Film: "F.A.T. City"

Paper Summary:

This paper relates that, in the video "F.A.T. City", Rick Lavoie shows a group of participants how it can feel to have a learning disability and to be treated as if everything should be easy for them when, in fact, it is not. The paper then describes an effective teaching strategy talked about in the video as well as Lavoie's discussion on the concept of fairness. The author concludes that when she has her own classroom she will implement many techniques suggested by Lavoie and other professionals.

From the Paper:

"When working with children with disabilities, especially in a general education classroom setting, fairness means that everyone gets what he or she needs. So, when I am a teacher and need to modify or adjust some curriculum to meet the needs of a child with a disability and am met with opposition claiming that it is unfair, I will simply take the time to explain this truth."
