I totally agree. You can't have a cookie cutter style with any child, but it really really doesn't work when you deal with children with disabilities. My son is actually far above average in some areas. He is mainstreamed, and is finally performing- we've got the mix just right. But what is right for my son wouldn't work for the son of my friend, because he suffers from autism, and it wouldn't work for the little girl down the street who has down's, etc. Prickly problem. I spend half my time at a regular high school, and the other part of my time working with high school students who are choosing to home school through our district. It's a challenging and interesting job. I have also taught elementary, and I teach reluctant readers in the summer (reluctant readers is a nice name for children who cannot read, or who are so far below grade level they have to go to summer school to improve their reading).
