Tall Boys,
I followed your link and found lots of good articles -
I particularly liked this thought:
Keep in mind that intellectual diversity must be respected. School is a place for learning. The message we give to all children about learning is linked in part to how we treat our most rapid learners. If they are ignored, exploited, damaged, held back in their progress, or teased, the message we gave to all the children is that academic learning doesn't pay for anyone.
I don't remember seeing that very important thought verbalized.
Well Done!
I hope this can be used by all the Advocates for backsliding kids to show the teachers how important it is to take the learning needs of EVERY child seriously.
yippee!
