LJ Idol Exhibit A Entry...Week 1....Crazy

[amazingwriter23]

When Jake B. was a little guy, he had a 1:1 school aide go with him everywhere but the bathroom. He could do that, but his helper(s) hovered outside the boys' room door just in case. Jake made peculiar sounds and motions, had a flair for the dramatic and loved old sci if movies. He could tell you all about The Man From Planet X, The Forbidden

It's all relative. :)

I love this. I have a son and a daughter who are both very different. My daughter communicates in a way that not many people understand and my son has trouble controlling his temper. I cringe at the word "crazy". They're not. They're really great kids and it's wonderful when I find a teacher who understands them rather than judges them.

Your acceptance of 'different' in your classroom must be a wonderful example for the other kids. Good for you. And good for Jake!

The progress this boy has made is so amazing and inspiring.

The fact that you accept and like who he is equally wonderful. :)

He's lucky to have you as his teacher!

I'm a substitute, so I don't see the guy every day, but when I do see him, I really notice the progress. AW
