There is nothing like the excitement and joy you feel in that dream or the huge sadness you wake up feeling when you realize it was a dream. What I try to remind myself on these days is that the fact that I am dreaming these things for my kids means that I have giant hopes for their futures and know that they are not limited by their different needs and that those dreams remind us how to relate in a very small way to our families that gen. ed teachers don't get to experience. I hope I never lose those dreams, because if I do, it is time for me to retire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
