We still won the season series 2-1. Bring on the Rockets! I can't wait for CP to pull his hamstring again. Then we get to watch Beverly expose Austin for the true G Leaguer that he is.

You do remember those two wins in October were against a much different team than you faced last night and will face in the playoffs?....No more Carmelo..Chris not suspended and Harden available. We have a couple of G leaguers in Austin and Daniel House Jr that I am glad to have since they add depth to our team as well as Faried. They had as many points as your 6th man candidates of Williams and Harrell. Again I say even with CP3 missing from our lineup now we could still beat you guys...I like the signing of Faried as helps to offset the energy and hustle from Harrell. Beverley has to stay healthy as well. He really hasn't been the model for durability in recent years either....where was he last night?  |

Nice to see you back these past few days, @rhy1244 . Why the long absences this season, if you don't mind me asking? my wife and I had our first kid. Now we have a little four month old. Congrats. Amazing, when I first remembered reading @rhy1244 , he was @rhy1244 , the college student. Then he went to being @rhy1244 the fiance, @rhy1244 the husband, @rhy1244 the home owner, and now @rhy1244 the parent. He has also always been, @rhy1244, the multiple time fantasy champion. |

Yeah congrats!!! Having children really does change a person. here you have this "little person" so dependent on you now. You look at life so differently after having kids......seems like it was yesterday when I first had mine and this year I have two graduating from high school and the last one will start high school in September. |

You don't have to answer if this is too nosy. But how do you have two kids graduating in the same year? Did one graduate early? Are they twins? Are they from different mothers? Kevin Harlan mentioned this during the 2014 Playoffs. I liked this pic. I guess this is how you feel below, this year and 4 years from now.  |

 No problem at all. We held my son back when he was in kindergarten because of a learning disability. He was diagnosed with medullablastoma which is form of brain cancer at the age of 2 and the radiation along with the chemotherapy not only killed "bad cells" but "good cells" as well in the brain which has affected his cognitive skills and memory and the ability to learn. I had mentioned this on the previous Clippertalk site so you aren't too nosey. I just have one baby momma that I have been married to for 22 years......... |

Rockets are a better team than the Clippers right now.......but I could care less, we are gonna be in the playoffs this season when nobody expected us to, we are stacked with a ton of great assets, good young players, draft picks and cap space going forward and newsflash nobody is beating the Warriors this season AGAIN, including the Rockets.

So after the cancer treatment, he eventually was able to learn at a similar rate to his peers? |

No not at all.....he's had to take mostly special education classes....most of his peers have disorders like Autism...my son is considered on the level of a high performer but it is nowhere near the ability of a "general education" student. A lot of his classes in high school were geared more to 'life skills" classes which help him to "learn enough" to be independent as much as possible in this thing called "life". They learn skills to take care of themselves and sometimes the skills were things that you and I take for granted. |

Wholeheartedly agree with everything you said except for the Warriors part. They are vulnerable right now and I believe the acquisition of Cousins is going to "muck" up things..just look at their record since he started playing....We also have the pieces in place beat them this year as we did last year. Great thing about the playoffs is the optimism...... You guys are playing with house money and no expectations so I get that...I sure hope for your case you get some "big fish" next year otherwise it will be a waste with all those assets... |

A lot of his classes in high school were geared more to 'life skills" classes which help him to "learn enough" to be independent as much as possible in this thing called "life". They learn skills to take care of themselves and sometimes the skills were things that you and I take for granted. I'm going to ramble about a cause dear to my heart which is related to this topic. Feel free to ignore it as I am going to be long-winded, and it's not really directed at you and son's experience though it's on that theme. My daughter attends one of the only full-inclusion public Charter schools in the nation (it's a model for this kind of school, and teachers from around the nation come and tour to see how it's done). Effectively what this means is students of all abilities; special needs, typical learners, and honors learners; are all learning in the same classroom from the same head teacher. And each day of lessons has the same "theme" for all students in that class. However, the actual work each student is asked to do is geared towards their abilities. And then you have teacher's assistants assigned to the class, based mostly on the number of special needs students in the class. And all the teachers and assistants are given additional training on managing both special needs and a classroom which combines special needs with typical and honors learners, along with some systematic things at the school (like teacher teams, procedures for additional breaks for some students, etc.). In most schools, the special needs students are segregated with other special needs students, the typical learners are segregated with other typical learners, and the honors students segregated with other honors students. With my daughter's school (and she is a typical learner), they're not just in the same classroom but interacting actively with each other from Kindergarten onward. Honors students might help typical learners with a task. Typical learners might help a special needs student with a task. And because special needs students are not "all the same" they each have their areas where they excel and other areas where they need more help, and they can help others in areas where they do better. And students are moved every few weeks to different tables with a different set of kids, so that no physical segregations happen in the classroom unless it's a particular project which calls for it (and then it's just brief for that task). Studies show (and I've seen it work in practice) that helping others with things you're good it, helps your own learning and confidence as well. And of course, it means more help is spread around, which is good for the recipient of that help too. And because teacher assistants would usually be assigned just to special needs students but have some of that time go to waste as their assigned student(s) are focused on a task which does not need their immediate help, that time of the teachers assistant can be spread across other students as well. With that much help available, everyone's needs are attended to more than you'd find in a more typical classroom setting. And the students don't really think of special needs as meaningfully "different" at this school. Everyone is getting slightly different work in the classroom, and particularly at younger ages they don't really differentiate between how hard or easy someone else's work might be - it's just everyone has slightly different work, and it's all the same theme (like "Plants" or "Ocean Life" or whatever). I initially was worried high achieving learners might be "held back" to the lowest common denominator level of work in the classroom, but that's not the case at all. The honors students are well challenged - everyone is well challenged. And the special needs students are given an opportunity to rise to the occasion, rather than be pigeonholed as one thing their whole school life, for all types of work. Plus there is no real stigma to having special needs. My daughter has grown up with a friend who is completely paralyzed in a wheelchair, and talks with a computer tablet she points a laser pointer at. She has autistic friends, friends with cerebral palsy, etc.. And they're just "normal friends" and not "special friends". Same birthday parties, same socialization issues, same entertainment interests, etc.. I am not saying this system is perfect. But I am saying it sure seems a heck of a lot better than a lot of other "ordinary" public schools out there. Right now it's just Pre-K through Middle School, and it works well. They're planning to build a high school next, and I think the real challenges will hit there. But if any group of educators can overcome those challenges it's these guys. They've done a great job of building a system that treats all students with respect. I've seen this model work really well, and I see it's slowly spreading (there are now three of these types of schools out here). |

Thanks for posting.
You posted about this last year too, but I think you gave more details this time about how the class interactions are.

How does it work in Middle School, when there's more in depth about subjects such as English (reading), math (Algebra / Geometry), science, history?
