We had our first meeting last week of a new
group facilitated by myself and our assistant principal and what
happened next exceeded my wildest expectations. Kids were talking to
each other about their behaviors and explaining to staff
that " my mind gets stuck and that's why I'm having a hard time
listening to you right now". I couldn't believe the wonderful things
that I was hearing! One young man, did an impromptu training of his own
in front of the entire class. He explained the syndrome
in the way that he understands it and even wrote notes on the board. It
goes to show that when we raise our expectations, more often than not,
they step up to meet them. It is an honor to be a part of "What is
PWS?". Stay tuned for more updates about this
amazing group.
