Over the years, there have been many books that I’ve read which I have wanted to share with others. Unfortunately, many of the titles, authors, and other identifiable details escape me. Are there any online resources where I can describe what I remember of the books and people can try to help me identify the title?

Any information on good online resources for parents of children with autism would be appreciated. Message boards? Chats? Stuff like that…

I teach in one of the most impoverished parts of the United States. Sometimes it is appalling how similar to a third world country this place is. Unfortunately, the education system is equally as impoverished. I struggle to teach children who are 16 to 18 years old and cannot read and write, let alone add and subtract correctly (I teach high school mathematics). They have been socially promoted over and over again. I have maybe 10 students out of 120 that can read above a third or fourth grade reading level as high school students.
One of my biggest issues is that these children have never been allowed to think. They’ve been taught trick after trick to pass a state test (which they BARELY pass) but they don’t understand what they’re doing. They look constantly for the shortcut around understanding. I am looking for ideas and activities I can use to start to encourage my students to think for themselves instead of depending on me to always give them the answer or the shortcut
