May 7 SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION a dream?

Sue Hodge and Liz Loadwick from Beacon education join me.

What is special needs education?

Special educational needs — What does it mean?

The term 'special educational needs' has a legal definition. Children with special educational needs all have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn or access education than most children of the same age. These children may need extra or different help from that given to other children of the same age.

So where are we in the UAE?

Do we care?

YES and no.

Some schools are telling the clients to go someplace else.

Some schools are simply jacking up fees.

Some schools have it right.

Beacon Education seems to be one of those education providers that is at the least talking a good story.

And as Sue Hodge said if you want to find out more about what you can do or how to find support call her and she will set you on the track.

But what about teaching assistants in any class shouldn't they be mandatory?

A class of 24 kids and one teacher?

Sure there is a cost but are the children not worth it?

Some say a good teacher can handle the crowd... why are we reducing teachers to crowd control when we could make their job more effective.

The job?

Chief inspiration officers.

May 6--- RTA/POLICE/Responsibility?

Who exactly is responsible for road safety?

You?

The RTA?

Dubai Police?

The general feeling OF CALLERS LAST NIGHT WAS:

1. people in Dubai simply do not care enough
2. maybe we could benefit form a driving test before we are given a permit in Dubai if we come from another country! Any Country.
3. ENFORCE THE LAW FAIRLY AND EQUALLY
4. are expected to pay we need to be seeing the results of the service and the payment
5. ASK users of the system for suggestions
6. traffic is an issue for the entire UAE there needs to be coordination
7. The RTA and the Police need to work together and STOP pointing fingers
8. any lessons to be learned from other places?
9. maybe, just maybe it isn't all that bad.

Give the podcast a listen.

May2----responsibility do we have any

OK we, our governments,our business, you and I go all over the world and do things.

How long are we responsible for our actions?

If things go wrong are we responsible?

May 1 GLOBALISM

Hugo Charvez in Venezuela is opting out of the IMF and World Bank!

WOW.

Is this an issue?

A left leaning government with oil money saying that GW Bush can "Bite Me" seems to be the start of a new global power play.

Or is it just words?
