Seeing inverted

Oh wow!
It sure is a great feeling to be up and about again after being sick for three days.
:mrgreen:
I was getting better yesterday except the heavy throbbing headache…urrm, nope, it felt more like my head was swollen and it felt heavy.
So, my body was aching to move around but my head said otherwise.
In attempt to not sleep all day long cos the body detests it…I read.

This book is about an autistic boy who wrote his own investigation book ala Sherlock Holmes.
It’s really a page turner especially when you are a parent having one like him.
Or you are teacher dealing with special kids like him.
Or, you are a teacher seeing these kids like him every day in school.
Like me.
I do not deal with special kids.
I do not have the proper training to do so.
But every time I deal with some of my super duper hyper-active kids, I think of those teachers who deal with special kids.
It’s not easy.
In normal class, it’s easier to have your temperature shoot up because of the students.
One stubborn student, ok.
Make that 20, it is so not ok.
But, these are kids who understand your feelings.
Or at least, be able to feel the fire on your head.
And they will be quiet (even if it’s just for a while).
However, special kids are not like that.
I mean, some of them may recognize feelings but some may not be able to absorb and understand it when needed.
These are people who have world of their own.
Out of the ordinary context that is.
I do not have experience dealing with special kids so I do not have details to share how would they react or respond to things surrounding them.
But I do know that, if I am to be their teacher, I need lots and I mean lots of patience and love and care and not forgetting, passion in my heart.
To all the parents and teachers of such gifted children (they are gifted cos they are known to at least expert in one thing), my hat’s down on you people. Salute!
