! MOM FIGURE NOW ! : STUDENTS GLOBAL ESSAY

 

'' TEACHER SAHIBZADI 'SHAZIA GUL' MOM FIGURE NOW FOR PROUD PAKISTAN.''

SHAZIA hails from a very distinguished family, - A Happy Family! A wife, mother, niece and aunt, and more importantly she is a blessed human of very High Class.''

ARMED with a long catalogue of the Great Lord's '' trials and tribulations'' too, all of which she faced with prayers, grit and sterling character. Lovingly called Shazo, she held her entire family together with sacrifices and grace that I have yet to encounter and applause elsewhere.

A FORMER prized teacher of Head Start, she went to set many great examples for her many, many students.

It is a great honour to bestow on her esteemed self the life-long membership of The World Students Society and to nominate her as the Mom Figure.

She should quickly arrange for her own counseling, research and INTERFACE for the Pakistani students, all.

I PRAY and give her a totally open canvas and I do that with the assurance that should any need arise, she will have direct access to anybody in the country.

In her early schooling at the Presentation Convent, she displayed very early excellence and finished with a First Class in Masters in Public Administration and Policy from the renowned Quaid-E-Azam University.

'' Students New World Of Vigilance '' : On a recent Thursday. Mr. Clubbs arrived at work to find a small blizzard of alerts from GoGuardian Beacon, a software that scans what students type on their school devices.

Twenty-six were false alarms - a health class was researching suicide - but there was also an '' active planning '' alert set off at 9.30 a.m when a student typing on a Chromebook in a classroom, searched the phrase '' how to die.''

Mr. Chubbs is a former police officer, and active planning alerts flip him into a familiar state of intense, blinkered focus. Straight away, the student would be pulled out of class and administered the Columbia Protocol, - a suicide screening tool that begins, ''Have you wished you were dead or wished you could go to sleep and not wake up? ''

'' When we get an active planning alert, everything drops, '' Mr. Clubbs said. '' We seek out the student and we talk to that student.''

Neosho is a small, content conservative town on the western edge on the western edge of the Ozarks, the kind of place where much of the population shows up for a football games.

It is also a place where children have struggled terribly. Between 2014 and 2018, Neosho had eight students suicides, an alarming number in a district of just under 5,000.

Often, it would emerge that the children had told friends of their plans, Mr. Chubbs said, but the friends hadn't reached out to adults. '' We were relying on parents and students to come forward themselves and say, Hey, we're struggling, we need help,'' he said. '' And that wasn't coming in.''

Neosho was one of GoGuardian's first customers, beta testing the software in return for a discount. [ The company declined to answer questions about pricing ; GovSpend, a database that tracks contracts, said Neosho paid the company $46,000 for the 2022-3 school year.]

Two weeks into the school's trial of Beacon, Tracy Clements, who was then director of counseling, received a call from GoGuardian telling her a female student was searching. '' How much Tylenol does it take to die?''

Unable to reach the girl's parents, Ms. Clements drove to her house, knocked on the door and found her home alone.

'' She recognized me from school,'' Ms. Clements said. '' I said, '' Do you know why I'm here?'' She said, '' Because I am about to kill myself.' ''

The girl was hospitalized, and Ms. Clements became a believer, eventually leaving the school system to work at GoGuardian.
