During this summer's vacation, my family went to two schools that changed or strengthened the way I feel about my daughters education. Yes, we visited schools on vacation, bookish, I know, but timely. I am seeking fuel for dealing with a nagging feeling about Lucy's educational opportunities that just doesn't sit well with me. We visited the Perkins School for the Blind and the Henderson Inclusion School, both in Boston. Both inspired me as places where kids are being taught, treated like learners. The professionals at these schools are people who believe in kids like Lucy. I wonder whether Lucy's teacher this year believed that Lucy can learn? I'd like to ask her principle if he feels his teachers believe in learning. (I guess you can imagine what I feel the answer to these questions are) How many other people out there believe in the learning of kids like my daughter? I believe that Lucy wants to an can learn. I know she can. She has learned and overcome so much.
Does this make sense to anyone else?
