9-1-1

In turn, the understaffing problem can be at least partially attributed to lack of funding. Almost everyone pays a “9-1-1 service fee” as part of their phone bill. This money is then used to help fund 911 dispatch centers. Except this is not necessarily true. “The FCC’s fee reports show that since 2008, at least 20 states [including California] have diverted those dollars elsewhere. . . New York state, which has seen multiple breakdowns in its 9-1-1 systems, took in over $185 million dollars in fees in 2014, but then diverted $77 million into the state’s general fund where it could be spent on pretty much anything” (911). The problem does not necessarily lie with not raising enough in funds, but rather with the fact that a huge portion of that money may get diverted away from the 911 dispatch centers that desperately need it. This lack of funds makes it difficult to hire more workers and to keep dispatchers they already have. 911 operators work long hours in an incredibly stressful…

Introduction: It was a hot summer morning in 2012. A 911 operator received a call at 9:45 am from a man.

Anna's dog has been barking uncontrollably. The police and the EMT arrived at Anna's house at…

Instead, we drive to work 1-2 hours away, to wait for shifts of up to 14 hours overnight. This takes us away from our families and homes, and as a result sometimes extending the 14 hour shift to a “back-to-back” shift lasting up to 38 hours. More often than not, these shifts are accepted in hopes of increasing our chances of making a living. Sometimes this practice causes the an ambulance to go down due to paramedic fatigue, and one less resource is able to respond to your emergency as a…

said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11. Placement within Carpenter’s framework: Student A falls within the ‘direct modeling’ framework. Student A had a one to…
