Jan. 13th, 2012 10:35 pmIs Gingrich seriously think that if he points out that Romney speaks French it is some sort of bad thing? Wow. That is sad.
An interesting article on teaching kids about gender and how to appreciate the difference in people.
Local College is making all employees to do online sexual harassment seminar and a one on sexual abuse. I think this is partly a response to recent events. A lot of legalese. This online thing also gives very specific legal definitions like when the institution is liable. Mostly this seminar is for institution to avoid liability by ‘education.’ But I think it is useful overall. I’m just glad I can do this online and not attend a class on it. A lot is common sense, like don’t make advances on anyone especially students or others, especially if you are in a power position. No kidding.
I did like some of the questions we had to answer to test our understanding. Basically, it is report everything if there is any problem and be extra cautious. Some examples after a cut.
( sample questions )
The sexual abuse online seminar was a bit boring since it was mostly listening to computer reading aloud what is written on a page- I would rather just read. It would be faster and I would have tuned in to more information, although there was nothing surprising or new. Just how to read the signs and the obligation to report it.
( Grimm S1E8 ) I love this show more and more with every episode.
