Well, if it's any bright spot at all...

My best friend's nephew, whom she has been caring for since his parents split up, was recently interviewed by the US Dept of Education. He was a highly gifted student who fell thru the cracks in school & dropped out. He was interviewed to find out how the school system let him down.

Here's to hoping that Special Education fully covers BOTH ends of the spectrum one day.
