Take Calcasieu Parish for example. We start off with about a thousand full time deputies. Then there is the Lake Charles City Police of about three or four hundred. Then there is the Lake Charles City Marshal police force of about a hundred. Then there is the Louisiana State Police of thousands. Then there is the United States Marshal police force. Then there is the Port of Lake Charles police force, and the Sowela Tech police force, and the McNeese State University Police force. Also, now we have the Sabine River Authority police force. Am I missing any? Oh, yes! There's even the Railroad Police, even in Lake Charles, with cop uniforms, badges and guns. Then there is the Federal Bureau of Investigation police, not to mention the I.N.S. Border Patrol police force and the U.S. Customs Service police force which perform run-of-the-mill police operations traditionally handled only by local state police forces. Our Fathers never intended for the Federal Government to conduct an intrastate-only Criminal Justice System; but that is what is happening right now, with the United States Attorney's offices handling what has traditionally been handled only by local state prosecutors and by local state courts. What's more is that a contingent from each of most of the above-named police forces has gotten together and formed even another giant police force that they call a "Task Force" and they are literally terrorizing the State of Louisiana. In making what is a simple arrest of a non-violent defendant, on a simple drug charge, they arrive en masse and all pull out guns and aim them at even women and children who are not even criminal suspects. Further, they depend on the United States Attorneys' offices to prosecute the alleged cases that they "make". Since the state District Judges refuse to allow some of these police forces and/or their leader and/or leaders to "terrorize" certain portions of Calcasieu Parish, such as North Lake Charles, and refuse to allow the police to dictate whether bond for accused defendants will even be allowed, and, if so, how much these bonds should be set at, these police forces and/or their leader and/or leaders have elected to take their cases not to the local District Attorneys for prosecution, but to take them to the United States attorneys whose offices are getting bigger and bigger and bigger. The traditional Louisiana Criminal Justice System is changing and changing fast. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.
My homeschooled son has dysgraphia. An iPod allows him to easily type answers to essay questions. Would this type of accommodation be allowed in your classroom? Why or why not?
Does anyone on this site teach in Early Childhood K-2 Would like to message with you. These potential teachers are so creative and give hope to the future of education if they are given the opportunity.
Does anyone know where I can find some great tutorials on Blackboard? I'm teaching my first online class and having trouble figuring out where some of the basic things are and how to organize modules with assignments, tie assignments to gradebook, etc.
I teach a developmental class that focuses on study skills. However, it is hard to motivate the students on this subject matter. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get students engaged? Also, I will be getting observed so I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for a lesson?
Thanks!
I need creative ways to teach efficacy and equality in education. My students are future teachers and are writing their portfolios. They do very well until they begin to write about efficacy in teaching.
Do you have suggestions?

Hello- Does anyone out there have a lesson plan they could share for a College English Literature Course? I'm new to teaching and just finshed my masters but am looking for examples of good plans. Appreciate any assistance I might be able to receive.
Sincerely
Tom
