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!!!!

People say insensitive things all the time...they can't help it, they're "dummies!" I figure any early intervention is great no matter where it comes from. Bright Futures is an amazing program, and gets kids used to a "school" setting. Best of luck to my buddy Zackary!
Someone who would make a remark of this nature has REAL problems that at this stage of life needs a "heart" repair by God! This person has some deep seat issues that are beyond the understanding of the majority! Celebrate your wonderful child and don't let people who have "issues" ever get you down!! God bless you and your family!
