For years I was a Home Tutor for kids with physical things or mental problems who were terminated or unable to attend school for a variety of reasons (none of them happy reasons) I got the rep. as the go to teacher for "special" students and never lacked work. ALL my students benefited from having a daily visit and instruction and some of my best memories came from this experience. Despite some behaviorally challenged (means awful behavior) students, never had any problems 1 on 1. And saw many positive outcomes. I got 2 special kids mainstreamed back into regular school. Sadly I saw a 5 year old die from his medical condition. His Mom and I continued to meet for breakfast after his death. I'm not as smart or consistent as a computer, but sometimes another person works best.
