291:"Well, dyslexia isn't something that goes away. But with help, you can learn to cope with it. Mr. Falker noticed that I was having extreme trouble. Oddly enough, I didn't want any of my teachers to know what kind of trouble I was in. I thought they wouldn't like me anymore. So, when he came to me and said, 'I think you have something that many, many people have, and I'll bet you feel dumb and like there's something wrong with you. I'm here to tell you, you are brilliant. You just don't see things the way other people do.' Just the knowledge for me to know that I had something lots of other people have and that had absolutely nothing to do with my intelligence made me feel better. There are many techniques to help you learn. Just because you can't learn like other people do does not mean that you are dumb. There are special classes today, there are specialists who work with you. Take advantage of it! You asked, 'Am I still bothered by it?' There are times even now I can still get confused, but I'm not bothered by it because it isn't my fault and there is nothing wrong with me. I simply have a learning disability. Now I just laugh!"
211:"Did you love school as a kid?" "I'm going to answer this honestly — of course I didn't! Because when I was little, learning was very difficult for me. School was a place that I went to feel dumb. This was not the fault of my teachers because they didn't know I had a learning disability, and neither did I! But school was so hard, it wasn't a pleasant place for me to be. It was made worse, of course, because I had a child who teased me almost every day at school and made me feel even worse. That's why, when I talk to schoolchildren, I have a great deal to say about the horror of teasing." (Scholastic interview)

could conduct my presentation as usual, but I had to exclude any and all remarks regarding the NCLB! When I registered disbelief at this even being suggested, the reply was…”our client is very sensitive to this material and does not want you to include this in your remarks”…Buchannan and
Associates actually put this in WRITING and sent it to my office in an email! There is no way SRA/McGraw Hill can distance themselves from any of this and their blatant attempt to censor and alter specific references within the context of the two presentations that I contracted to perform.

they had chosen to become the heroes that they are. They would have left the event inspired, validated, and renewed. I believe with all of my heart that our
Librarians, Teachers, and Educators are among the last heroes standing in our nation. It is their integrity, their fortitude and their generous and caring spirits that makes our children’s dreams soar. It is their fervent hope that all children succeed. Not one of them wants any child left behind!
1622:
further and see if at any point within this contract it says that SRA/McGraw Hill reserves the right to approve of, alter, change or order exclusions of certain portions of the programs that I was to provide. YOU WILL NOTE THAT NO SUCH PROVISION OCCURS!! So, within the constraints of their own contract, SRA/McGraw Hill had no legal right, basis or authority to demand exclusions within my presentations.

misrepresentation of the facts and a total fabrication. Their remarks only serve as a rather transparent attempt on the part of SRA/McGraw Hill to justify their outrageous position in taking action to force me to exclude any and all references to the NCLB within the two speeches that I had every intention of presenting at the I.R.A.

I CHOSE??? HOW COULD I CHOOSE NOT TO APPEAR WHEN MY CHOICE WAS TAKEN FROM ME BY SRA/McGRAW HILL’S CANCELATION? I WAS NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO FULFILL THE CONTRACT.

1609:
As far as the SRA/McGraw Hill contract is concerned, obviously I signed it
January of 2006. I have never disputed this. I am, however, ashamed to admit that I did not read this contract, nor do I have any memory of ever signing it. Especially in view of the fact that Buchannan and Associates was the

It was then that I closely reviewed all of the emails (I had not up until this time because I had been doing school visits and was not home until now). I then realized that the "client" that this firm referred to, but never names, was indeed, SRA/McGraw Hill! I also learned from the
Officials of the

Speaking of the contract that SRA/McGraw Hill was good enough to furnish on the web, please review it carefully. It clearly shows that I agreed to do my two presentations – “Heroes in My Life” and “Tales and Talk”. It was never my intent to deviate from this in any way. Please examine the contract

I had agreed to do two of my well-known speeches. “The Heroes in My Life” and “Tales and Talk”. My corporation produces videos of both of these speeches. Within the content of both of these programs I make reference to the NCLB and it’s destructive and counterproductive force in
American education

