[quote=Anonymous]My mixed race (white/asian) 2E child whose immigrant father did go to college is in YS.  He checks all the boxes!  I understand OP that your child has FOMO, I get that.

But I will tell you that my kid has missed out on so much of what typical kids can do.  I assure you that a few extra field trips does not make up for that.  He was born with a physical issue in his mouth that couldn't be treated until he was 3.5.  He didn't talk until he was 4.  He's been through the wringer socially and emotionally as he tries to catch up.  But despite that, he still scored over 95th percentile in non-verbal assessments and is considered hyperlexic to some.

Why would you want to deprive a child who was born behind the curve for a disability/economic disadvantage/or language issue the chance to catch up.  Even gain some confidence, dream big, and thrive!

My older child got none of this and I'm not bitter.  Just count your lucky stars that you haven't had to face any of that and tell your DC my story.  Seriously, YS isn't about "woke politics" and shouldn't be weaponized.[/quote]
