My DS6 and I discussed and he agrees that he does have to process the question first before he can process the answer... he says teachers do tell him, "just do it", "Just try", etc when he is already doing so and that they often try to give him MORE information about how to do it when he is still processing the original information which frustrates him and makes him need longer to answer. I, too, have been guilty of this, thinking his delay is about not knowing how to answer instead of realizing he needs more time, not more information.
I also really like the "Fairness" discussion here:
"Fairness is not about giving everyone the same thing. It's about giving every child what he or she needs."
"The one answer I won't accept is 'I can't do that because it wouldn't be fair to the other children'. It's got nothing to do with the other children."
I am EXCITED about getting this DVD!! And that there are YouTube links that could be easily shared with others.
