This is not only to make us aware of dyslexia but also shows us that a great teacher can bring wonderful talents to the world. Thank you for such a great film
You nailed it. My Thoughts!
I totally agree. I pray that no child or adult feels or is made to feel stupid or different, beacuse of their dyslexia. They can and do reach the highest levels.
I didn't have dyslexia but I had no confidence at all, but all through my school years my teachers encouraged me when they saw my potential. I often think of them, through infants, primary and secondary schools and I thank God for them. I only wish I'd been more able to tell them at the time just how grateful I was! XXX
Whoever has this kind of work and does it with passion will always bring out the best in anyone 💜
As someone who thought he was intellectually challenged until I reached High School, this film hit me like a ton of bricks. Teachers need to be taught that intelligence varies quite a bit. Some children can repeat things verbatim and not have much understanding of the subject matter, while others think more abstractly. This teacher who helped bring out the best in this young boy is a true gem. A teacher who sees her job in a narrow way can really traumatize those kids who are a bit different. I had a teacher who was emotionally abusive when I was second grade. It took me years to heal from that nasty women.
It was hard watching his teacher be so impatient and annoyed with him.She realized how dismissive she was with him when the other teacher presented the boy who was so brilliant. Teachers make a difference, good or bad.
To teach is to touch a life forever. Good teachers don’t leave “bruises” .. they do exist - but I wish there were more of them.
Special children can really flourish with the right kind of teaching! They have talents that we need to look for!
Such a wonderful gentle teacher to have taken her student under her wings teaching
him with patienc, love and compassion. A child can and would soar in the hands and heart of a wonderful gentle guide... his teacher.
She was very Special.
Well said...
My brother was dyslexic. I miss him so much
Hello from Texas, USA!This was an Excellent short!! My husband is dyslexic. Things are still hard for him BUT he has achieved 2 degrees, countless awards, and retired from the Army after 30 years of service! It's interesting because he remembers EVERYTHING he hears and sees... what's crazy is I didn't even know he was dyslexic until his mom told me!! I just thought he needed glasses the way he read road signs or menus!🤣😂🤣😂
God bless the Irish forever! And little Faolan and his sweet accent, with precise articulation! A glorious story!
Só beautiful!!! He taught the teacher tô never give up!
😭😭😭 BEAUTIFUL! What a difference the right teachers make. Even though I had college level reading skills in grade school, my report cards were always less than satisfactory and no one ever bothered to find out why. I was beaten and riduculed by my teachers and hated school so much I never continued on past what was required. Kudos to those special souls who can literally change the trajectory of a child's life! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent film. So often children with talent are overlooked because teachers won't take the time to listen or help.
Loved this! As a parent of an Autistic child, I appreciate this showing that "special" children are very smart too!
Wow what a beautiful short film. A pure gem and the young actor is perfect in the role. BRAVO !!,
Love this film! I was just like him at his age, but was held back a grade and didn't have a wonderful teacher to help me. ❤
This is Strong movie making.
So important.
The most important actually.
This is an awesome film❤️
So well done, story on the point with this brilliant young mate performing a stunning personality.
If every school just had those opportunities at least...
Diversity at it's most magnificent!💫
Every now and then I watch this again. My brother had/has dyslexia, probably because lack of oxygene during birth. We're Dutch and now, with 57 he even reads english books. But still when it is written ship, he might say boat, because his mind works different then mine. ❤
Beautifully done ..I did not find out until years later I felt stupid and just used to draw all over my books .
as a "special child" that went to regular school, feeling stupid , facing verbal abuse: this hit me damn hard ..., to the fellows reading, Never lose hope❤
p.s. it's going to be hard, and will test your patience......
I am 22y.o. still have some difficulty in reading ...
Read the Bible, kid. It will change your life for the best. We have a loving God, only that we have to seek Him.
John 8:32 - “...and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”
@@RauBogdan She ought to have the *King James Version* please!
@@olofsown5488 Agree.
That's ME!
Thank you for revieling Dyslexia in such an accessable way.
There are really very good teachers all around the world who love their jobs and love the children , I want to thank them all🙏❤️ I always love and respect my teachers 🙏🥰🙋♀️❤️
one of the best short films I've ever watched!
Heart-warming short movie ❤
I really love that film,which is about the potential and unique gift everyone is carrying....it only needs to be awakened🙏❤
Thank you for this film🙏loads of love to all from Scotland🌈🐬Gabriele 🐉
Really well done film with a wonderful message! 👍❤️
Remarkable and very touching!
A beautiful inspiring film. When İ was at primary school İ witnessed my best friend being put in special class for those who were deemed stupid. She learned later that she was dyslexic. İt was not just that though it seemed any child that didn't fit in exactly to what was chosen to be the norm was thought of as being stupid. Left handed children, ny kind of speech impediment, wearing glasses. Very narrow minded. However, now, we still hide it by giving almost anything an acronym where it is safely labeled and then stored away.
Kept my tears from flowing.
What a great message Eamonn! Well done everyone. I found this film as it has been suggesting our film Absence the Heart and giving us hundreds of views. We all have different abilities and this film shows that.
