Dallas ISD is expanding aprogram that has proven tosignificantly reduce thenumber of disciplinaryissues that happen in aclassroom.

Restorative practices,which was formerlyreferred to as restorativediscipline, is designed toproactively address disci‐plinary and behavioralissues before they escalate.Dallas ISD piloted restora‐tive practices at six schoolslast year and is implement‐ing the program at an addi‐tional 14 schools this year.The district has also addeda restorative practices spe‐cialist to help implementthe program at the schools.

Middle school class‐rooms that used restora‐tive practices last year sawa 70‐percent reduction inin‐school suspensions anda 77‐percent reduction inout‐of‐school suspensions.

“The results so far havejust been phenomenal,”said Jay Sheets, the dis‐

trict’s restorative disciplinecoordinator. “We arethrilled to be able toexpand the program thisyear.”

The restorative practicesprocess has students gath‐er in circles in their class‐rooms when a student isdisruptive. Teachers askquestions, and then stu‐dents – one at a time –have a chance to respond.The goal is to reduce theamount of time studentsmust be disciplined outsidethe classroom, cutting intovaluable instructional time.

“Restorative practices isa chance for the studentsto build a relationship withthe teachers,” Sheets said.“And what we’re seeing is,if a student has a relation‐ship with the teacher, a lotof the issues that comeacross as classroom man‐agement and classroomdiscipline can be solvedwith the teacher and stu‐dent.”

What kind of love are yousearching for? Are you lookingfor Eros or an Agape kind oflove? Many of us want love inour lives, but we go about try‐ing to get love in the wrongway. In the book of John, itspeaks of a kind of love that isgreater and more fulfilling. Itreferences the kind of lovethat is freely given wanting

nothing in return. “By this all will know that

you are My disciples, if youhave love for one another”(John 13:35). I’m sure many ofyou have heard this versebefore. But have you everthought about what this versemeans? This verse has a deep‐er meaning about love thanmany of us can comprehend.Jesus wanted His disciples tolove one another in a way thatmost people could not under‐stand then or now. Jesuswanted them to love eachother without wanting any‐thing in return. He wanted Hisdisciples to have an agape kindof love. This is the kind of lovethat Jesus has for all of us.Jesus loves us without wantinganything in return.

Often we think of love in its

romantic form, but it is possi‐ble for us to be able to have akind of love that is deeperthan we can understand.However, we often wantsomething in return. Thesecret to loving people withopen arms is learning how tohave an agape type of love foreach other. Jesus is the per‐fect example of this type oflove. When He went to thecross and gave His life for sin‐ners like you and me, Jesuswas showing and expressingan unselfish love. That is whatagape love is—it is unselfish.

Yet, the most important ele‐ment of an agape type of loveis that a person must be will‐ing to express this kind of lovewithout giving it a secondthought. And this is whatJesus did. He did not think

twice about whether what Hewas doing was the right thingor not. He simply did what Heknew He had to do and gaveHis life on the cross for all ofus. This precious gift was sofreely given to all of us that westill have a difficult timeunderstanding fully the priceHe paid for being unselfish andshowing mankind an agapetype of love.

Is there someone whom youcan show an agape type oflove toward? If so, can youexpress it in a Christ‐like man‐ner? If you are willing to showpeople an agape type of love,then people will be able to geta glimpse of Christ in you. Areyou willing to express God’sagape love toward someonetoday? I know I am. Amen?Amen.

