I already have problems with my kids being so far out of the box, I don't need the box to get bigger, that's my 2 cents. I don't disagree with talent development, but I think kids who's talents like in music or athletics or easily measurable academics get plenty of support. And the kids at the other end get their needs supported.

I just had the Education Specialist (Resource, OT/Speech, etc) person tell me today that it is STILL not likely we can get OT for Butter, even WITH the independent psychologists testing and reccomendation) because she already tests above grade level. But, at the same time, at the old school they were saying it was all her attitude with writing and unwilling to consider another cause.

I don't need a position that is more inclusive (not that I have a problem with that, but it should be a different group), I need one that looks more at my child as an individual.


I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
