such a great story

That explains a lot

    The return  of   ms A    will be  in this  post.


    Some things I learned  about Wisconsin  while in her class
   All you need is Cheese 
    Badgers are  cool
      Cross country skiing   is  fun  way to  enjoy  the  snow in Wisconsin




   MS  A  was a great teacher.  She  was a  teacher  who  got  me and  was  willing to  help me.  She along with  Mr T  will  go down as the best  inclusive teachers  at my  high school. ( Or  in  ms.A  case   during the  year  I had her)  Since  having ms  A  I  have  always  thought since  having  her  four  years a go   that  Wisconsin had the  nicest people in America   and   after  four   years  of  waiting  I have   some  evidence to  support  my hypothesis.
    Here is the  evidence


   Now  if    could  make     my town   like  Madison in terms of   public  education

Tell a story Tuesday

 I am  going to try  and start  something     blog  world  and  i need your  help. I am going to  try and   recommend  books on the disability  experience.   If you  have any   good  books  in this  category  leave a comment  and who  knows   your  recommendation may lead to  a  post on that book   now  for my  first book  Accidents of  Nature.

 Accidents of  Nature   is  such a great   book  it  is about   a  teenager  with  CP who  goes  to a camp  for    all  kinds of  kids   with disabilities.  Set in  the  summer  of 1970  it     talks  about    stereotypes that    the disabled community  has to  face.  The  characters  are   well  written and  their are a lot  of things to think about  after  you  put the  book  down.      This  is  by  far  one of the  best books on disabilities  I have ever  read

Happy Anaveristy ADA

Here is how my area celebrated . I did not attend because I was at school and was not told what the significance of yesterday was . Ironic because it is all special needs classes or well. here is the link http://www.smdailyjournal.com/index.php

Thank you George Bush Senior for signing the The ADA . As we say goodbye to this critical landmark in American History remember that we still have a long way to go to ensuring that people with disabilities are involved in all aspects of society.
