Summer Reading Assignment???!!! Seriously??!!
I see that is one of the grades that Dominatrix (SD stb 17) will be getting. Of course it's a big, fat goose egg. Dominatrix "doesn't do" reading unless it's text talk in a FB post.
She even has a special note taker and quiz question reader at school so she doesn't have to read. To me that is like a kid having a servant; akin to royalty. I'm TOTALLY against this method.
I saw the little column "Summer Reading Assignment" and I almost wet myself laughing.

Oh, I'm sure she'll get a pass on it because she didn't have someone at home to read the book to her over the summer. Poor snowflake can't be expected to read at home when she has a helper to read in school! :sick:
She wasn't special needs when
She wasn't special needs when she popped out of the Girhippo's va jay jay. She has no physical or genetic ailments to make her so.
But if you feed a kid a solid diet of junk food, cater to the kids every whim and never teach them anything yep they are going to BECOME "special needs"
There are many kids out there with genetic disabilities,etc. What I am pissed off about is that in many other cases this doesn't NEED to be the case due to LAP (lazy assed parenting)
Funny, Dominatrix can express herself quite clearly and take endless quizzes about her likes, dislikes, eye colour, best friend, etc. but somehow fails school tests.
THAT is not a disability. THAT is INDUCED selective learning/hearing/cognizance.
My MSD didn't have someone to
My MSD didn't have someone to read the tests and stuff, but she WAS allowed more time on tests than her classmates to accommodate her reading disability. MSD had a clear and distinct physical cause for her disability (lead poisoning as a toddler), so I never questioned that it was "real". But I think even if she hadn't had that, I still wouldn't have cared what the school wanted to do to help her. I DID (and do) care that her entire life her BM told her she "couldn't do things like normal kids" and kept her so damn dependent. There are adults with MUCH worse disabilities working, living on their own, and taking care of themselves - and my SD22 *knows* she "can't" do that so she won't. *sigh* Help is one thing, and I don't begrudge it. Telling a kid they'll never be able to do stuff for themselves (rather than encouraging them to work their butt off until they DO get it) bugs the ever living crap out of me.
Sorry, a bit off tangent there!
