[quote=Anonymous]I agree with most of those who didn't like this article ... and I say that as the mother of an adopted boy. But a few of the commenters who took the tone "why should MY child suffer because of YOUR child's issue" are also way off base. Schools need to be inclusive. To suggest that family trees are ok because most kids have bio families sends the wrong message that that's the right way to have a family and all others need to just tow the line. We should all try ... within reason of course ... to be sensitive to all our concerns. That's why we have ramps for disabled people free breakfasts for low income kids, etc. I personally dont have a big problem with family tree assignments but I also don't think they are an essential part of an eduation (reading, writing, family tree ... not) [/quote]
