A letter I wrote to Mr. Rodney Alexander.

I consider you to be fortunate, sir! I am a bibliophile, and to hear the
older stuff presented, hopefully by a reader with some merit, seems to be
a brilliant thing.

While I am glad that I no longer have to worry so much about Democrats
fiscally, I am highly concerned about education. Most specifically, I am
concerned that special education students will be put in an undeserved
position.

I would love to see more teachers taking an initiative like my old teacher
did. You see, I am something of a special needs student. I may be a highly
intelligent collegiate special needs student, but I am one all the same. I
had a teacher in my second semester whom I developed a slight relationship
with. Later, in the most recent semester, she invited me to speak to a
class in which that was relevant. I told them I was greatly appreciative
of the opportunity, and expressed, among other things, my wish that all
teachers, especially special ed teachers, would be well versed in all
manner of brains outside of the educational context before becoming a
teacher. While I understand that this may be impossible, I believe that
simply more could be done. There should be a non educational way for
people who want to be special ed teachers and special ed people of similar
ages and contexts to mix. If I could, I'd like to see a teacher make
friends with a special needs student in a long term sense for a grade.

Even though I may be simply a pipe dreamer, I thank you for the time.

Sincerely,


Yours Truly
