My fifth grade teacher had a condition that caused her to have seizures.
I remember it being very foreign and new to me. I had no first-hand experience with seizures before. But she just calmly explained what seizures were, what would happen, and what we should do. She designated a few students to call the nurse if she had a seizure and the nurse cared for her after that.
She did have a seizure a few times during the school year, but it didn't affect her ability to effectively teach us. She was one of the best teachers and one of the most positive people I have ever met.
She was a fantastic teacher and friend. Rest in peace, Ms. Osinski.
- themaninthedark 4y agoThank you! It's not something I have really had an opportunity to think about. I've worked with people who have had other kinds of disabilities both physical and mental, the world they have to navigate and challenges they have are, for lack of a better work, astounding. I remember back in school we took turns using a wheel chair for a day to get a vague sense of what it would be like. How you would have to plan your route around the school, getting through doors. Just the difference in perspective in the hallway. For something like seizures, that is harder to think about so I appreciate your reply as opposed to the derision.
