[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 335953, member: 1233"] Do you have books by Bill Martin Jr? He is one of the authors of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. His books are poetry but they help you FEEL what he is talking about. There is one about a ride on a merry go round that is incredible. She shows incredible talent, it just seems to be locked in behind the other problems. It is slow but she is starting to find a way to let some of it sneak out in things like this poem. Not everyone has gifts that can be nurtured in a school classroom. No matter how hard they try, some people have gifts that just do not show up in school. There are so many ways to be gifted that do not include school skills. Not every person is gifted in the ways schools define it. Sadly our schools have forgotten that and kids come out handicapped because they have been taught they are not good enough if school is not a good fit for their gifts. Give K a big hug for me and tell her that he poem is beautiful and she is an amazing young woman. [/QUOTE]
