Ignoring the ignorant

Okay, so I usually can let stuff slide but this comment really set me off. The other day I heard someone say that a certain Preschool program in our town called Bright Futures is where the "dummies" go. Yeah....someone who actually knows my child very well in fact and knows that he will be going there. When in fact Bright Futures is open to everyone in the area with first choice given to those in the early intervention program. Then to only children and then to anyone...actually there are more non EI kids there than EI kids. I told our PT that if Zack were to be labeled a "dummy" or "slow" for the rest of his schooling because we attends Bright Futures then I was out....here and now...no way is my child going to be labeled. So, he may not learn math well but who cares...I am 27 and still cannot do fractions!!!!
