And was impressed with your understanding and approach to it...very good explanation of your take on the subject.
I have interest in that because I was one of those slow kids myself...and over the years I have learned that it had nothing to do with intelligence...but everything to do with how we learn.
And I wanted to run this story by you anyway....I had a long time girlfriend that taught second grade...and she was really good at teaching slow kids...and the school was more than willing to dump them on her...but you know how kids make their D's and B's backward...she had a trick she used ...she would draw the d on their back as they wrote it...and it worked....her theory was that she taught them through the sense of feel.
