The experience was a good one and I decided to take the pludge and become a full time educator.<BR/><BR/>You seem to have a soft spot in your heart for special ed kids. While I am not trained in special education, I have some to understand their issues much over my years and have developed a great empathy for them and in the process have developed a great empathy for people in general.<BR/><BR/>I do a lot of reading, especially if the material has something to do with my profession and I have a couple books to recommend if you ever are looking for something read. One I just read is titled, "Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key," written by Jack Gantos. It's a book for 10-12 year olds, but the subject matter, a 5th grader coping with his ADHD is incredibly eye opening. It would be a quick read. If you can get your hands on the audio version, which is read by the author, I'd highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>The other book is titled, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time," written by Mark Haddon. This is purely a book for adults, but the thing that is interesting about it is that it is written from the perspective of an autistic 15-year old. Extremely eye-opening for an educator to read.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a blogger so you can't respond to my blog should you desire. However, my email address is: stefano21@verison.net if you want to respond.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your military service.<BR/><BR/>Lou<BR/><BR/>P.S. Now that you have the summer off, how 'bout straightening up that back porch!!