I am insulted and very offended not only on my own behalf, but also because of these various organizations that seek to profit from the misery for our teachers and school children. Profits and money seem to matter much more that truly making changes to our educational systems that would truly help
1528:
You can imagine my astonishment when I finally called this firm and learned that this was not the reason. They requested my written outline because their 'client' wanted to make sure that I would not discuss my deep concern about NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND MANDATE...as well as my concern that there is a

1625:
Also , please note a paragraph that I completely overlooked and have SRA/McGraw Hill to thank for drawing my attention to it. The third paragraph down from the top of page two of the contract clearly stated “If SRA/MCGRAW Hill cancels the engagement sixty (60) days or less prior to the scheduled

On April 11, 2006, after my staff was hounded for four months to furnish a complete written manuscript of my program, I finally contacted

My main concern here, is that I very much fear the conferee's will be led to believe that it is I who cancelled this event. The cancellation was the choice of SRA/McGraw Hill and was generated by a blatant attempt to CENSOR my remarks and the content of what I say to teachers. Which is a clear

This "firm" insisted that my speech be "upbeat, non-controversial, and non-political"...I countered with the fact that the plight of the
American teacher is far from "upbeat" and they are caught in the vice grip of the most controversial and political LIE that has ever been perpetrated on the

Their official position is: “Patricia Polacco did not fulfill her contract to us, therefore her programs were cancelled” ”the company cancelled Polacco’s speaking engagements only after officials learned that she wasn’t willing to keep her remarks limited to the subjects covered in her
1663:
SRA/McGraw Hill is completely responsible for politicizing this entire situation by having the arrogance and audacity of taking issue and attempting to sensor portions of my two presentations, which, apparently flies in the face of their connection to the NCLB and their profit margin.
1632:
SRA/McGraw Hill has also implied in various articles and responses that I had no intention of presenting the two programs agreed upon, but had, rather, taken it upon myself to present a completely different program that was to be exclusively my objections to the NCLB. This is a gross
295:
Polacco does not compose her stories at a typewriter, but composes them in her mind, while rocking in a rocking chair and listening to music. She says, "One of the elements of my learning disability is a need for movement in order to process information." (Scholastic interview)
1710:
The irony here is, that McGraw/Hill could have avoided all of the ramifications of THEIR actions by simply offering an apology and allowing me to perform as scheduled in Chicago. If they had, everyone would have walked away from this a winner. Shame on you McGraw Hill. Shame.
1617:
From January 2006 on, the only communications that my staff received concerning the IRA was from Buchannan and Associates who represented “a client” that was never named, thus the confusion. Our conclusion was that Buchannan and Associates represented the IRA.

Polacco generally writes about real people, particularly family members and historical figures, and tries to make her characters authentic. She states, "I am careful, though, not to write in a voice that does not belong to me." (Scholastic interview)
1516:
A few months ago I was approached by The Buchanan Associates in Dublin, OH to appear at the International Reading Association Conference in Chicago on May 2 and 3, 2006. I was to be part of 5 events. Speeches, 'meet and greet' and book signings.
1543:
My speeches certainly do inspire teachers...I truly believe they are among the last hero's we have in our country...but I always mention the destructive path that is laying wasted to our schools and that is the No Child Left Behind Mandate!
1691:
It seems clear that their vested interest will not tolerate any discussion or disagreement with the NCLB. Could it be that if the NCLB Mandate is repealed and defeated, that it will have a profound and direct effect on their bottom line?
117:, and this multicultural heritage is evident in many of her stories and illustrations. Many Polacco works were inspired by stories told by her grandparents, and she attributes her writing talent to her family's love of storytelling.

SRA/McGraw Hill publishes and sells the NCLB tests to our public schools. It is estimated that this is $ 1.4 billion dollar industry annually (as reported in the recent article in Publishers Weekly).

It matters not, how diligently SRA/McGraw Hill’s spin doctors, damage control wizards, computer trolling experts, and public relations gurus try to twist and rewrite the facts.

49:, she found relief by expressing herself through art. Polacco endured teasing and hid her disability until a teacher recognized that she could not read and began to help her.

I was also quite mystified as to why SRA/McGraw Hill would even select ME and invite me to be part of their program knowing how strongly I feel about this entire situation.
