the rest of the book...I was really shocked with everything that happened in this part of the book as well as what all the family had to go through to try and get their child an education. It is too bad that they went through all the tests and effort they had to for basically nothing from the system. I thought one of the quotes that summed up everything that happened was when the doctor flat out said that the school had not done enough for the boy and had cost him the education he should have been allowed to have. I felt so bad for this young boy who wanted to do well and be like other kids but was never able to be the same and so always felt different from the other kids which made the whole situation worse since he was already feeling a little bit different. As I was reading this book I was trying to think about what I would have done if I was put into this same situation. This would be a very hard thing to deal with if you were the parents because of course you are trying to have your child be successful and help them as much as you can, but they were not able to since they could not figure out what the best situation was. I think I would have had him work as much as possible with his one on one tutor since that is the time when he seemed to flourish the most and be able to read and write just like anyone who is his age. As far as fighting the education system it would have been hard because it is you against them and you have to be very prepared and that may be something that isnt worth fighting since you know they are most likely not going to be able to see your side of the arguement. I would say if I was the tutor in this case though, I would work as much as I could with the child and try to make as much progress as possible and even see if I would be able to be in the classroom with him, but also helping if it was needed, not just in an observing role. I would try and convince the teacher that there really was a problem of sorts and some attention was going to be needed for this child to become successful and be able to accomplish what everyone wanted him to. I feel bad for everyone from the family that had to be a part of it because I would never want anyone to be a part of it and have to do through those things.
