No teacher wants to be the cause of pupil withdrawal. Most teachers want to motivate pupils, to excite them, to keep them involved. Yet, pupils do withdraw--frequently, and in large numbers. A teacher can become more observant and more sensitive. One can learn to recognize the specific behaviors that signal pupil withdrawal, then look for the causes of that withdrawal. Where the teacher is the cause, he can control it. By learning to control one's own behavior, the teacher can begin to reduce pupil withdrawal.

Each has lived within a body he didn't accept; each has tried to adapt to social expectations he couldn't fulfil; and each has experienced devas tating personal pain that could not be obscured by denial.
