Special Needs

During my teaching practicum back in September  , I had a wonderful experience in the institutions i was in for, a period of 4 months .The students were really nice and really interesting in the teaching topics and materials.Most of the students loved  to work fast, and were well adapted.

Their favorite part was when I used to bring teaching resources for them to create and apply their own  knowledge working in groups , pasting, painting, putting their own thoughts in to a project creation.

I have to mention that there was pupil called Denis , he was really shy and had this particular way of talking . I remember that day clearly.My mentor teacher of the wrote a practice on the whiteboard for the students, to write it down on their notebooks ,and make the exercise,while everybody finished to copy and make the exercise, Denis was staring to write the first line of the exercise ,at that moment he called my mentor teacher and asked her :Teacher, do you have an eraser ?  and she replied , Why you haven't finish to copy what I said?(with a rude tone of voice), he replied, because I'm really tired!she answered again. DENIS! everybody is tired, I'm tire more than you think , he just listened and continued to write . While he was trying to write , she started saying to him , Denis! you need to hurry up , you see ! everybody already finished and your not even done ? (keeping her sarcastic way of speaking ) because she was "loosing time" to go the teachers room to talk with her collegous  about her wedding dress already chosen, for her wedding on December  . Denise  looked frustrated , and depressed , I could see it on his face . 

She told me , look he is a kid that I guess he has a difficulty , but  he is lazy and does not want to  do what I say  and he is always behind on everything . 

I went to his desktop and I he said to me, sorry teacher, I'm trying to write as fast as I can , I told him do not worry ! take your time , you can do it. He looked at me and  screamed with his eyes....
