Lynne’s Teaching
Lynne’s friend Ellen is a speech pathologist who worked with special education students. Ellen saw Lynne engage with kids on a playground. “She had an incredible knack for connecting with kids. Open, honesty in her approach, just unwavering for a kid. She had a knack for saying true things, not greater than it is and not less than it is.”
Ellen thought to herself: “Why don’t we have her as a teacher with us?”
Years later Ellen helped Lynne’s students in special education. “She was a great experience for anybody, especially kids with behavior challenges. She was drawn to them, worked with them, and made a difference with them. She had a highly unusual authenticity, connected. She didn’t have that hierarchical tone. Consistently with kid after kid she convinced them, ‘We are peers in our humanity.’”
We’re learning from her boys how effective she was beyond what we knew. Pam, it gives me even more respect for my sister.
Lynne has such a big heart
Wonderful…
