About Stephen... and Fresh Starts
By: Brenda Dyck
This article is from the teacher's perspective . SHe has been working with an ADHD student and requested to continue working with him in the upcoming school year. Three important things I learned from this article are:
1. Teachers can give students fresh starts and new hope.
2. Your reputation (even as a student) precedes you: Negative information about your past experiences does follow you.
3. You can be the difference in one student's life/education/academic career.
However, the most important thing I learned was: She believed she had made learning breakthroughs with Stephen that she wanted to continue to nurture and stated: Langston Hughes so astutely observed: "When people care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul."
