    Diane -

    Yes - time to rewrite the book about Spot and Jane - they were painfullly
    boring.
    I too was a late reader and was made to sit on the bad bench for tutoring
    from one
    of the teachers . The "bad bench" was outside the principals office and used
    for
    those students who couldn;'t behave. they had to sit there as punishment. It
    wasn';t
    the "bad bench" when I was being tutored in reading but how did I know the
    differenc
    = I was bad because I couldn;t read - now in addition to being scared to
    read (think
    that was my main problem = two older sisters that did everything right) I was
    now
    totally ashamed because I was on the bad bench!!! How can educators be so
    Stupid. I already posted about art experiences - just had to vent with
    Diane about
    "spot and jane and reading". Roberta
