"Children with special needs only want what we all want: to be accepted. Can I make a request of anyone willing to post this and leave it on your status for at least an hour? It is Special Education week, and this is in honor of all children made in a unique way and who learn a little differently"...Quote taken from Dave, my son, on his Facebook page.

Here's to their teachers, the ones who have the patience, the ability and the absolute joy of helping all children to learn.  We all learn in different ways.  I believe teachers need the time to plan effective teaching strategies so that all children can learn.  Let's take an honest look at prep time.  Let's make our schools a better place to learn.
