Chapter 9 Reflection

I liked how this chapter showed both sides of exceptionality. When you think of exceptionality as it relates to students, you think of the super smart kids, or children who excell in certain categories of school, like Selena in the case studies. The thing I had never thought about before is that exceptionality goes the other way as well. Like students with behavioral issues, who, without special attention, can greatly disrupt a classroom. I'm sure that everyone has been in a class with student that needs special attention, and witnessed how much the equallibrium of the room can be disrupted if that student is not tended to.
