I have a "katy", she is my daughter. She is creative, emotional, caring. She has so much knowledge to share and knows an awful lot for 7 BUT she is struggling to read. She is in the process of getting an IEP....mainly because as a parent I need to play the "legislative game"...I have had the testing done....the results were and I quote "She is consistently inconsistent."
You know there are days I am consistently inconsistent and I have managed to live a successful life so far....We could all do a bit better with some "consistently inconsistent" days.....unfortunately we have benchmarks, AYP scores, tests, practice tests, testing of tests and of course the ever present comparisons to other countries globally.
I wish the best for all the "Katys" of the world because without them we lose our zany, creative, empathetic creatures who offer us our light and life and bubbling fountains of love and zaniness. Long Live the Katys!
Childhood ends...
