[quote=Anonymous]I definitely share this concern about attitudes. It's noticeable when touring certain institutions (cough, cough Maddux, cough cough, but not the only one) how everyone seems to want extra help for their child, but to avoid undesirable labeling or having to share space with a "less desirable" peer group, and the schools market themselves accordingly, often giving the cold shoulder to hard-working kids in need of a fair chance. Where I really feel this is with the kids who are SN by the standards and terminologies of 1-2 generations ago. Today it seems that ADHD and HFA and sensory processing disorders dominate the discussions as much as anything, whereas kids who suffer from more fundamental learning or behavioral challenges seem like they have been pushed into their own corner, unseen and unwanted by the SN parents with different ambitions for their kids. Perhaps this is really unfair for me to feel this way, but I feel the vibe you are talking about.[/quote]
