If I have two students that are having personal issues that do not actually pertain to school but rather to their personal issues, how do I handle this without letting it affect my relationship with either of them?

I've noticed that one student with a bad attitude will definitely bring down student's around them. How can I stop this negativity from spreading in the class?

Why is it not acceptable to ask about disabilities on a document prior to acceptance and it is okay to ask a persons race for financial aid? Seems like the same thing? It's like asking a juror to disregard counsel's last statement isn't it? As a human being it's hard to "unknow" something.

If the law doesn't mandate how the accomodations are made, how can it be ensured that proper arrangements are made for a particular student with a particular disability?

I teach cosmetology and a great period of my student's day is spent working independently on applications. How can I keep students with ADHD on task during this time?

What are some examples of social disabilities and what defines the severity?

I have a student that doesn't have a "disability" but has extreme anxiety associated with taking tests. What are some ways that I can help ease this anxiety and help her?

Do you perhaps have some ideas on how to make my students better writers without seeming like an English class? I teach cosmetology and our time is limited due to having so much info to cover from out branch but I have some students that I feel could really benefit from some exercises that will better their skills in communication.

I work with cosmetology students and this is, of course, a field that requires effective communication. I have a student that is an extreme introvert and I was wondering do you have any advice on how to get her to be more open. She does better in small groups but how do I give her a role where she can take the lead?

I teach a group of twelve students that are technically allowed to have 2 fifteen minute breaks a day, aside from lunch. Do you recommend breaking the breaks up into say five to ten minute breaks or is fifteen a good number before returning to learning? Is it better to do more, shorter breaks or less, longer breaks?
