I have an adult friend whom I think suffers from it, long undiagnosed. I'm not even sure it had been identified when we were kids. Hopefully with the right village, as you called it, of teachers, and his wonderful, loving family, he'll find his way to cope, exceed, and prosper. I don't know tons about it, but I have read that it's all about finding the right "path"! Good luck to you all- meanwhile: enjoy your handful! They grow up so fast!<br /><br />Kailyn is right... KIPP did start here in Houston. I hear wonderful things about it, and it requires strict parent involvement, so you don't have all those kids there whose parents just send them to school for free babysitting. Our Partners in Time program at work has donated lots of time at the school helping them paint, landscape, redecorate classrooms, etc. I would definitely explore what they have to offer!!Miss Ginger Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494225040016735718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-11871548811850198162012-03-08T22:12:56.086-06:002012-03-08T22:12:56.086-06:00Of course KANSAS is saying it's all about Ped...Of course KANSAS is saying it's all about Pedophiles.<br />Why wouldn't they.<br />BILLY BOO 222 brought that on himself along with <br />RED _KILLER and the same with RED_ RIDDER_ 666.<br />Throw into the " COULDREN" ,ROOTY 009, MASTESPANKER -69, people SITTUP and take notice with NIESSIT!<br />Add SKINDEPO- KENCO- STONCO- YPECO- ECOMPPO- USTECO, wtf you think happens?<br />You get a movie called: " Kansas Kings".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-81866411368999979712012-03-08T20:08:39.201-06:002012-03-08T20:08:39.201-06:00Well.

He is so lucky to have parents and grandparents that understand not everything is solved by pill or a belt. Are you writing this down? Lol.

I'd never heard of before but what I read sounds promising. Do you know about them?<br /><br />Wow, Kailyn, you started out teaching middle school! Glad that experience was helpful for you. It made me more understanding when I had various sp ed students in class.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718724697267800263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-37720182438737037162012-03-07T18:39:57.559-06:002012-03-07T18:39:57.559-06:00Glad to hear you had a good meeting.

And yes, I was one of the two teachers who had one of the students in my core classes. Made me a better teacher since the accommodations I had to make for him worked with so many other students.Kailynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929638120561092330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147733538257149903.post-90819487454932760112012-03-07T16:30:27.569-06:002012-03-07T16:30:27.569-06:00PS - glad you had a good meeting.

(Got him away from the very bad situation in his elementary school). They added us to a class for AS kids. We stayed for the first lesson, a social lesson, of the morning. The social lessons were very specific and the kids participated. Really interesting to see their thoughts and reactions. We spent the rest of our morning in a conference room off the office and slowly added in a math and social studies class.<br /><br />I know they have an adjustment week before school begins for other fragile kids. Kids get the additional time to learn the building, meet teachers, figure out the cafeteria, the gym and other specialized classrooms. <br /><br />My friend works in a similar classroom where the kids can come and go attempting to try general ed. Problem there is they have AS kids mixed up with kids who are on a hair trigger and occasionally violent. <br /><br />I found this in general sped too. Dyslexic GB in class with kids who had behavioral and anger management problems. I removed him from the program for that year.<br /><br />I have strong opinions about this - can you tell??the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.com
