Activity 3.
1. What are the common things you have noticed among learners with learning disabilities?
I noticed that once the students and the teachers change their perspective about having
Peter in their class not only did their attitude toward him but Peters outburst became
frequent. Instead of being afraid of him they learned to help and become patient with
Peter. I noticed having a student with disability wasn't look upon as shameful but
inspiration to everyone involved. The students were to learn life lessons as well as
learning academically by communicating with Peter.
2. Do you have any experience dealing with learning disabilities? How would you handle it?
No
3. What are the important lessons you have derived from watching the movie? The
important lesson that I derived from watching a movie entiled (Educating Peter 1992) is
that being a teacher is not easy to handle that can of student but if I see my student like
Peter I'll be patient to teach him. As a video shows her students in a group and
whenever Peter needs she allows his classmates to assist him.
4. Does the movie impacts your life as a learner / a person? Yes, the movie impacts me as
a life as a learner to become a better person. So, each person had to change their
perpective of Peter. They had to learn how to accept him and understand what expected
out of him, while also accepting him inside the classroom.
