I will be the first to admit that the video hit home. When a student comes to school that morning we don't know what the environment they just left was like. We don't know if they had a meal, a place to sleep, or a family. We take " normal people" things for granted. I am going to stop and look at the students IEP's a little closer before I fly off the handle. I am going to give every students their chips. LD's, MIMO, Normal, and Profound.
Good for you, Walter! You learned on both a cognitive and affective level from the video. Dr. J.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Sometimes we just don't know how bad our students might have it at home. We need to be more patient and understanding and still be firm on our classroom management skills.