By John Calvin Smith

Having arrived at the 9th chapterof the grand book of Romans, wehave discussed Paul’s awesomeargument that both the Gentilesand the Jews stood guilty beforeHoly God. The Gentiles had God’snatural revelation (creation) andthey spurned God’s revelation,resulting in them being guilty of fla‐grant idolatry and gross sexual con‐duct (Romans 1:18‐28). Moreover,the Jews were privileged with theLaw but they did not live to thestandard of the Law (Romans 2:17‐29). As a rightful conclusion, Pauldeclared that both groups wereguilty, for in Romans 3:10 it states –“As it is written, there is none right‐

eous, no not one.” To further emphasize the guilt of

both groups, Paul declared inRomans 3:23 “For all have sinned,and come short of the glory ofGod.” Being in a lost position,mankind needed God’s providedrighteousness in Jesus Christ tosecure a righteous standing beforeHoly God. Through faith in God’sprovided righteousness, mankindcan be justified before God, forRomans 5:1 says – “Therefore,being justified by faith, we havepeace with God through our LordJesus Christ.” Despite mankind’slost condition, he needs to knowthat God expressed His uncondi‐tional love in the sending of His Son,Jesus Christ, to remedy his condi‐tion, for Romans 5:8 says – “ButGod commendeth His love towardus, in that, while we were yet sin‐ners, Christ died for us.”

In chapters 6‐8, Paul discussedthe area of sanctification with refer‐ence to the believer. Paul wantedthe Roman believers to know thatthey had died to the reigning powerof sin through identification withChrist’s death, burial and resurrec‐tion (Romans 6:3‐4), and that they

were no longer married to the Law,but to Christ (Romans 7:1‐6).Therefore, victory in the Christianlife is only achieved by walking inthe freedom or liberty of the HolySpirit Romans 8:2, 5).

In retrospect, as one carefullyreads chapters 1‐8 of this letter as itdeals with the subject of salvation,it is evident that the next section ofthis great book will deal with thesovereignty of God in relation toIsrael in God’s prophetic program(chapters 9‐11). As it relates toGod’s prophetic program for Israel,He has not totally abandoned her.He is presently dealing with a called‐out group, the church; and after Hefinishes His program with thechurch He will resume His programwith Israel (Acts 15:14‐16). InRomans 9:1‐2, the Apostle Paul’sheart is anguishing, because hispeople, the Jewish nation, haverejected the gospel. Paul is reallyperplexed, acting even as a media‐tor for his people, for verse says –“For I could wish that myself wereaccursed from Christ for mybrethren, my kinsmen according tothe flesh.” The love that Paul hadfor his people was certainly

astounding! Moses also expressedhis sentiment for his people inExodus 32:31‐32.

Having discussed his strongdesire for Israel’s salvation (v. 3),Paul will enumerate the variousprivileges that the nation of Israelpossessed in verses 4‐5, and theywere: (1) adoption as a nation ‐Exodus 4:22; Deuteronomy 7:6; (2)glory ‐ Exodus 40:35; (3) covenants‐ Ephesians 2:12; (4) law ‐ Exodus19:5, 31:13; (5) service of God ‐Exodus 19:6; (6) promises – Joshua1:2; (7) fathers – Abraham, Isaac,Jacob; (8) Christ, the Messiah.Finally, the sovereignty of God issupremely expressed in relation toIsrael, in that, He chose Isaac overIshmael (9:6‐9), and Jacob overEsau (9:10‐13). And in so doing,Paul was expressing the fact thatthe spiritual offspring of promisewas the remnant that was trueIsraelites, not the natural offspringof Abraham. Thus, the Israelitesthat believed the gospel were sov‐ereignly chosen by God. Althoughchosen by God, the remnant hadthe responsibility to believe(Romans 4:1‐3).

May God Bless!

A Little Bit of Faith: Give Love

Are You Raising One of the Next Generation of Hoodlums:EXPECTATION FOR A NEW SCHOOL YEAR

Dr. Joyce Willard Teal

Parents: Research has shownthat parental expectations forchildren’s academic achieve‐ment predict educational out‐comes more than any othermeasures of parental involve‐ment. So please know that theexpectations parents have fortheir sons’ behavior also mat‐ter! The expectations parentshave for their sons’ schoolattainment influence theirsons’ expectations and achieve‐ment. So please, make it clearto your son that you expect himto achieve and you expect himto behave appropriately.

