Regardless of how an
autistic learner is «wired», and how we define learning style, I think we always get through to these
students best when we incorporate topics, materials and methods of presentation and engagement that manage to
hold their attention best.
I am
holding you responsible for the 9 - year - old
student who came to school with hardly any sleep after witnessing his mother administer Narcan to save his father's life, only to then take a three - hour test and I am
holding you responsible for the
autistic child whose parents opted him out of the test but the school counseled him back into... I
hold you responsible for not passing legislation that allows for a public - school TEACHER to serve on the Board of EDUCATION, yet the chair of this Board, Paul Sagan can contribute $ 600,000 to a campaign that sought to charterize, segregate, and create a two - tiered system of privilege using high - stake test scores as the ammunition.»
