Well, my experience with schools nowadays is very, very different from when I was a child. I was just at a school doing a school visit a couple days ago and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The principal and the teachers were so involved with the kids. There was so much heart in that school. You could feel it in the walls and in the floors. There was so much love in that school. And there was also a lot of need in that school, in that community, but everyone came together in that school, and it was really changing the whole community.
And I see that so much nowadays. I think the world is really changing because of the love and the support of teachers and reading specialists and principals and administrators, people really coming together to — for the kids.
I think I have seen a lot more acceptance for kids who don’t quite fit into the regular student role and maybe for kids who have challenges like I did. There seems to be a lot more resources now. So teachers are better prepared to deal with kids who don’t quite fit in. And there seems to be a much better experience all around.
