I can tell that it would be an exciting and enriching place to be. As I read your blog, I could feel a sense of peace. To know that you would find the gift in each student and then nurture that gift is truly amazing. This is my favorite quote from you, "In my opinion, every child is above average in one or more areas of intelligence." What an inspiration to all of us. Thank you.

Although I've heard it thrown around a few times at my school, it is by no means encouraged. In fact, my grade level in particular is pressured to become more uniform in our assessments. But my kids are not exactly like the kids next door or down the hall. It's so frustrating! I think that your students are very lucky to have you in their corner helping them to discover their areas of intelligence. It sounds like you are doing an amazing job! Keep up the great work!
