Harvard students today engage in policy discussions on endemic social problems, operate a homeless shelter, and dedicate entire years to service abroad in the poorest parts of the world—all without the encouragement of their deans and professors or the lure of a desk at Goldman Sachs. To call this an inferior mode of social participation to the occupation of a building seems blinkered and unreasonable. The actions of current students are just different responses to a very different world...
...with over the past months. Unfortunately, this attitude is not confined to the laundry room. We’ve all witnessed students as they knock over soda bottles, look around to see if anyone else noticed, and then fail to clean up after themselves. Or we reach under a desk only to find a sticky wad of gum greeting unsuspecting fingertips. Such behavior reeks of seven-year-old self-centeredness. Supposedly, Harvard students are above that.

...sight, smell, taste and touch, but also the proprioceptive and vestibular senses, which tell us where our arms and legs are in relation to the rest of us and how our body is oriented toward gravity. Some kids treated for SPD can't maintain an upright position at a desk; some are so sensitive to touch that they shriek when their fingernails are trimmed or if they get oatmeal on their face. Sounds and smells can be overwhelming. When lawn mowers roar outside the home of Lizzie Cave, 4, a STAR child, she's been known to vomit...
