School and your child's learning difference
Now that school is back in session parents and teachers, alike, are wondering if the children with learning differences will turn their world upside down anytime soon. Parents believe that this school year will be the answer to all of the other failed years. Teachers somehow believe that they will have fewer students with learning differences than they had last year. Both groups usually find out that they are both wrong about mid-October. It is important for teachers to know that out of a class of 20 students they will have at least 5 students that are undiagnosed learning different. This should be a wake up call for educators to educate themselves about learning differences and how to be a more effective teacher. Parents need to realize that there is a problem and get the help that your child needs as soon as possible. If you don't, it will be your child who looses out.
Let me know of your school experiences with your learning different child. Give me the great ones and horrible ones.
