My students are wonderful, smart, funny, interesting, and always yearning to learn new things. They each struggle with learning disabilities and behavior disorders. While teaching them to read is often a struggle, the rewards are well worth it. Often, my students are teased about being "special ed." I have made it my mission to spread the truth about intelligence and learning differences throughout our school community. I openly discuss with my class how important it is for the world to have people like them who learn and think differently. After all, don't we owe all of the most important and amazing inventions and discoveries to those people who think and learn outside of the norm!? During a school year, my goal is for my students to internalize that they really have "exceptional learning." I would rather teach my students than any other children in the building. They are the most sensitive, interesting people I know. I don't let them forget it!
