A quick question for you...
What's more useful when you're teaching "troubled" disabled kids:
(a) a chainmail glove?
(b) a rack of test tubes?
Admit it, you thought (a), didn't you? Well, you're not alone. As our wildly interesting guest Vanessa De Kauwe told us here, sometimes a little medieval armour does feature in a disability teacher's toolkit. IKR!?
But it turns out maybe chainmail isn't necessarily the most useful tool (shocking, no?).
You see, Ness has about 400 years experience teaching disabled kids, and a few years back, she noticed something. She noticed that the kids she taught had something in common: they all found observation and logical thinking hard.
"Hmmm", she thought, "now what subject has observation and logical thinking at its core...?"
But look we've already said too much - point your hearing trumpets this way for our excellent beer with Ness.
Hot regards,
Rod'n'Will
