这位是我的学生，四年级，患有Dyslexia（阅读障碍症）。今晚给他补习时，他把上次数学试卷给我看，并高兴地告诉我他得到76分。我知道了，当然是非常高兴，并答应要送他一份小礼物来奖励他。
76分，对许多家长或学生而言，并不是一个很理想的分数。但是，我相信这76分对我的学生而言是一个很美好的消息，足以让他雀跃万分。我不能说他这次数学试卷的进步是因为我的功劳，但我相信他的确有努力了。我希望他可以维持这个阶段，等到他完全掌握了数学的知识，才慢慢地学习其他更深奥的数学知识。
昨天看了一部有关Dyslexia的印度电影，片名是《Every Child Is Special》。故事大纲如下：
Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi (Darsheel Safary), the story's leading character, is an eight-year-old boy who dislikes school and fails every test or exam. He finds all subjects difficult, and is belittled by his teachers and classmates. But Ishaan's internal world is rich with wonders that he is unable to convey to others, magical lands filled with colour and animated animals. He is an artist whose talent is unrecognised.
Ishaan's father, Nandkishore Awasthi (Vipin Sharma), is a successful executive who expects his children to excel. His mother, housewife Maya Awasthi (Tisca Chopra), is frustrated by her inability to educate her son. Ishaan's elder brother Yohaan (Sachet Engineer) is an exemplary scholar and athlete, which Ishaan is frequently reminded of.
After receiving a particularly poor academic report Ishaan's parents send him to a boarding school. There he sinks into a state of fear and depression despite being befriended by Rajan (Tanay Chheda), physically disabled and one of the top students in his class. Ishaan's situation changes when a new art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan), joins the school's faculty. An instructor at the Tulips School for young children with developmental disabilities, Nikumbh's teaching style is markedly different from that of his strict predecessor, and he quickly observes that Ishaan is unhappy and contributes little to class activities. He reviews Ishaan's work and concludes that his academic shortcomings are indicative of dyslexia. On his day off Nikumbh visits Ishaan's parents and asks if he can see more of their son's work. He is stunned by the sophistication of one of Ishaan's paintings, and tells his parents that Ishaan is a bright child who processes information differently from other children in his class, but Ishaan's father is suspicious that the explanation is simply an excuse for his son's poor performance. Nikumbh demands that he read some Japanese text on a box and berates him when he cannot, giving him a glimpse into Ishaan's experience of school. Nikumbh describes dyslexia to them and explains that it is not a sign of low intelligence. He tells them he can provide extra tutoring that will help Ishaan, highlighting the boy's artistic ability evident in his many paintings and other creative works.
Nikumbh subsequently brings up the topic of dyslexia in class, and offers a list of famous people who are considered dyslexic. As the students are leaving the classroom Nikumbh asks Ishaan to remain behind, and reveals to him that he too experienced the same difficulties with dyslexia. Nikumbh then visits the school's principal and obtains his permission to become Ishaan's tutor. He attempts to improve Ishaan's reading and writing by using remedial techniques developed by dyslexia specialists; Ishaan soon develops an interest in language and mathematics, and his grades improve.
Towards the end of the school year Nikumbh organises an art fair for the staff and students. The competition is judged by artist Lalita Lajmi, who portrays herself in the film. Ishaan, with his strikingly creative style, is declared the winner and Nikumbh, who paints Ishaan's portrait, the runner-up. The principal announces that Nikumbh has been hired as the school's permanent art teacher. When Ishaan's parents meet his teachers on the last day of school they are left speechless by the transformation they see in him. Overcome with emotion, Ishaan's father thanks Nikumbh. As Ishaan is getting into the car to leave with his parents, he turns around and runs toward Nikumbh. The film ends with a freeze frame shot of Nikumbh tossing Ishaan into the air.
听闻许多看过这部戏的朋友到最后都掉眼泪了。故事很感人，同时也说明了一个永远不会改变的事实：一个教师绝对可以改变一个小孩的一生。
实习即将开始了，我希望我可以做好自己的本分，做一个可以改变一个学生一生的老师。
这个世界没有愚蠢的小孩，每一个小孩都是特别的，每一个小孩都不能被忽略。
