[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 421886, member: 6546"] My son's teacher had a great technique: Because she was so good with them, she had a lot of kids in her class with IEPs that required special accomodations for this or that. And as might be expected, the kids [I]without[/I] IEPs would often complain that this kid or that was getting special treatment and "It's not fair!" The teacher had a medical issue that required leg braces. Whenever she heard that complaint about [I]it's not fair[/I] - she would point to her brace and say "Well, should everyone get to wear a leg brace just cause I have one?" The student would be forced to think about that for a minute...and then the teacher would explain "This is what [I][B]I[/B][/I] need - it is not the same as what [B][I]you[/I][/B] need. The things that you can do are not the same things that I can do. It is not about 'fair' - it is about helping those that need help...and we all need help with different things." [/QUOTE]