Parental expectations aremore likely to affect childrenwhen parent‐child relationshipsare characterized by closeness

and warmth. Parental expecta‐tions influence children’s out‐comes through numerous path‐ways. Parental expectationsdirectly affect the amount ofparent‐child communicationabout school. Additionally, fam‐ilies with high educational aspi‐rations for their sons take thetime to provide out‐of‐schoollearning opportunities forthem. Students who say theirparents expect them to attendcollege have better attendanceand more positive attitudestoward school, according toone study.

Parental expectations alsoaffect your sons’ own aspira‐tions and personal expecta‐tions. Studies suggest that par‐ents’ expectations for their chil‐dren’s academic attainmenthave a moderate to stronginfluence on students’ owngoals for postsecondary educa‐tion. Further, both sets ofexpectations are moderated bycharacteristics of the parent,child, and community.

Begin early in your sons’ livesmaking them aware that youhave expectations for them andassuring that they know whatyour expectations are. One of

the main reasons many boysget off track in school isbecause their parents do nottalk with them on a regularbasis regarding what theyexpect. Many parents wait untiltheir sons get in trouble, eitherbehaviorally or academically,before they have a serious con‐versation with them aboutappropriate behavior and theimportance of putting forththeir best efforts. They areseemingly reluctant to talk totheir sons about what they, asparents, expect them to do andwhat they expect them not todo. Both are important!

Summer is just about over.The new academic year isimminent. No matter whatgrade level your young son,tween or teen is entering thisnew school year, provide himthe opportunity to enter withyour clear, parental expecta‐tions firmly fixed in his psyche.This is one of the best thingsyou can do for your son!

Make sure you are clear andspecific and that your sonunderstands that certain expec‐tations are not negotiable, thatyou expect this to always hap‐pen. Specific, non‐negotiable

items should include:• Respectful speech and

attitude (most especially withadult authorities)

• All written communi‐cation sent by the school willbe given to you promptly

• All homework and in‐school assignments will becompleted

• There will be no bully‐ing (ever)

• You will choose appro‐priate friends and associates

Parents: It is very importantfor your sons to know that youhave expectations for them andalso equally important thatthey know what your expecta‐tions are. Clarifying yourexpect‐ations prior to thebeginning of the new schoolyear, and then providing fre‐quent reminders to keep theexpectations fresh on yoursons’ minds serves to helpthem maintain their focus.

It’s finally here, themoment you’ve all beenwaiting for – the highly‐anticipated decision thatdenotes the ultimateachievement in fair food.Presenting guests with anample assortment of tastytreats, this year’s finalistsproved that there is noshortage of creativity whenit comes to the Big Tex®Choice Awards. After tast‐ing all eight foods and care‐fully evaluating each item,the all‐star panel of judgeshas made its tallies and castits final votes. Drum rollplease…and the winnersare: Best Taste goes toRuth Hauntz for Fried Jell‐O®, while Isaac Roussotakes the title of MostCreative for his State FairCookie Fries.

After being a concession‐aire at the State Fair ofTexas for 28 years, RuthHauntz is no stranger to theworld of Fair food. This isRuth’s second time to bechosen as a Big Tex ChoiceAwards finalist, and herfirst time winning one ofthe two coveted titles. Forthe first time in Big TexChoice Awards history,America's favorite child‐hood dessert is given aState Fair of Texas twist! Aclassic cherry‐flavored Jell‐O in a panko‐crusted bread‐ing is flash‐fried to perfec‐tion and then dusted withpowdered sugar. Preparedwith a tasty topping ofwhipped cream and a cher‐ry garnish, this dish has theperfect amount of crunchto compliment the jiggle.

A finalist in the Big TexChoice Awards for the pastseven years, Isaac Roussohas now received the MostCreative title two years in arow. Isaac’s State FairCookie Fries are a uniqueplay on America's favoritesavory side dish. The cook‐ie fry may look like it needsketchup, but don’t befooled by the classic crin‐kle‐cut appearance.Offered in traditional cook‐ie flavors like chocolatechip or sprinkles, thesesweet treats are servedwith your choice of theaccompanying strawberryor milk chocolate sauce.Just consider it an under‐cover cookie in fry‐formdisguise.

