Epigenetics For Beginners

Epigenetics, as a simplified definition, is the study of biological mechanisms that will switch genes on and off. What does that mean? Well, if you are new to this whole thing, we first need a quick crash course in biochemistry and genetics before learning exactly what is epigenetics:

  • Cells are fundamental working units of every human being. All the instructions required to direct their activities are contained within the chemical deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA.
  • DNA from humans is made up of approximately 3 billion nucleotide bases. There are four fundamental types of bases that comprise DNA – adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, commonly abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, respectively.
  • The sequence, or the order, of the bases is what determines our life instructions.  Interestingly enough, our DNA sequence is mostly similar to that of a chimpanzee. Only a fraction of distinctively different sequences makes us human.
  • Within the 3 billion bases, there are about 20,000 genes. Genes are specific sequences of bases that provide instructions on how to make important proteins – complex molecules that trigger various biological actions to carry out life functions.

This article explains the effects of experience and how life can alter genes for better or worse. Schools need to be aware of this concept and gain an understanding of the parents background and maybe even the grandparents. Trained social workers should perform extensive interviews to help reveal information that could be contributing to a students disrespectful, irresponsible, and non-complaint behaviors. 

 

 

Pay Attention To The Victims Of Bullying

Pay Attention To The Victims Of Bullying

I want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy your time with friends and family. As a teacher you have received emails from me that are informational as well as product oriented. I hope you enjoyed what you read and thanks for your patience, and I hope you didn’t feel overwhelmed and just hit delete because you didn’t have the time to read it.

Starting on Monday November 20th and continuing thru Wednesday November 29, 2018 I am offering the FREE Self Study Course, Strengthening The Victims of Bullying.

This course was designed to provide teachers with the strategies and techniques necessary to help create a positive learning climate as well as help the victims of bullying develop more confidence and resiliency. This course is a $24.99 value and is well worth the price.

With your purchase of  Anti Bullying 101 for just $5.99 you will receive the Strengthening The Victim self study as part of the package.

 

I am so concerned about the victims of bullying that I believe we need to do something to help them develop the necessary skills that will help them become confident and productive adults. Too often because of past trauma these students tend to flounder and ultimately can fear everyone and everything.

The other more concerning issue is the anger and bitterness that can build and last for a lifetime. This anger can affect employment, relationships, and families. Not to mention if the rage grows strong enough they could be driven to commit some horrible acts, inflicting pain upon themselves and others.

So for $5.99 you get over $30 worth of products and in doing so you are taking the steps to help our students and children and are helping to keep our schools and communities a safer place.

Paula Jones, Reconsidered

Paula Jones, Reconsidered

“The Clinton Affair,” A&E’s six-part mini-series on the scandals of Bill Clinton’s presidency, lacks a point of view. It is straightforward in style and evenhanded in tone. Strangely, this recommends it.

The events it covers have been so sensationalized and so politicized for so long that seeing them presented neutrally and in roughly chronological order is revelatory, particularly regarding the stories of three women: Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick.
