Thank you! I had two experiences with children in "special" schools. The first group was comprised of young elementary school children. The second group was mostly high school.
The first group broke my heart because the children were so young and already burdened. What future lay ahead for them?
The second group there were some children who were severely afflicted and also some who would probably manage to live 'normal' lives, but always there would be challenges. Such a sobering experience. It actually wore me down and I had to leave after 8 years.
You're right. We have to feel the soul, but that's hard and exhausting. However, when we're too tired to do the job that way, we should not be in the classroom.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. :)
"School" has to be transformed - better conditions for teacher as well as for kids.
Yes!
