Hispanic Heritage Month: Roberto Clemente

Quotes From Roberto Clemente |
''Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth.''
"I am convinced that God wanted me to be a baseball player. I was born to play baseball."
"I am more valuable to my team hitting .330 than swinging for home runs."
"I dedicated the hit (his
3,000th) to the Pittsburgh fans and to the people in Puerto Rico and to
one man (Roberto Marin) in particular. The one man who carried me around
for weeks looking for a scout to sign me."
"I felt kind of bashful
(when the fans went crazy). I'm a very quiet, shy person, although you
writers might not believe because I shout sometimes."
"I want to be remembered as a ballplayer who gave all he had to give."
"When I put on my uniform, I feel I am the proudest man on earth."
"Why does everyone talk about the past? All that counts is tomorrow's game."

This quote demonstrates humility; although I do not believe Justice Sotomayor is ordinary. To be on the Supreme Court you must be brilliant and persistent.

"Your Child Doesn’t Belong in My Classroom"
Outstanding illustration (pardon the pun.) |
I am going to quote from a remarkably clear and direct article concerning students in Special Education. Parents and teachers, both, would benefit from giving thought to this analysis of what parents may believe teachers are saying.
"Your Child Doesn’t Belong in My Classroom"
by Doug Goldberg
http://www.specialeducationadvisor.com/your-child-doesnt-belong-in-my-classroom/
Here are Mr. Golgberg's main points.
- "Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because the school will not provide the appropriate aides and supports necessary to educate your child;
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because I am not capable of educating your child;
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because I don’t want to take the time to differentiate my instruction and find the method that your child learns;
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because the District has increased my class size to 45 students and has not provided me with a paraprofessional to help lessen my load;
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because I don’t want to follow his IEP because it takes too much time and energy;
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because the School District refuses to spend money on children with special needs; and
- Your child doesn’t belong in my classroom because I am a bad teacher."
Parents need to empower themselves with knowledge, and if necessary, advocates. The law provides a Free and Appropriate Education for all children. Sadly, there are school sites that want to refuse the appropriate services.
