it is admittedly obsessive and unnecessary for me to worry about the education of my unborn children, but hey that’s what i do. i couldn’t read til ate in 3rd grade (dyslexic) but was lucky to be in a school that customized the education of each child instead of holding us back grades or putting us in remedial classes. also we had access an amazing art program and drama program. for high school i went to public school and almost failed english on several occasions. i also scored a 1420 on my SATs (well above average) and received presidental scholarship at RIT, where i graduated with high honors. i often wonder how things would have panned out if i hadn’t spent the first 9 years of my education at a school that purposely challenged my strengths and accepted my weaknesses. there are some kids who do fine in a traditional test and grade focused environment but certainly not all do. and they grow up to be some pretty awesome delinquints.
