i was working with native american students, i am from the midwest and i moved out here 6 years ago. prior to that, however, i was, the counseling department for a native american therapeutic school. we had 260 students grades 4 through 8. 75 percent were on special education ie p's. 90 percent were already enrolled in the juvenile system and in the drug and alcohol programs. later on, i would show up and be a counselor at the betty ford center with attorneys and other professionals. the one commonality that the children at therapeutic school and the professionals at the betty ford center had in common was no clue about feelings and how to be aware of their feelings and how to address them. what mr. dierck has done is one of the things that we as educators, it's the one thing we have missed. it's the absolutely one thing we missed to teach our children to recognize and be aware of their own feelings and work with children with similar feelings. we can teach them all the math. we don't have clue one to teach them how to feel and express it appropriately. it's the same thing i start wi
