Way back when I worked with some special needs kids in high school. I remember them as being higher functioning kids. It was both enjoyable and tiring. I think all teachers are pretty awesome but the ones that work with these kids really rank up there. Thanks for that memory, Bud!

Thank You for this insight. I have a friend that is a special needs HELPER, and the amount of patience and calmness that is required from these special teachers is amazing. The story makes me thankful there are people that will do this special task. Keep writing I could read stories like these all day. Blessings to you Wes.

Wonderful! I’m not a teacher, but through your story I could imagine being in this classroom. Please keep on writing.

Been there/done that. Working with special needs kids is a daily challenge. These teachers are the heroes. I only had them for art class. You do what you can. Sometimes, with enough repetition, there are small miracles. Great observations, great short story! Keep writing!!!

Nice story. Bet it’s just one of thousands if you spend any more time in the class. Coming from our special ed background we can really relate.

This story touches my heart. Anyone who has worked in a elementary school environment must certainly be able to relate to this story. There should be a special place in heaven for teachers who work with children with challenges! Great short story!!!!!
