agree with Kitty. much help is needed. unfortunately, all not as precocious as her student, but all do have that desire for some attention. I had a kindergartener who would not focus, and sucked his thumb when frustrated. another who withdrew and would not speak or do anything. He looked exhausted and once told me his power had been turned off. it's my hope with repeated visits they can improve, it's happened in another class. it's heartbreaking to realize they have no one at home doing letters and numbers or reading to them. today, there was a call for more help in the newspaper for more people to tutor at Wildwood Elementary with Tutors for Kids. I hope others will join us there. they are great kids who just need some help so they can succeed.
