It is sometimes hard for teachers to appreciate each of their 30 or more
students and to see how very special each of them is in their own way.
They have their little world to deal with and don't always appreciate
what they don't understand. When my son was first leaning his ABCs he
came home with a test paper on which something had been marked wrong. It
had pictures and he was supposed to print the first letter of the name
of the thing. One of them was a one eyed creature and the correct answer
was C for Cyclops. He and written P for Polyphemus. If the teacher was
as bright as he was she might have given him bonus marks.
