    Everyone does not get the same it means everyone gets what he or she needs.
    Paragraph Reflection:
    I saw clips of this movie a long time ago, and at the time I wanted to see the whole
    movie. I really liked this movie it opened my eyes to see what students with a learning disability
    really goes through. Growing up there was a student in my class who had a learning disability (at
    the time I didnt know), and every time the teacher would call on him to read my reaction was
    always an ugh or why call on him he cant read. Every time he would get a word wrong the
    whole class would just laugh at him, and the teacher never did anything about it; she would just
    let us laugh at this kid. This movie made me look back on my childhood and think about the
    things that my teachers did and handled situations. Especially with the look harder I heard that
    a lot growing up. I have used that on my kiddos at work! I never even thought about what that
    even means, and I have used the rhetorical questions on them (I have one kid that ALWAYS
    answers them). There is a lot of things that I do now that I didnt even realize I do, until I saw
    this video. Real big eye opener this video was.
