During music & movement class, we taught the kids a dance which requires them to move their hands up & down repeatedly.
Teacher: Up, down, up, down, up…. So where are your hands now?
Student (very excitedly held out his hand): My hands are here!
Teacher: I mean up or down…
Student: Ohhh. *blush*

“I want to prove that special needs pupils can be as outstanding as any mainstream pupil. For Singapore (or even in school), we can only truly be united if people in all sectors are included in making important decisions.
The pledge will not just preach about ‘regardless of race or religion’, but also pupils of special needs or disabilities.”
Elliot Chia, Pathlight Secondary School Student
