Are Schools Too Protective Of Kids?

[HarleyDog]

Kids learn life lessons through triumphs and failures. Yes, even autistic children. Think you did good here Brad. Although I know what Fred is trying to say, and he’s right. There is no way you could have learned More about this girl in 15 minutes than what her teacher knew. In this case I do think the teacher was a little over protective, but in today’s society, if the child would have had some sort of episode there likely would be parents in her face wanting her job. So, in a sense, the teacher had to suggest an alternative.

Where you are right Brad is that society does coddle children too much. What you did was commendable. Had it backfired, it would have been condemnable, but it didn’t. You had faith in her and she stepped to the plate and Hit it out of the park. If she was lit up as you say, you have created a moment in her life to reflect on when challenged. So for someone who has overcome many hurdles in his own life, it’s good to read about you helping someone else with theirs, when society whispered “pick someone else.”
