Executive order from @realDonaldTrump deeply flawed. @nasw demands more humane, coherent plan that addresses treatment of 2,300 traumatized children who are already detained. Read our full statement: https://t.co/5Fa0uFSixY

I have learned so much from the readings, my peers and professor! One thing I liked about the use of twitter is the feedback people would give, to help understand more about the topics we were discussing #twitterpro

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

@LWaltersSSW That’s great! I’m so glad we used social media for this class it has really opened my eyes to how much of a resource it can be

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

People or organizations you want to see your tweets or you want to get in touch with may not have twitter or other specific social media and that could be a downside. #twittercon

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

@LWaltersSSW Yess. My favorite part is learning about other people’s perspective and feelings towards specific topics.

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

A downside to Twitter is there is only a limited amount of characters or space you have to write and discuss. #twittercon

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

Through the use of social media it is easier to reach people out of your area or that you wouldn’t otherwise have contact with. #twitterpro

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

One positive thing about the use of social media and twitter in this class is that it’s easy to ask questions and receive feedback not only from the class but from the professor. #twitterpro

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

I completely agree with the Lareau text and I feel as if child-rearing strategies and social class make a huge difference in education and long term outcomes. #edinequal

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

Because schools tend to have a Western European approach to learning, parents whose cultural logic towards child-rearing are different from those of the school tend to confuse children and make it difficult for them to learn to the best of their ability. #edinequal

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

Social class, social capital, cultural capital all effect parents or guardians ability to understand educational institutions, understand their children's rights, and also the knowledge of how to effectively advocate for their own child. #edinequal

[Logan Walters @LWaltersSSW]

This is true for parents too. Especially in IEP meetings, ensuring that parents understand all acronyms and how their child is preforming academically. Many times educators in the school system use "teacher lingo" which others are not privy too. #languse https://t.co/ocu79Sq6Md

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

@LWaltersSSW Yes, I'm glad you pointed that out. It is important that we as the school social worker be sure that parents, who are at times also considered our clients, understand everything discussed with the school social worker and other school faculty.

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

@JPswkr Exactly! Hopefully as school social workers we will be able to recognize those students who needs assistance with language, vocabulary, and expressing themselves. If enough students are effected by this issue we could even find interventions to put in place.

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

Children can have issues or “unequal profits” in institutions when they have not developed their vocabulary or learned how to express themselves using words instead of actions or anger. #languse

[Katie Burns @burnsk0409]

Sswks must recognize the difference in social classes to promote the academic success and future life outcomes for the less-advantaged. A child's proficiency in language is considered an inequality and all areas of social work, globally, fight for equal rights. #languse

[Katie Burns @burnsk0409]

@Autumnuncp The worst form of cyber bullying, in my opinion, is when adolescent's (typically in middle/high school) record and post fights on social media. This is one of the first issues I would address by enforcing serious repercussions. #advocate

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

This topic applies to school social work because many children have not developed or been taught language or vocabulary that a SSWKer is used to. It will require more effort from the SSWKer to help the student express their feelings and make their points understood. #languse

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

Language used in the home effects the children and their long term outcomes in many ways because children usually gravitate towards language and vocabulary that is used in the home day to day. #languse

[Autumn G @Autumnuncp]

@burnsk0409 Yes these children do not realize the effects they have on students, their self esteem, futures etc. when they record and post these videos of children fighting. I agree there should be more serious consequences for this behavior.
