Yes there must be so many things you have to figure out when you bring your gun to the classroom. See one professor's questions: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/28/opinion/when-may-i-shoot-a-student.html?_r=0

At the very least, the law should definitely come in handy for controlling unruly student behavior in the classroom. Haven't yet decided what gun(s) to carry to class yet, but I'll be happy to take nominations from fellow TIPSTERS. ..Scott Scott O.

I don't know why but this has been an intermittent problem for Tips posts, I believe that one of my recent posts did not make it to the website. Second, I was unaware that there was a "disability studies" area separate from disabilities specialties within psychology. The real issue is to what extent do people in "disability studies" use criteria other than scientific in evaluating claims and processes (e.g., concerned with different types of "truth" such as "poetic truth" instead of "factual truth"). Third, for Scott, given that the "guns everywhere" law has been signed, what do you plan on carrying to class? Do you choose something to indicate to students that you are just carrying or are you a believer of overwhelming power and fond of saying "Are you feeling lucky?" in class? 1/2 :-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] ------------ Original Message ----------------- > Subject: RE: Facilitated communication > From: "Lilienfeld, Scott O" > Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:30:16 +0000 > > Jim; Thanks for sending along.
