In the fourth grade I had a teacher lets call her Ms. Abilities. She was a teacher that everyone wanted to have and today she now teaches as a advanced teacher for fourth and fifth grade. The year was 2001-2002 and she taught fourth grade. I was in a class with a lot smart kids. That was the year I tuned ten which meant that in Ms. Abilities eyes i was ready to do homework. Oh I tried getting out of this arrangement with her and my parents but in the end I did my English, Science, History homework on my own, math and spelling words were the area I struggled the most so I got help with that, because in Ms. Abilities eyes I was one of the "smart" kids as well. Since fourth grade i have been doing my homework myself since fourth grade and now I am in college. Can you imagine me doing homework with my parents, they could in theory, now i do not think so. Thanks Ms. Abilities for making me do my own homework by myself.

I hope you got excellent marks on your Work Habits, and Ms Abilities recognised what an effort it was to do.
Glad to see that she was stretching you in this way, as she would the other students.
A lot of younger people with disabilities develop self-management through the therapies they actively participate in.
Homework is definitely a valued skill, so the other students respect them (you) for it.
One thing I didn't like about being smart is that other people asked me to do their homework for them.
And I was happy when I saw Amanda Baggs say, "Part of the reason I'm not in college right now is that I can't do my homework, let alone yours."
