#1...katelyn's mom....i get it. most times ds would get out of the box....but there are times that he just spins his wheels doing what everyone else is doing because he doesn't feel like he can or is supposed to say something. he spends enough time "in the box" without really saying anything for himself....but then the school wants to know why he acts out, or dismisses himself to the cubby room to do something else. lol. um...maybe because he doesn't need to write t's! lol.
#2...."We teach to the whole child." yeah....ours says something similar. i'm not sure what that means exactly.....maybe next time i'll ask her to explain that. our school also says that advancement isn't always necessary because they also want to pull a child deeper. as in....even though he is reading at a 4th grade level we are still going to give him kindergarten books with few words to talk about things like plot and setting. um....because 4th grade books don't have those elements? i just feel like they are really great at coming up with excuses as to why they won't differentiate.
