The students at Cap-Jeunesse high school north of Montreal were told to place their phones on the teacher’s desk to prevent cheating during a math test. When one phone went missing, teachers ordered the strip search.

“They put us in a small room,” one student told QMI.  ”[They said] ‘take off your bra, then raise your arms.’ They even tapped us on the back,” she said.

A junior-high school Spanish teacher has filed a lawsuit alleging that she was fired from P.S. 211 in the Bronx in March 2012 because of a misunderstanding over the word “negro.”

The non-tenured teacher, 65-year-old Petrona Smith, maintains that she was instructing her class about how to say the various basic colors in Spanish, reports the New York Post. The word “negro” naturally came up because “negro” is the Spanish word for “black.”

A seventh-grade student in the class took offense at the term, however, believing the word to be a racial slur. It’s not clear if Smith directed the term at the student. Whatever the case, he reported the incident to school officials.

But, wait. It gets better. Smith, a native of the West Indies, is black. And to top it all off, P.S. 211 is bilingual.

As a person who is in a constant battle with weight, I can tell you, our biggest enemies are our sense of smell & sense of taste! It’s a fact that most people, like myself, eat to satisfy taste buds, not necessarily to fill stomach. Let me explain, and I’m sure you will agree… 

The sense of smell allows the brain to remind us of the taste, or if we’ve never tasted it before, gives s a good idea of what it will taste like, good or bad. The problem of course is when it is GOOD!!  lol  

Here is an example of “smell” interfering with our attempt of avoiding food… You’re driving, not even thinking of food, and you are stopped at a red light, next to a Burger King. Well, the smell of burgers on the open fire grill fills your sense of smell and suddenly, you’re “hungry”.

Another example: you have just completed a huge meal (Let’s say a big Thanksgiving dinner). You are so full. You just can’t swallow another bit! You are stuffed to the point you have to loosen your waist belt, wishing you had worn a Moo-Moo! Wait! “What is that smell? What is that they are putting on the table? OMG its homemade freshly baked hot Cherry Pie!! Mmmmmmmmmm it smells so good, but I’ll have to pass. If I try to swallow one more bite of anything, I’m going to explode!” Well, guess what… there is a 99% chance that you WILL end up having at least one slice. Yep, no matter how stuffed you are, you’ll find the room, NOT because you are hungry, but because your sense of smell is telling you how delicious that pie is and your taste buds are craving for that pie. NOT your stomach… YOUR TASTE BUDS!!!

 Yet, another example: You just had a nice filling meal. The grandkids come over for the night and they want pizza. You take them to get pizza. You put that fresh hot pizza in the car for that 15 minute drive back home. Well, chances are, even though NOT hungry your taste buds are calling for some of that pizza, and by the time you get home you can’t help but have at least one slice!

I have said for many years now, “diet pills” (speed) may curb your appetite to some degree (as for me, they only make me eat faster), but until they come up with a way to numb of sense of smell & taste, eating “health” and “weight control” will be a lifelong battle.
