May 15, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | The Secretary of Education, Memorandums to schools and one Superintendent’s response.

"Would you like us to stop offering translation services during parent teacher conferences? Should we cancel bilingual support staff to avoid the appearance of quote, special treatment, end quote? Or would you prefer we just teach all content in English and hope for the best, since acknowledging linguistic barriers now counts as discrimination? And while we're at it, what's your official stance on IEPs? Because last I checked, individualized education plans intentionally give students with disabilities extra support."

May 12, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | The importance of Dreams ❤️.
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"Byproduct of brain activity. Some scientists propose that dreams are simply a result of the brain's electrical activity during sleep and don't necessarily serve a specific purpose. So from what I have read here, obviously there are different ideas, different theories, but again, they're not proven. You know, it's like someone says this, someone says this, someone says this, oy gevalt. Which means, oh my goodness. Well, actually means oh my God. But okay."

"And what I'm proud about my Hobbs is that even though he may not like it, obviously he doesn't bite people or scratch or hurt them or just make it a bad experience for human like. Hobbs will look at you and go, okay, not cool. But you can tell by the look. Anyway, it was just really cool because this was the cat, one of my four boys that is. Well, he was a feral kitten."

May 06, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | Our names, their meanings, and do they REALLY shape who we are?
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"Do you think there's a psychological component that somehow we just know that this is what our name means and this is what we're going to be? This is who we're going to be, this is how we're going to be formed? Does the universe play a part in this? I don't know. So I'm going to turn this over to you my dear listeners. I would love to hear what you think about this."

May 01, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | Misconceptions about blindness/visual impairment
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"Things do not form properly in your eye. And no, he is not faking it, people. Okay? And I want you all to know that blindness is a spectrum. And I've talked about this before. How it affects one person is how it affects that one person. A lot of people. And again, I'm generalizing here, but this is not always the rule. But a lot of people, even if they're derm."

April 28, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | National Superhero Day: how do you define the word hero?
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"But in terms of real life heroes, yes, the special needs family and the community, to me, are the real superheroes. And they are people we can learn from on so many levels, so many ways, and they make such a positive impact in the world. And I really hope that as people really think about this, how they define the word hero, that they think about this and think completely about people in the world and not just the fantasy world. That can be a fun escape."

April 24, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | Yom Hashoah:Holocaust Memorial Day. The importance of remembering and learning from this tragedy.
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"And when I have ever taught anyone about the Holocaust or any atrocity to that matter relating to these concepts, I have always modified this. And I always let parents know beforehand. And they can even be in the classroom if they want, as long as they don't step in while I'm teaching. And if they have any issues, they can talk to my student, my student, teachers, or teaching aids, whichever one, depending what school I'm at."

April 22, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | Charter, public, private schools, and the Department of Education . What are the differences and how does it relate to Special Education?
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"But I'm going to go ahead and talk to you about private schools, especially because I want you all to understand this. And this does tie in to a lot of the regulations that are going on lately with the Trump administration and them trying to get rid of the Department of Education. Okay? And the fact that they're saying, oh, it's people's choice, private schools, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay?"

April 17, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | RFK Jr. and his erroneous claims about Autism Spectrum Disorders
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"So in order to basically me debunk what this man has said, because I have been a special education teacher, a veteran one, for 19 years, I have worked with this population. Now, I'm not autistic myself. I do not claim to know everything because I don't have that kind of humorous. Y'all. I just don't. But again, this makes me sick because the misinformation out there, it is not okay. All right?"

April 14, 2025 @TheMs.Leanne | The importance of friendship ❤️
Click here to reply to @TheMs.Leanne

"Research suggests that strong social connections are linked to improve cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure and a lower risk of premature death. Not too shabby, huh? Self awareness. Friends can offer different perspectives, helping individuals become more self aware and understand their own thoughts and feelings. Increased self esteem. Friends can make individuals feel important and worthwhile, boosting their self confidence, which I did repeat myself a little bit there, but it's so important, I had to, I guess. Enhanced communication skills."
