[edit] Age of consent

Hi, thanks for your edit! The information and link you added in support is exactly the kind of thing this article needs. I did clean up your edit a wee bit..

[edit] Federal Prisons

Isn't the national government of the United Kingdom compared to the government of Scotland analogous to the federal government of the United States vs. the governments of the individual states? I would suggest that you do, then, live in a country with a federal government, of sorts. Denvoran 22:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Foster Care

The Rfc is a good plan...thanks. Let's see what develops and that should resolve the matter with some consensus. DPeterson^talk 20:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Special education

I reverted the introduction to special education. Your introduction doesn't talk about inclusion. this one does...without special education, inclusion would not be possible. I agree with the previous editor. I don't like the way you say that this "may be" emotional, physical, circumstantial or intellectual and may require special teaching approaches, equipment or care within or outwith a regular classroom or in a special school setting. Special education is for students with sinular needs or disabilities.....i still think that it's much clearer before. What is your problem?! Why do you keep reverting my edits? I am fully involved. Look at all of my edits that I've done! How can you say I'm not fully involved? My edits does not involve in America....it is completely neutral. Clearly, you are the only being bothered by it. No one has said anything about it. Can't we get an administrator to help us resolve this issue? you don't agree with me...and I don't agree with you....Special education is inclusion...that's why I merged inclusion to special education. I did discussed it on the talk page.....that I was going to merge it. Well it's not my fault that people don't like to discuss things with me. I put that up like weeks ago...and did anyone respond to me? NO. I don't have all day waiting for their responses....how do i get them to respond to me faster? (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

Thanks for your help in trying to balance the content of the special education article. I know it is especially frustrating at times, but I encourage you to tone down your remarks towards the other editor. I think completely changing the opening paragraph has had a positive effect on the discussion and hopefully the process will be easier (at least for the time being). Nposs 20:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I've posted a request for help on the Wikiproject Education page. Maybe we can pick up a few experts to help out. By the way, having your username appear as a url might be a violation of WP:USER. Not sure - but you might want to take a look at it. Nposs 04:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SCOWNB Participants merger with WP:SCO

As I hope you may have seen I am attempting to tidy up WP:SCOWNB by removing old notices and the duplication that has emerged since the creation of WP:SCO. One of the latter issues is that there are lists of active Wikipedians on both locations which overlap to a significant degree. As WP:SCOWNB is ideally a place for announcements I am in process of merging the lists at WP:SCO and intend to remove the one at WP:SCOWNB when this is complete. However there are a fair number of Users not on both lists. If you do not wish to have you current WP:SCOWNB entry re-appear at WP:SCO please either let me know or edit the latter as appropriate. Thanks for your patience, and continuing support of matters relating to WikiProject Scotland. Ben MacDui (Talk) 18:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special Education abuse

Hi brideshead. I'm not sure if I have specifically pointed this out to you previous but the editor you are having constant battles with on special education and inclusive (______) is Jessica Liao. Jessica = 2 IP account, RainingmySoul, Oahc, etc. It's really tough to hold her back from making lots of edits even if you point out the clear POV she has. I don't know what action you can take, if she continues usually she'll get engaged in a 3RR case or she will post vandalism -- anyway keep an eye out there for new accounts that post exactly like the users your already dealing with -- it means she's probably created another account. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MrMacMan (talk • contribs) 16:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC).

The above comment was *surprisingly* vandalized, aha. I am MrMacMan found on the links. MrMacMan ^Talk 23:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anon ed on your talk page

Hi - if what you are saying about the anon editor here is correct (and I don't have reason to doubt you), I can certainly understand your annoyance.[2] It should not be tolerated. But, if you don't mind, I'd like to suggest you express it differently. I do not mind if you remove this message. Kind regards and happy editing. :) --Merbabu 11:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry - I've been there, done that too. No doubt I will again one day. yes, wikipedia is permanent, but a quick and open modification of remarks goes a long way in my opinion. :) --Merbabu 11:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special schools do not provide special education.

Special schools do not provide special education. How can it provide special education if it doesn't have regular classrooms? Special education is to help the special needs student function in mainstream classes. In special schools, there are no mainstream classes. So how is special education provided? Someone should provide a reference stating that special education is provided in special schools. (209.177.21.6 - talk)

We have discussed this before. I am not going to keep having the same weak dialogue. That is your definition of special edcuation. You have no sources for it and it is not a view represented in the special needs community, in which i work. Special education is the provision of an education adapted to the additional needs of the individual in any setting. it has nothing to do with contrasting education with 'normal' classes. --Brideshead 10:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

So then provide a reference!! You keep saying you'll right...then prove it...So why didn't you just say that before instead of arguing with me? It would have been better if you clarified your point. (69.117.20.128 - talk)

[edit] Special education

As you said earlier, special education is the whole picture and not the tiny subset. In that case, special schools don't provide the whole picture of special education. (Jessica - talk)

[edit] I am so confused!

"However, even the narrower usage of the term may refer to a range of school type such as a school with an innovative and flexible cirriculum aimed at bright, self-motivated students; a school for students with behavioral problems; or a school with special remedial programs.^[1] "

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.117.20.128 (talk) 01:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

This section is in alternative school. However, it has a reference. So should we just leave it even though on alternative education, it says that magnet schools are part of school choice?

This part confused me..how come this says that special schools and magnet schools are alternative schools? but in the alternative education article, it says that magnet schools is part of school choice? On the alternative education article, they didn't mentioned special schools but it mentioned on the top in alternative school.

so in a way, special schools and magnet schools already has a citation on the alternative school article b/c on the top it already explains it. What do you think? (Jessica - talk)

[edit] Do you find it funny

That Jessica, who has always been Jessica has now transformed herself into this 'new' personality 'Angelina'. I find this latest turn of events hilarious. Jessica is really getting very persistent these days, Special education, Alternative school, even Special school. The topics are so related that I've been taking a rest for a while now to try and figure out if she is trying to make them all sound the same or if they are in fact all the same. I'm glad that someone is looking over her edits and I want to give you a big pat on the back for your work. Keep up the good work, MrMacMan ^Talk 20:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I mean i don't even mind that she uses IPs, its just the sheer scope of her work on the same articles. I mean she knows wikipedia policy and its rather clear of her intent, but she doesn't even push POV 'the right way' -- with correct sources -- she pushes it with putting the same info in an article over and over again. I mean if she cited the stuff she used, it wouldn't be an obvious problem, but she doesn't. She could be a great editor, she knows policy and knows stuff about the topics -- she's using her intelligence completely wrong. It's rather saddening. Jessica -- please, you know policy, why continue to use unsourced statements and copy from outside places? We all know you know better. MrMacMan ^Talk 20:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
