Same Same, But Different

I have two boys. My older one, Taite, is serious, thorough and assertive. Academically, he has been the consistent achiever with solid grades. Taite graduated HS with honours as a Scholar-Athlete and finished university a year early. My younger one, Josh, is the goofball with the funny antics. He loves to cook and spent weeks experimenting on how to make the perfect onsen egg. Josh’s spelling was inventive all the way through primary, and he didn’t pick up a book of his own accord until middle school. I would often get emails from his teachers sharing their concerns about how he was behind in so many areas. Josh graduated HS with honours and is getting excellent grades with his engineering studies. They have both grown up to be very responsible, independent and caring young men, and I am incredibly proud of them. Bragging rights aside, if two boys from the same family and upbringing can be so different, imagine a class full of children. Nowadays, teachers have to contend with a room of children who not only span the spectrum of learning readiness but also cover an array of diverse cultures, backgrounds, interests and personal experiences.
