These are some interesting conversations I had when supporting students with special needs.
Teacher: Write down three things a good citizen does.
I asked my student: What do you think a good citizen does?
My student said: Be a hero.
I said: ok let’s put it down.
He wrote: be a house.
I said: You wrote, “be a house”. What do you mean?
He crossed u and smiled at me: Ok. hero.
I said: Now it is “be a hose”….
He looked, crossed s and puts r: be a hore.
I said: now it is ho-re….. still not hero…
then he put a double arrow under e and o -___-
Teacher (angrily): Some students are not using their brains…
My student laughed, I gestured for him to keep quiet
Student: It is funny miss, miss is saying they are stupid.
I: no miss didn’t say stupid (wanted to stop him from telling others that the teacher actually called students stupid.)
