I have to admit, I'm still not there with being able to write a semi-rational response! But fwiw, I second and agree with everything aculady said, and have experienced it first-hand as well in our school district.

I don't for one minute feel any sadness or frustration over the services someone else's child is receiving - I am happy for the kids who have services because I have yet to see a child receive services that aren't desperately needed. I also think that perhaps we are so focused on the extreme ends of intellectual prowess here at this forum, that we forget that the vast multitude of families parenting kids who fall into the big bubble of average on the bell curve, also have many similar frustrations with school.
