hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

and children with disabilities – children who have learning disabilities – they got to spend a lot of time reading in a classroom.

i could not believe there was never any kind of conversation in my school about how to provide more opportunities for students with disabilities. the education system was still looking for ways to keep the pressure on children's teachers to improve their grades, that they have to be teachers who were in the grade for eight years, and they weren't even being evaluated.

so why weren't parents or guardians concerned about whether their kids were being by this system, if they could not see their kids in a classroom that they could improve? why couldn't you say, "i think you need to improve your reading skills," right? and they certainly believed it when i pointed it out to them. it doesn't matter if you said, "you need to go to an optometry class, or to a teacher's camp
