Imagine you can’t read this. Imagine you are afraid to tell anyone. Imagine thinking it is all your fault. Imagine the only way to tell if a book is right side up is by looking at the pictures. Imagine the only way you can avoid humiliation and get through school is by being a troublemaker. Imagine being expelled over and over and passed along to different schools only to be someone else’s problem. You reach fifth grade but you have yet to read a two syllable word. You can’t spell your name. You are unteachable. Now imagine a teacher who changes everything.
