I can go on and on about this, but if teachers are not given the opportunity to learn
they're not given the opportunity to go out and really participate in workshops and trainings that really teach them who the children are and how to reach them, um, that pattern's gonna stay the same.
Um we have three kids at home here, they're all teenagers now, but not a single one of them made it through school.
And
It you know, they made it up through into middle school.
The high school was very difficult.
I have one that's homebound with high school right now.
The other two are pursuing g E Ds just because they couldn't make it in the system.
And that's not always the school's fault either.
Sometimes it's that sensory processing stuff that just kind of overwhelms them and they can't be in those type of environments.
So um I just believe there's a lot of work to be done in in this area.
Yeah, you have to individualize for every twice exceptional child.
And that is part of the issue.
There's not a uh a certain system or or pattern that actually works consistently with them.
So you have to individualize and and that becomes very expensive and and time consuming and staff consuming.
Um so yes, I do see a lot of twice exceptional parents home schooling and that is okay because their needs are not being met in the in the schools and you have to look up for your child.
Yeah, uh Devon is very accurate on that and uh she actually wrote a piece in my book and so I thank her for that.
But also
There are more options coming up, but I'm also seeing schools closing.
Um there was a grade school in Orange County, the Reed School that just closed last uh spring, I believe.