With such a solid list ofcontenders in the finaleight, this year’s Big TexChoice Awards posed quitea challenge for the judges,who were tasked with pick‐ing only two winners.Going up against thesewinners, and proving to bevery worthy opponents,the other foods that madeit to the final roundinclude: CaribbeanPineapple Korn‐a‐Copia byStephen Alade, Deep FriedBacon Burger Dog Slider ona Stick by Brent & JuanReaves, Deep Fried PulledPork "FUNYUN®" Dings byChris Howard, Fernie’sDown Home Chicken PotPie Pocket with Mac 'nCheese Dip by ChristiErpillo, Injectable GreatBalls of BBQ by Glen Kusakand Southern Fried Chicken& Dumplins by Clint Probst.

Olympic Gold Medalist Simone BilesWelcomed Home to Texas

Directed by Greg Whiteley(Mitt, New York Doll,Resolved), Last Chance U is acharacter driven, gut‐wrench‐ing behind‐the‐scenes look atthe world of college football.

The six‐part series follows agroup of young men trainingto become the future stars ofthe NFL. The football playersare the latest recruits to EastMississippi CommunityCollege (EMCC), an undefeat‐ed team with 3 consecutiveNational Championshipsunder their belt. The EMCCLions have become a phe‐nomenon in junior collegesports, attracting elite ath‐letes, some of whom havebeen held back by poor aca‐demic performance or behav‐ioral issues. Under CoachBuddy Stephens, EMCC hasbecome one of the most suc‐cessful but least known ath‐letic programs, graduatingmore than 20 players per yearinto football scholarships atfour year universities, withnine of his former players cur‐rently playing in the NFL.

Netflix announced inAugust that it will renew LastChance U for a second sea‐son.

(AP) ‐ Fans waved Americanflags and cheered as Olympicgold medalist Simone Bilesarrived home in Texas followingthe games in Rio de Janeiro.

“Rapping with the Fairy”WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THE START OF SCHOOL?

School yards are now filled with excited children connecting with newand old friends, high pitched laughter about a really funny story and whin‐

ing moans of disappointed classes. For parents and/or guardians, the first day of class brings asigh of relief in knowing that for the most part, their child is safely tucked away if not for most ofthe day, at least for the next eight hours. (Ten hours if the “After School” sign up list isn’t filled up!)The excitement of the start of school kicks in on the first day and the kids are coasting from thenon for the next few weeks! These two brothers that are not only close in age but also close in theirbehaviors, interests and ways of thinking which gave me a few words for thought!

Roland: ”I can hardly wait until school starts again! I haven’tseen some of my friends since school let out most and most ofmy friends don’t live close to me! I want to see the teachers too.They’re nice. They take the time to help you and we studentscan tell that our teachers really want us to succeed. My favoritesubject in school is Math. I like math because I like to solve prob‐lems. Most people think I’m shy but I like to go wild on the foot‐ball field! I sure will be glad to get back to playing. I’m the run‐ning back and wide receiver. On our soccer team I play on thefront four squad! We protect the ball! I play basketball too and Imake a lot of baskets but I can’t let any of it go to my headbecause a student can’t play sports at all if he or she doesn’tkeep their grades up and I love sports a lot! I didn’t get to playthe first year I tried out and I had to wait a year. I didn’t give upand I’ve been playing hard ever since. So I would advise otherkids to try and do your best and never ever give up.

D’Eric: “I’ll be glad to get back active in sports again! I play shooting guard in basketball, I playrunning back, wide receiver and quarterback in football, I play “front four” in soccer and I run100, 200, 400, 800, long jump and triple long jump in track. My favorite subjects are science andhistory. I like science because of the chemistry and about the different parts of the body. I likelearning how the body works and I like discovering how things affect your body. I enjoy historyand reading about inventions and the many discoveries. I’ll be excited about starting school alsobecause I’ll get to see my previous teachers again. I’ll be glad to see my friends because when Iwas in the hospital a lot of them came to see me and you know the saying “You find out whoyour real friends are” came true because I was in the hospital a long way from my home andfriends. One thing I have learned and will always remember is people who don’t remember thepast will condemn it. Meaning they will repeat the mistakes. I want to make as few mistakes inlife as possible and never repeat them!”

