The workshop is over....after months of planning!

Funny how it takes months to set things up and then it is just gone in a few hours....poof! The speakers were good - strong in their views, sensitive in their approach and clear in the message. The message is the same as SuDatta's common one, so one really can't ask for more.

The skit with different situations was very well done....funny, positive and suggesting the right direction for educators. The LD question kept coming up....sometimes our speakers mentioned it...I guess, people will take more time to get their heads and hearts around that.

I got so much from working on this 'project', if it can be called that. This is more of life's work....for most of us. Learned, matured, learned to delegate and step back....except in registrations, could not get away from logging into the registration email account despite having a cool, efficient and understated person handling it.

Hopefully the ripple effect is wide enough to impact a few children. I know now to be pro-active with my kids' teachers, listen and involve myself more in school, have realistic expectations of children/teachers/schools AND have a life elsewhere......!

G'night!
