Kia's Reflecton to Chapter 20 - How to Help Children With Special Problems of Potential
Up until now, I would have been a very praising kind of teacher. I did not realize the damage it could do on a child. I will definately be changing my ways now. I also did not realize that those, who we think write well, have problems in writing. I see what Graves is saying when he kind of desribes some of the student writer's as, in my own words, "robots." They have been told "this" is the way you are to form all of your writings, and so they do....losing their voice in the process.
I want to hear the voices of my students, so I am left with the same question I always have....How do you help those who do not write or speak....they just give you a blank look?
I hope there will be a chapter on this somewhere.
