"The more that there is exposure, the more that people with intellectual disabilities are living in typical neighborhoods and going to typical schools and working in typical employment settings and hanging out in the community where other people without disabilities experience recreation, the more acceptance there's going to be, relationships" - Dr. Ann Turnbull
" My passion to make sure that all children were taught in environments and ways that they are truly nurtured to their ability to grow and develop to the fullest of their ability"- Louise Derman Sparks
"Its not all about you, sometimes you have to take yourself out of it and your ego and think about the child"- Renatta M. Copper
All of these quotes are so true. I really like the last one by Renatta M. Copper. I tell people every day that if it wasn't for the children; I would not bother coming to work. There is not a monetary figure you can put on watching children transition to respectful, productive citizens. True teachers have the passion of seeing growth in their students.
