[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your child’s school teaching self-advocacy? Ours’ was age-appropriate. For example, 1st graders whose parents forgot to pack a snack could let the teacher know and walk down to the office, where they could choose a snack.[/quote] This. It’s an important skill kids need to have by the time they are in college, and it can start in small doses with young kids and increase as they get into MS and HS. No, elementary students should not be having to entirely advocate for themselves without parent involvement. But schools should be guiding them toward that goal as they get older. [/quote]
