I had plenty of empathy as a child and was more mature than my age mates. But I had zero patience with kids I was supposed to help. As a child I simply could not understand how is it possible they "didn't get it!" when it was so easy? I didn't learn to have that patience with other people who were slower learners until I was in my late 20s / early 30s. Even teachers don't always have that patience. How can they expect it from a little kid?
Exactly. They shouldn't expect it, and they know that. It needs to be made clear that
squishys' son is being bullied by school personnel to concoct an excuse for preventing academic advancement.
