 Image by Charles Davis from Pixabay Just 16% of us floss daily. Why don’t we? It takes too much time, it’s painful or just plain gross. If that’s not bad enough, people pry debris from their teeth using all kinds of things. The Waterpik company did a study to learn about the unusual items that people use instead of floss. 61% have used their fingernails to remove food. Many others have used folded paper or cards, safety pins, knives, forks and strands of hair. Oh yes, most of the people confessed they knew better and reported that they hurt themselves when they went digging for dental debris, but they did it anyway. We know that mouth bacteria is related to some big-ticket health problems like heart disease. Where do you want to spend your time - comfortably flossing your teeth in your own bathroom or a few weeks in cardiac intensive care? Totally your call.

Image by Suzi Wilson from Pixabay It still happens to this very day. I tell parents to request testing in writing to determine if special education support is needed. Even in writing, these school districts brazenly violate federal law and deny parents their requests. Federal law does not state that parents have to explain their reasons. It’s my experience that parents are always questioned. Once the written request is received, parents should be presented with an assessment plan no later than fifteen days. Then, the timeline of ninety days begins. At or before ninety days, a meeting is to be held to share the results. Nowhere in the law does it say that a Student Study Team meeting or other intervention is to take place. Oh sure, district personnel will tell you that it’s their policy to do this and that, but nothing supersedes federal law. Not state law, county law, local law or any policy. Be informed about your child’s educational rights. Claudia Join me on Facebook at Dr. Claudia McCulloch. At DrClaudia.net, click on the "Ask Me" button and send me a question.
