Every child is gifted, they just unwrap their packages at different times.

I imagine that special education teachers especially identify with this quote; but I feel that it speaks to everyone in education. Although all children develop in a systematic way, they do not all progress through their development at the same speed. If we keep that in mind, and take this quote to heart, we can help the children in our classes reach their full potential.
Hi Anita,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your quote and your views. I couldn't agree with you more. I believe that every child is gifted. As educators or parents, our job is to assist our children to figure out and develop their gifts. As well, to have the children to enjoy and appreciate their own gifts.
Anita,
ReplyDeleteI totally love this quote. I do agree that not all children learn as fast as others or at the same level or speed so we as teachers should remember than when a child is not catching on to a particular subject as we expected them to. Teachers should be patient and give the child the extra help or push that they may need to be successful.
