“Good teachers tend to be empathic, and it’s really important for children with slow processing speed to have teachers who can empathize with their difficulties.”
― Ellen B. Braaten, Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up: Help Your Child Overcome Slow Processing Speed and Succeed in a Fast-Paced World

“Kids with slow processing speed also tend to respond well to teachers who have a good sense of humor. Overly serious teachers can be quite good at motivating certain types of students, but it tends to make these kids more nervous.”
― Ellen B. Braaten, Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up: Help Your Child Overcome Slow Processing Speed and Succeed in a Fast-Paced World

“Teachers with a good sense of humor tend to have a better ability to change tempo when it’s needed. In other words, when plans go awry in the classroom or when it’s obvious the lesson is reaching different kids at different times, these teachers have the ability to change their presentation style or the pace of the instruction.”

“Nice thing about science. It is what it is.”
