Every child needs such a teacher! At least ONE! PLEASE! Reduce class numbers and let children have proper relationships with teachers and vive versa. With 30plus kids in one class the single child doesn't even feel SEEN - let alone understood and supported!
I love this man. He's just so amazed about how smart she actually is and how she thinks differently than most others, and all of the others are just like: 'great, now we can't try to fit her into the mold anymore'. It's so wonderful yet sad. We need the new and the different. Yet we hate to nurture the different, because we can't put it on an assembly line like the rest for easy processing.
"He's just so amazed about how smart she actually is and how she thinks differently than most others, and all of the others are just like: 'great, now we can't try to fit her into the mold anymore'." Ah, so that's why they were acting like a bunch of douchebags, instead of getting excited at all the possibilities and/or thanking him for his efforts in uncovering the real state of affairs. People sometimes.... *rolls eyes*
@@Typanoid To clarify, I can perfectly understand their frustration. School is made like a factory assembly line. Take a large group of kids, cram a bunch of info at pre-established levels into them, and than test and package them so they can start to do their own work that you prepared them for. There are too many children in this world to give each the type of education they need to truly exel. Teachers are horribly underplayed, understaffed, and undereducated to deal with people with autism, ADHD, ect. who need extra attention. Teachers like our friend up there are extraordinary, and often people that didn't fit on the assembly line themselves, with energy and empathy and patience above the average human. His excitement for Temple's potential is understandable, but so is the exhaustion and despair over extra work without extra pay for their efforts for the other teachers. This is actually why I think, for neurodivergent people who know what they want to do, mentorships should be a valid form of later education again.
@@DragonLovingGirl6 Thank you so much for providing me with some much needed context. You made me realize I was in the wrong for essentially calling those poor overworked people "jerks". I appreciate the correction and your civil tone. To explain myself, my reaction comes from a lifetime of having been met with angry glares, eye-rolling and general condescening tones without any context or explanation. And very often after having been pushed to the brink of my mental endurance trying to meet poorly defined demands those same people decided to put on me without respecting my feelings or limitations. I eventually learned to respond aggressively to such uncouth behaviours (I do have a right to defend myself thank you very much), but it came at the cost of losing a bit of my more polite side (since that one didn't help most situations any). With that in mind, I doubt it's any wonder that I respond negatively to authority figures being given the correct answer to a problem (impacting a child no less), and acting like the person who figured out the riddle is a huge idiot (as it seems to me). So for what it is worth, I apologize for my own hostile response before.
@@Typanoid I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you. Even if a person is feeling frustrated, they are still responsible for how they act on their emotions. There is a *huge* difference between expressing frustrations in private or with consenting observers (like sympathetic friends), and taking it out on a person who meant no harm. The way they treated you IS in fact 'jerk' behavior, and you have a right to your anger and mistrust of the system. After all, the system has failed you (as it has so many others like us). And since we're in an environment with sympathetic people who have experienced something similar in their lives, you have a right to vent here too.
As an autistic person, that "Can't you?" is something I know all too well. Apparently not everyone can graph in their minds a football teams statistics for the last five years off of the top of their mind. That was definitely a learning curve.
HFA here too. I can do some amazing things when I have my headphones on and can BLOCK out the "social" thoughts and even social demands of some simple things like "cleaning" or "working outside" or "going to walmart" that otherwise would drive me NUTS. absolute meltdown.... but i can build machines that think and move and i am a physical dynamo as long as I can focus and be at peace and hear myself think...
that's awesome...my first tangible "career interest" as a child was electricity and my father was ways very supportive...i quit paying attention in school around 4th grade and have made a good part of my living training engineers. we all have our superpowers if we are allowed to use them!! @@broadwaybrook2319

As an Aspie myself - of mine own sixty years - I just growled at them, in annoyance, frustration and - sadly - familiarity!

The science teacher is the expectation, while the other teachers in the room are the reality 😂

Yeah, same here. And apparently not everyone can identify various flowers by sight and by name like an autistic horticulturist (which I am).

Fascinating on so many levels…..
Praise our Creator most High for creating cattle. GOD alone is GOOD. Do not trust sinners. All sin is temporary.
