[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup. They treat those kids as a community service project. The power differential caused by those programs makes the kids secure that they are doing a Good Thing. Being friends with your son as an equal wouldn't give them the same accolades.[/quote] Our school has an instagram to show off the "best Buddies" program and the comments are so patronizing. It reminds me of poverty tourism where people feel so superior posting their photos with the people they help. There was a sports program my child participated in where every event they took a million photos for the local newspaper to show off helping these special needs kids who we should pity. When I refused to allow them tro photograph my SN kid they boy did they get obnoxious. It was clear they wanted to do things for show and our kids were props to feed their egos.[/quote] This. My SN school does this with another school and I find it so unsavory. [/quote]
