It's been about two weeks since I started my new job working with what a few of you might call the retards. Or maybe you prefer disabled, handicapped or special. At the school we kindly refer to them as a population. As in, "Have you ever worked with this population before?" According to the dictionary, population is general enough...so I guess it works. ...but anyways
I'm diggin' it. I may wipe a few butts, but I'm sure once I get past the gagging it'll be cool.
The kids in my class are mostly non-verbal, or incomprehendible (is that a word). They also don't listen or follow directions. They run away, hit, spit, lick, bang...
Like I was saying... I'm diggin' it. They wear their personalities on their sleeves along with insecurities, compassion, love and anger.... They're just so real. So I may not teach them much, but hey, I'm a selfish son of a bitch.
