I can’t say what would have been and I can’t look back. As one book I read said many of us have to go through a period of mourning of what could have been. I’m not so sure now that is necessary, but those few years after my son’s diagnose were pure hell. The roller coaster of our lives still continues and all I wish for my son is to find himself and his equilibrium in life. I know there is a wonderful place for him in the world if only his creativity can lead him to that place, I also know there will be a person who will love him unconditionally, as we do as long as she gives him the opportunity to show his real self. But, oh, that roller coaster ride up and down is so hard on the body and soul. The why’s of this learning difference are not easy to explain, but those who have it have changed the world and that is something to remember.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977673475682353040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891618773474211456.post-66462279278762028402013-05-22T12:03:35.931-07:002013-05-22T12:03:35.931-07:00I love this list.

Well said,
At our middle school we... Thank you! Well said,<br /> At our middle school we have 2 teachers who regularly use sarcasm (ridicule/mockery used harshly, often crudely and contemptuously) to make students know when they are not pleased with a student's performance or behaviors. <br /> I work at the school and see this regularly. Most parents only see the sweet side of these teachers.<br /> One teacher teaches an elective but students must take 8th grade ELA. Both teachers are vindictive to those who have spoke to them in the past about this. I have spoken with the principle but he is leaving in June. <br /> Any suggestions on how can this be address and monitored so students aren't discouraged?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891618773474211456.post-31072045503695726282013-05-21T21:39:37.905-07:002013-05-21T21:39:37.905-07:00Other areas to support are teacher's ability t...Other areas to support are teacher's ability to monitor if the student has heard the direction.
