I couldn't agree more with your philosophy! Time is a very valuable tool in education, unfortunately it is also a comodity. I believe that with time, all teachers can realize what works and what doesn't work with all students. Even the ones that have a harder time comprehending. There has to be something that can get through to them. It is also important for the communication between teachers, if a different teacher steps in and takes over, the previous teacher needs to take good notes and be able to update the new teacher on the child's status. As you said about parents giving up, if we don't have any hope for the child, then all is lost. We have to continue trying different things, show the child that we haven't given up on them and keep improving the child's knowledge and understanding.

Hey! I wish more teachers would see themselves as a driving force in a childs life and not just a person with one purpose. Thats awesome you think positive reinforcement is a crown success when it comes to getting through to children. Your job is hard but rewarding!! :)   Melbell (talk) 00:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Since you are the other Amy Baker I thought I would come and read and talk on your page. I agree completely with your teaching philosophy. I think that what you do at the learning center is a wonderful thing to do. I worked over the summer at the elementary school summer school program and in the area teaching kindergarten. Where I live in there are a lot of immigrants and the students came to school hardly knowing any English. I got to work with the students who had severe problems with paying attention one and one and just seeing their progress over the couple of weeks was the most amazing thing in the world to me. If I could do that for the rest of my life I would be so happy. Abake023 (talk) 22:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
