[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 130286, member: 1967"] dreamer, in my humble opinion, the board as a whole often loses perspective of the big picture. I was simply reminding everyone that most teachers, in fact the vast majority of teachers, work hard every day and get little recognition for the good things that they do. Instead, a few bad apples do things and the newspapers sensationalize what happens which makes the rest of us look bad. A very good friend of mine was recently attacked and hospitalized by one of her Asperger's students. I could have started a thread titled "Special Education student attacks a teacher" but didn't because I knew it would sensationalize the incident and that most Special Education students don't physically attack their teachers. It would have given a wrong impression about Special Education students so I didn't post it although it greatly upset me at the time. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
