DIY Rat Infestation: Successful Battle Plans?
Anastasia, I had the same thing due to a tenant overfilling the trash can, leaving the top open next to a concrete wall and an empty field = Free lunch for all! My pest control guy used bait stations specifically for rats and surrounded the home with them. The plan was to get to them before they entered the home and died in the walls, it worked.

Open Forum: Why I am proud to support Chip Newcome
I remember hearing over and over again as I studied to become an educator that teachers must stay out of politics, that teaching must be non-political, or that teaching should somehow be above politics. As a young teacher, I quickly learned how wrong that was and is. Teaching is in its very nature a political act, and politics touch almost every element of what we do.

Talking Equity in Polarized Times: Stories and Strategies from Teachers and Students June 13, 2024 By Kristien Zenkov, Lin Rudder, Jeff Keller, and Meagan Call-Cummings It’s hard for me to explain to people who aren’t teachers how skilled I am at this, how much training I’ve had, and how I take this so seriously.

Baseline assessment key when reviewing inmate mental health
When it comes to assessing an inmate's mental health, we must rely on subjective markers and compare those markers to the inmate's baseline This column was originally posted on Jeff Keller's blog, Jail Medicine. According to the fitness tracker I wear on my wrist, I slept for 7 hours and 13 minutes last night. I was restless eight times and woke up twice. What does that tell me? No idea.

How sleeplessness can impact inmates with medical problems

It is filling up.
How medical staff should handle inmate bunk requests
Since medical providers must be fair and consistent, it is important to differentiate medical need for a low bunk from requests made for non-medical reasons This column was originally posted on Jeff Keller's blog, Jail Medicine. This clinical guideline is intended to be used as a template to help clinicians and administrators create their own policies. This sample guideline must be modified to make it applicable to each unique correctional facility.

Blair’s defense of education overhaul built on falsehoods
In their recent special session, West Virginia Republicans forced through some of the most anti-teacher, anti-student legislation to be passed in the United States in recent memory.
