Imagine

Imagine an education for kids with ADHD and other challenges where the focus was not simply on grades, test scores, and holding kids to an unrealistic standard,"for them". Rather education for kids with ADHD and other challenges was a dance of sorts, an art, to meet that kid where they're at, and utilize their strengths to let them become the leader, the navigator of their education and their destinies, where success was not defined by a universal and arbitrary standard, but by what each student genuinely needed to call themselves successful, to feel successful. What if we guided students, encouraged them that they can do it, praised them at approximations of their goals, and called that success every step of the way. What great young adults we would be molding. Actually, they'd be molding themselves... And they'd be ok, no they'd be good with that. They'd be at SOAR. Some of them already are...The rest of the country would never go for it. It's so much easier to give a test....
