Five Reasons I don't Assign Homework →
world-shaker:
A short, but provocative article. This one may be the most incendiary thing on the list:
3 — Homework impinges upon a student’s time with family and on other, more valuable, activities — like play. As Alfie Kohn states in The Homework Myth, why should children be asked to work a second shift? It’s unconscionable to send children to work for nearly eight hours a day, then have...

Lice & Babies
1999 …
head lice …
I would have to say that it is strange that someone of that age has lice so late into the year. What wasn’t’ so strange about this particular patient was she was pregnant. Yes, that’s right, 13 years old and preggers. What are kids thinking now-a-days, that kids are like pets?
So, here she was looking for lice treatment (ironic, because part...

Dr. Bioc's Valentine's Day
Everyday, I get a new patient coming to Whittier. Some are like your everyday patients that you see once a month for their check-up and for their maintenance meds. There are some patients you see everyday with multiple co-morbidities that need a lot of attention. Then, you get that one patient that you know really appreciates you.
Today, a lady came to me saying that she needed all her...

Too Busy to Love My Baby
This is Sora. He is the love of my life and my forever partner. As much as he likes scratching and biting me when he wants to play, I still love him. He really is the cat version of me. Unfortunately, it’s coming to the point where reality is constantly slapping me in the face telling me that Sora has to go.
I’m so busy that the only time I spend with him is when I’m...

On Looking Past College
Every kid lives there lives looking at people older than them with the eagerness to quickly catch up. Even now, I still have that little part of me that looks up and see the people that were once my schoolmates making way in their real lives. It makes me anxious and scared because I don’t know what I want.
Instead of studying, I’ve been perusing my usual internet social networks...

Kids on Adderall (Dextroamphetamines)
After working today, I must express my concern that dextroamphetamines are not substitutes for good parenting.
This morning, a mother comes into my pharmacy that I gathered was pretty agitated by the way she was talking to her son and franticly walking. We had just opened, so naturally I was starting on things to help the day run smoother: fixing the computers, clearing the work stations,...
