[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 181517, member: 1233"] I truly admire those of you who have worked with this age group for your careers. It takes a lot of dedication and caring (and a little bit of craziness, LOL - my dad spent over 35 years teaching this age!) I will be reaching out to some people. The amazing ED teacher that nurtured Wiz through this school retired after Wiz got through. he actually POSTPONED his retirement by a year partly because he knew Wiz needed him. He was a guy I had worked with the first summer I came home from college - selling beer during the night shift at a convenience store! He was an expert with these kids. ALL of them. With his help (and my parents and some teachers) Wiz actually got through and went on to totally regular education classes after 9th grade!!! Wiz will graduate 6 months after turning 17 and will spend another year in the vocational school learning a trade to pay his way through college! Jessica has actually had the same core group of friends since first grade. They do make big changes through now and high school, but so far they are all very supportive and caring with each other. Today we do placement testing. Fingers crossed, she is vervous. Susie [/QUOTE]