It's great to have films like this suggest ours!!!
I have 2 girls with learning disabilities... This hits so close...
Congratulations! Good work 👍
Heart touching short film salute to the teacher who perseveres and stood beside the little angel she helps a lot to bring the best out of that cute little boy. ❤😢💕
Brings back such happy memories use somebody is severely dyslexic brilliant film
I love this!! Bravo!! Great work!!
moving :) thanks for sharing!
Dyslexia is part of me I wish there was someone like that person to help and guide me and show me it was okay...and it will not define you but make you an over comer and suceed ......I'm in my say golden years now and that video touched me deeply as I recalled my challenges....thank you....if you have Dyslexia is can eventually be a gift!
Lindo! Tema essencial para todos, tratado com muito cuidado, com muita delicadeza! Amei!
Common core will never allow this flexibility in learning
One teacher can make a world of difference! The little boy was so darling!
My artistic daughter learned her phonics before kindergarten. But she needed to relearn it before First grade. She got by in school until forth grade when she could no longer memorize words by their shape as the words were more syllables. The school never seemed to notice a problem. I had her tested and she came up dyslexic. She wanted me to homeschool for Jr high. I found a program for teaching the sounds with pictures and rhymes and taught all the phonics rules with new words. She became a good reader after that and was top of her writing class as a Freshman in high school. She graduated in Art from a university with high honors.
Loved it so much
Thank you, Ma'am and Sir. God bless.
I loved being a teacher, there are so many ways for intelligence and creativity to express themselves.
Well done! I've grown up with dyslexia and didn't know until later in my education. My youngest daughter has dyslexia and thankfully we've had good teachers that are willing to work with her just as this "learning support" teacher. Wonderful way of showing what I felt growing up.
Beautiful !!
I knew my sister had imagination, was at funny and very creative, I also knew she struggled in school. Being born in the 60'sare teachers/classrooms were not set up for this challenge. Bread my sister an article from a magazine n my teenage years, and we diagnosed her .....sI cried for my sister
Sweet. It drove me to tears!
That was incredible. It brought tears to my eyes. Well done!
This is really beautifully explained
Thank you very much ..
Keep creating good Things
Wonderful 😊
Great Teachers are such a Treasure........................................................peace
That was lovely.
Wonderful!
Much gratitude!🌎🌏🔍👀🤔
Wow, just amazing
Such a nice movie ❤️
Beautiful movie
Thank you ❤
You have something a lot of other kids don't so simple yet effective dialogue
Great story! I see that one of the actors is Claire Blennerhassett. I'm related to the Blennerhassetts of Ireland.
Brilliant well done 👍
beautifully shot, captures the issues very accurately, nice acting.
Must say, that kid totally stole my heart.
Dyslexia is highly mis- defined. My generation knew nothing about learning disabilities.
Audio dyslexia:
Many of us have a harder time with oral processing. Examples are if someone begins speaking to us before our attention is focused, we hear something ridulous, often funny. Or learning a foreign language... we can easily read and write and speak it but cant understand and remember what we hv heard. We often use visual clues to help us. Ive lived in 5 different countries and retained almost nothing of the language.
Yet despite being slow to read, once I did, I obtained straight A's from grammer thru high school.
And with ADD in addition to dyslexia, learning certain things are a nightmare for me. Yet i easily perceive and sense things that few others do. My emotional intelligence is highly developed. And Im a very good writer.
So, you see, dyslexics have great gifts. Creativity comes naturally which makes us artistic in many forms if expression. And possess insatiable curiousity about the world, near and far.
I grew up thinking I was slow and stupid.
Yet now ppl often compliment me as highly intelligent.
All in all, for me the gifts outweigh the 'curses'. 👍🏽
Thank you for your wonderful examples of what the differences can be. I always thought it was just letters interpreted backward or scrambled. Never was aware of what you expressed. Thanks much!
Yes! Anything is popsicle!
THANK YOU!
"Did you ever struggle as a kid with dyslexia?" "That's a good question." Is it?? The answer is obviously YES.
Amazing teacher
😭😭😭I am crying !!!
I'm dyslexic and Irish. This was so amazing
Beautiful
dys and proud !!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Brilliant film! 🎥👏 Keep creating amazing content! 🌟 What was your favorite scene to shoot?
Moving!
❤️ thanks ❤️
Great movie.
Great little film
How cool is that young actor, Faolan Barry?! Great job.
That school teacher really pissed me aff!
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I'm pretty sure I had a childhood learning disorder of some sort that was never diagnosed. But the teachers beat the shit out of me.
I'm an over achiever and have had a massive life, including university degrees. So, fk them all!
Great film, important message. 👏
Brilliant
Great skill recognizing
Teachers make a huge difference if they are patient and don't dismissive children....it is sad that that we have more impatient and unkind teachers.
Awesome
I was able to hear right up to the end when the ear-blasting bass kicked in and now, welp, now I'm deaf.
Very good 👍👌👌😊 I am with you
😂 heartwearming!
