    morgankolis wrote a new blog post: What is Your Child’s Special Education Teacher Reading This Summer? 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Your child’s special education teacher could be awesome.  She could be a good communicator, an avid blogger, and a great instructor.  He could be intelligent, kind, and caring.

    morgankolis commented on the blog post I’m NOT Your Enemy: Secrets from Your Child’s Special Education Teacher 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Hi Cindy, I can certainly understand this. Thanks for mentioning this- Yes! Teachers are PEOPLE. It’s true. We go through hard times just like everyone.
