Can't wait!

Yay!! A teacher on House!!

Can't wait to hear the Houseisms from this one.

**Grace Like Rain** · 01-23-2009, 07:20 PM

Laura, are you a Special Ed teacher?

The House one liners on this are going to be something else that is for sure

Hughville · 01-23-2009, 07:44 PM

No. Of course, I do have a lot of kids with language difficulties this year. ( I got them because I am good at teaching phonics and speak very clearly and have high test scores--that's what I got told anyway. BS if you ask me!

) But I teach what is referred to as Regular Ed. Special Ed teachers are a rare breed and I have nothing but respect for them. Which means House should come up with some great -isms in this one! I hope Doris Egan wrote it. She does great Houseisms and always has great House/Wilson scenes.
House+Wilson=belly laughs!

Oh that is not BS, I have a feeling that it's all very true

I do to. If it weren't for them I wouldn't be able to read or count, dial a phone.. type.... you name it.

I spent many, many, many hours all though out school with Speical Ed teachers... and I'm very thankful for all tips and tricks which have become so normal to me that I don't remember that they are tricks

See, I would never have guessed that you had trouble with that. I have found that people with LD are extremely intelligent. They just learn differently.

I just hope they let House interact with the patient this time. He hasn't been spending much time with the patients. I miss that and the clinic patients.

That is the best kind of complement

Yep. I'm severly dyslexic.

But I think I manage ok. I mean I have huge typos sometimes or just leave out words all togther, and it takes me forever to reply but I don't think it's that big of a deal that people can't understand me. But 12 years ago, forget it I never could have done it

yes, we need more of that plus at least on clinic scene, that is not to much to ask for

fictitious ways · 01-23-2009, 08:51 PM

I miss the clinic patients too!

Those are always a hoot!

I think you manage more than okay. I am extremely impressed by you!!

And I hope the producers and writers get back to the original premise of House--House solving the puzzle, annoying patients/Cuddy/ducks and bantering with Wilson. That is House at its best. IMHO.
