I've got a chance to bond with my students a while ago. Everyone is having a good time, except for my little boy who is diagnosed having IDD. I asked him what's wrong, he look at me while a tear fell down from his eyes and said "teacher do I am different from others? Am I not normal?"
Those words sent me out from my being. My heart skips a beat and drown me in my daily cup of tea. He was bullied by his playmate at home.

This child is not supposed to experience this kind of humiliation if people have full knowledge about them. As a SPED teacher let me do my social obligation to promulgate the words that will awake all of you from reality that they exist and they are part of the growing community.

Now without further ado, lend me your ears!!
