The historic and groundbreaking decision from Canada’s top court sweeps away the existing law and gives Parliament a year to draft new legislation that recognizes the right of clearly consenting adults who are enduring intolerable suffering to seek medical help ending their lives. “So long as this doesn’t look like it’s a process run amok … people are willing to accept it, and the levels of approval increase over time.” Cambell, who has studied Oregon’s experience closely.
“You want to avoid a sort of American Wild, Wild West, angels of medical mercy going around without any kind of accountability or responsibility,” said Prof. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
"I just like learning about science," said Briana Luna, 10, a fourth-grader from the Bronx, who used a scale to weigh objects and explore the concept of density in class on Thursday. His high-energy teaching style thrills his young students, who learn science without even realizing they're doing something that could help with their future. "We can't let that happen."īrown uses hands-on classroom experiments to teach science whenever possible and is quick to use real-life examples to illustrate scientific concepts. "These kids could be left behind otherwise," said Brown. His greatest priority, though, is teaching third- and fourth-grade science at PS 15. He conducts research at Yale two nights a week and also moonlights as a professor at Mercy College medical school. Brown has taught at PS 15 since it was founded in 1995 and holds a doctorate in cell biology. The passionate math and science teachers at PS 15 help keep kids motivated about the subject, said Dupree, even though the students don't all come from tech-savvy families.
"These kids need to learn math and science to compete in the global economy." "We keep up the pressure on math and science, and we're making progress," said Edmonds, a Bronx native who graduated from Brooklyn Tech. PS 15 has intensive classes in both subjects for all students, a computer lab, math coaches and other resources that helped it outperform the city average on math and science tests. At Public School 15 in the Bronx, half of students don't have access to computers or smartphones in their homes.īut the challenges faced by the community have only heightened the determination of Principal Tara Edmonds to prepare her kids in math and science. Most of the kids at NEST, where admission is determined by how kids perform on a competitive exam, have access to computers at home and highly motivated parents who help them stay on top of technology.īut the STEM revolution has made it to less-advantaged schools as well. They need something to show for their efforts." "Children learn by doing," said NEST Principal Olga Livanis.
