Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 now the schools are calling our IEPs for my 8 year old daughter " team meetings " . this way here, everytime we catch them with a change or " mistake " on her IEP they can chalk it up to a " typo by mistake " when they get caught. anyway, they actaully made the comment " we would like to see your daughter start to think like the other children in her class " . My wife (who is usually quiet and lets me do all of the talking) piped up and said " can you make a blind person see yellow ? " . then i lost it. i said " what? do we live in communist russia?! think like everyone else?! thank God no one ever told Einstein that or we wouldnt have thw theory of relativity " . then i made a comment that will forever now become my description of my daughter when other think she is DIFFERENT. I dont know if i ever heard it somewhere, or out of the situation i found a moment of clarity (so i cant take credit for making it up) but i said " We are forced all of our lives to be taught through your flatline teaching, to think in BLACK and WHITE. But my daughter can think in RAINBOWS. " And they had no idea what i was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