Fairy: I’m proud to see these two young men know and understand that although sports aregreat, it’s important to do well in other subjects as well! It’s always a rewarding thing to developgood study habits early in the school year and try to do your homework as soon as possible afterthe assignment is given to eliminate the possibility of missed assignments. Graduation should beeveryone’s ultimate goal. Think of it like this: “Every semester equals = a great year and everygreat year equals = a greater step up your ladder of educational achievement! And you can quoteme on that!

Dr. Diane Minger, pro‐gram coordinator formanagement at CedarValley College, said themanagement program inthe Dallas CountyCommunity CollegeDistrict is unique becauseit allows students to earncollege credits for theirjobs. She added that stu‐dents must have a job inorder to enroll in the pro‐gram, and if they’re notemployed, the collegecan help them find a job.

“The program is noti n d u s t r y ‐ s p e c i f i c ,”Minger said.“Management cutsacross all fields becauseevery industry uses man‐agers. Managerial skillsare transferable becausestudents learn leader‐ship, problem‐solving,decision‐making, plan‐ning and many other abil‐ities.”

Gemmy Allen, manage‐ment faculty at NorthLake, said most peoplewho enroll in the pro‐gram already have beenemployed for severalyears, and they knowthey will not get a pro‐motion without a creden‐tial such as an associatedegree.

“We call it cooperativeeducation,” said Allen.“The student works withfaculty and the supervi‐sor in the workplace tocome up with a project.Then the student’s super‐visor evaluates that proj‐ect, but the faculty mem‐

ber assigns the grade.”Management skills

increase job potentialBill Mynar, who works

in a Dallas‐based manu‐facturing company as aprocedure writer andsupervisor, said the pro‐gram already has taughthim valuable skills at hisjob.

“I take the lessons fromclass and use themdirectly in my job. I havelearned time‐manage‐ment skills and how todeal with certain peo‐ple,” Mynar said. “Theprogram puts you in real‐life situations so that youcan take what you learnand use it in life andwork. It’s practical knowl‐edge.”

Mynar and Rubio canexpect to do well afterthey finish their degrees.According to data fromEMSI, a Dallas‐based eco‐nomic data consultingfirm, more than 3,500management occupa‐tions are projected to beadded in the Dallas‐FortWorth area between2016 and 2017.

In addition, NorthTexas experienced a 3.6percent job growth ratein management occupa‐tions from 2015 to 2016.That’s better than thenational rate of 2 per‐cent.

Allen said many of thestudents she teachesalready have taken somecollege but didn’t gradu‐ate. “Life gets in the wayfor many of them,” shesaid.

Mynar, who is 42, saidhe started his collegecareer somewhat late inlife and is now juggling afull‐time job and a family,including a set of twins.He said the program’sonline aspect has helpedhim with his tight sched‐ule.

“But what I’ve liked themost is the co‐op,”Mynar stated. “I likemeeting with other stu‐dents on Saturdays for afew hours and interactingwith them. It’s an envi‐ronment that is reallysupportive, and every‐body is pulling for eachother to really succeed.”

Moving ahead

Mynar said he’s plan‐ning to get a bachelor’sdegree after he finishesthe program and eventu‐ally move from his super‐visory position into man‐agement at his company.

Rubio said he hopes toenroll directly in Embry‐Riddle AeronauticalUniversity to earn a four‐year degree. “I love air‐craft, and this manage‐ment degree will help memove along and get intothe aviation industry,” headded.

Minger said students inthe program learn “hardand soft skills, such asunderstanding spreadsheets, balance sheetsand income statements.In addition, they learnhow to communicatewell, articulate ideas anddeal with employees.”
