Episode 124: Pause to Ponder - It's All Relative
As parents, we all want to believe that our children are special, that they are unique, and that they are smart. But how would you respond if you were told that the level of your child's intelligence would be contingent upon those with whom your child went to school? That say, for example, your child would be considered gifted at one school because your child's academic abilities were beyond those of your child's peers but would qualify for special education services in another setting because those students were academically superior to yours? Understandably, most parents would celebrate the first scenario and contest the latter. Yet, this very thing is happening within our schools as we speak.
This episode shares a revelation that our family had when challenging my grandson's school and their push for him to be in a cluster program based an outdated IEP. Listen and let me know what you think.
