A question was: "What are some of the challenges you encounter on the job?"
The answer was: "Dealing with traumatized kids is a challenge."

The teachers in our BC Public school system are also dealing with a lot of the trauma these children have been through.
Both classroom and specialist teachers must do their best to understand these traumatized kids and teach them new skills and an new language.
My daughter is a specialist teacher who does this work and it is very complex work when 1/3 of her school is now Syrian Refugee children !
Also the other children in the class are also interacting with and navigating new relationships with these Syrian children whose lives have been very different from their own.

It would be interesting to see an article in the Globe where the teachers and Canadian children are interviewed about how this new experience of having so many new Refugee children in their school has impacted the rest of them.
