Special Ed Special Report

Welcome to what I hope will be a repeating feature here at Ye Olde Green Mango Log. Here I will recount some of the seemingly unending humourous encounters I have had with the lovely Special Students at my current place of employment.


Setting: Christian Perspectives/Lifeskills Class, a class of five kids with certain challenges where we learn basic life and social lessons, and some stellar biblical principles as well.

The Players: Enrique the Chino, Green Mango (Teachers);
Textbook Aspergers', The Mule, Daydream Believer, Gollum (Students)

Today's Lesson: Advocacy and the Good Samaritan

Enrique the Chino: What is an advocate?
Daydream Believer: (Excitedly and without irony) A cake! A cake! Someone who makes a cake!

--

Green Mango: What is God trying to say to us in the story of the Good Samaritan?
Daydream Believer: (Excitedly and without irony) Make girls happy!

--

GM: Who do you think needed help in the story of the Good Samaritan?
Gollum: Jesus! God!
GM looks quizically at Gollum
Gollum: (Quietly and with less gusto) Jesus? God...?

--

ETC: In the story, who does Jesus say we should love?
Students: Everyone!
The Mule: Except Hobos.

--

Textbook: People in other religions don't believe in God. Except Jews.
