Reply #9: Guess I'm just remembering when I was a teacher [View All]

One year I found out my kids were teasing the special needs kids on the playground. I herded the entire class back inside, and then laid it on the line for them--how destructive teasing is, how those kids were born the way they were, that they would love to be "normal", etc. etc. I had the kids in tears before I was done. The next recess they went by and started playing with the kids, and kept befriending them the rest of the year. This was back in the late 80s. Sorry, but if I could do that then, teachers could do it now.
