“I had one teacher who responded differently. Instead of trying to make me go back in her room, she asked me what was wrong. She listened to me. She compromised with me and found ways to help me. Taking just a few minutes to ask me what was wrong and help me problem solve made a huge difference. I felt understood.” — Theresa
