This happened about 4 years ago. A girl in
class 7 used to run off from school to her house which was four buildings away
screaming. This happened especially during exams.
The other days were not very different. The
teachers never liked her. They would tease her saying that she could speak
anything under the sun except academics.
Every evening was an ordeal as she could not
finish her homework and was beaten up by her mother.
One fine day she thought her hardship would
end as there was a special person who came into her life. A special educator
intervened and asked the management to read out the questions to her and she
could take the tests orally. The management agreed upon it halfheartedly, but
the teachers continued to torture her and was treated as if she was an alien.
It was a relief for her one day when the
parents decided to take her out of the school. She was enrolled in a learning
centre which catered to children with learning difficulties. There were only 4
students. How Anne Sullivan taught Helen Keller to speak, she was taught to
read and write exploiting her modalities of learning.
Can you believe that this girl was able to
get an 80% in her 10th board NIOS?
It happened because she was given the
accommodation of scribe who would read the question paper and write for her
which she said orally.
Do not underestimate her as she was given a
scribe. The scribe was given to her on the spot and she did not know the scribe
previously and the scribe was 2 years younger to her.
Now she is in 12th and is going to
appear for her 12th NIOS board.
Isn’t her work incredible?
