May 19, 2018, (Canada) Medicine Hat (Alberta) News: New school won’t be bland, conventional http://medicinehatnews.com/news/local-news/2018/05/19/new-school-wont-be-bland-conventional/ “Our vision here is we’re going to equip every classroom to meet the needs of every student,” said Dumanowski. “Every room compliments all learning styles.” This means every room will be set up so a child can work on their own, in groups, standing desks, or whatever is best for them. There will be a “just-right” sensory room, Dumanowski explained, as there are a lot of kids who have a need for a calming environment.

Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.
