About this ebook

This is to all who understand that life is a journey and that to us as parents and educators, we must cooperate with each other when we recognize the defectsbe it physical or behavioralthat plague our children and institutions. This was born out of recognizing that the unease my own child displayed while attending school led me to search for answers wherever they were. I recognized there was a problem, I was concerned, I was inspired by her efforts, and I was encouraged to do something. I took action by attending Teachers College in order to get the hands on experience of teaching and learning so that I could help not only my child but a system that caters to all children. The unease was the root of a problem that stimulated the response that turned into an educational tree journey, thanks to my daughter Karla.
