I get busy and can't come visit for a couple of weeks and now there's so much to catch up! What a fascinating discussion! And my heart broke for little Mr. A too, particularly because the main cause of his troubles (apart from the "craziness" of his parents) is the fact that he is the child of immigrants. Just that tiny slice of his story reminded me of Maxine Hong Kingston's <i>The Woman Warrior</i> which I taught years ago. It was great to hear chicagomama's voice again after so many months, and her interchange with Jody. It makes me really glad that I'm not sending my son into a school where he might have to face those problems. Well, now I have to go read the most recent posts!
