[quote=Anonymous]I have seen the same thing. I think these programs are so misguided. In fourth or fifth grade I let my daughter participate in one and at the end of the year when they did the year in review all I could think about was how fake it was. My daughter, who is lovely (yes I know I’m biased) and who grew up with silent special needs brothers, would never be friends with the kids she befriended in the program. They just had nothing in common. It felt like superior versus inferior. That the volunteers had something to offer and the participants were grateful takers. That’s not to say she has no friends with special needs. But they came together as a result of their common interests. [/quote]
