please understand teacher

She visited me that morning and asked me about the increasing number of MR students in her computer class. She is our computer teacher, she teaches the MR's to manipulate the computer.

"Ma'am, why do we add another two students in my class? I have already three and that's enough I cannot handle that number of MR students it's difficult" , she said. "Ma'am what shall I do, I cannot say no to parents. Aside from that, our school is the only institution for special children. If we will not accept them, then who will?" I answered her. That was the last conversation that we had, the MR's are still in her class and enjoying the privilege of using the computer units.

If I can only teach all the subjects and competencies that my special children have to learn, I will not bother other teachers. I know it is difficult because even I who has background knowledge on how to handle the special children is still having some difficulties in dealing with them. It might be difficult, yes, but the idea that they are special and that the level of their intelligence are not the same as us, that reality may change ones behavior and accept all the challenges of catering them and giving them the opportunity to learn.

Teacher's responsibility is really unique. If we can perform this effectively and efficiently we can see how lives may change because of us.
I am asking my fellow workers in this field, please be patient, please understand. Let us work hand in hand .
