Special Needs, Success, and Empty Spoon

Do you know the value of "a day"? Yes and no, we are all so different, with different lifestyles, how can we know in true measure what someone else's day is like, for many each day is a month, and yet they put one foot in front of the other and make it through, many are special needs people, their required care might make their days harder than yours. Special Needs encompasses so much anymore, years ago it could have been rubella victims, someone born with a heart defect, someone else who had a muscular problem, someone who had polio as a child, and that was plenty in category to try to help make progress, the end result to teach them to be self sufficient, to find things they would enjoy doing that worked well for their bodies and health conditions. Now special needs encompasses many different types of children damaged one way or another by drugs their mothers took while pregnant, vaccinations they were given to help ward off worse diseases, chemical unbalances within the brain which depleted a need component to keep them adjusted and fined tuned as a people machine, as a logical machine. Now put them into classrooms, shared classrooms. Over crowded classrooms, the one not understanding the other, neither compatible as all of their individual needs are so different. First lesson, maybe one end can feed the other spiritually, but it must be done with finesse or else the lesson will be lost on half, contempted by half. Or at best you might reach through to a few, is success a few within a classroom? Or do we need a better system? Is there a better system? Years ago there was a book and movie called " The Empty Spoon", it was excellent, teaching and when and what is a success. The moral of my story is success is not measured by volumes, it is measured by individual pages that make up the chapters of a teachers life.
