...so many of my kids have trouble processing information.

It's well known many of the old houses they are crammed into have lead, and of course there is the whole toys-from-China issue. One of my first graders kept whacking himself in the head last year and his teacher said that is a sign of it. And processing directions, I mean, forget it, even my fifth graders can't. Or think they can't. Or aren't paying attention enough to get it. It's something I have to work very hard on in my lessons--making directions clear to them. It's not like dealing with Yvette--as her Hebrew tutor, Mrs. E says, she just "gets it" right away because she's so bright. (She only doesn't get it when she's trying to wiggle out of something).
