Thanks Ali, you talk such sense...I'm just a worrier. I may have felt impotent on Thursday but I sure as hell wont be next week
I was just shocked by the avarice that my class displayed even after the pre-teaching. Most children know what the social ettiquette is and what the Adult wants to hear...Even my last years class with their global delay's, behaviour and moderate learning difficulties were able to discuss Christmas and the meaning behind it.
Information technology is moving at such a rate that it will soon be instantaneous, Our children have to cram in so much information at such an early age that they are bound to find it difficult to make sense of it all without the correct previous experience.
I'm here to make a difference. I just need to rethink my Christmas curriculum so that the content is more interpersonal and social heavy. I will make a difference if it kills me. It's my job!
