[quote=Anonymous]I agree art and music teachers have enormous power over our children's self-concepts. I was chatting at a party with a music teacher and she explained to me how she got into teaching because she loves music so much and wanted to share that gift. And when I asked her what the hardest part was, she said it was dealing with all of the special ed kids who won't sit still for their music lessons. She had no idea I have 2 of those special ed kids. So I did share that my dyslexic daughter is quite musical. I pray she is an anomaly. I don't think that all of the "specials" teachers get much education in classroom management or adapting their lessons to kids with special needs. And that is almost more depressing to me because I think there is so much joy to be found in the arts. I have met a lot of amazing drama teachers but they don't have that in elementary usually.[/quote]
