of one scientist, responsible for helping to develop two vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV), including Gardasil, interestingly led her to vocally question the vaccines’ safety and effectiveness before backtracking and denying she ever questioned them. She says that the vaccines are just as dangerous, if not more so, than the disease they are meant to prevent, all while thousands of children as young as 9 are being given the vaccine, sometimes without parental consent. Dr. Diane Harper was a key developer of the Gardasil HPV vaccine. Beginning in 2009 she voiced several concerns about the vaccine and its counterpart Cervarix, saying they caused more harm than good. Unfortunately, you won’t hear any more of these soundbites and quotes from Dr. What’s been said cannot be unsaid and Dr. This article was posted: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 5:02 am Print this page.
