Quick story:
My wife was an in-classrom social worker in schools with ED & BD kids.
One February, she asked me to take a day off and go on a field trip to Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry.
I had 3 boys I took around and one (10 years old) kept asking really smart questions.
At the end of the visit we get on the bus and the kids are oohjng & ahhing seeing the waves hit the breaker wall on the south shore.
I told them sometimes the spray comes up, freezes on the road and they have to close it until they can salt it.
This 10 yo says "Well, the water holds heat better than the land so there's more pressure so the wind always blows toward land."
I asked my wife what he's doing in special Ed. She says "He can't read.".
Kud did his math homework the last 60 seconds of every day & gets 100% on every test & assignment. But, can't read.
About a month later, she tells me that kid is in the hospital.
His parents thought it be fun, so they had him drinking shots of Jack Daniel's with them. A 10 year old!
DCFS arrested them & successfully prosecuted them.
This kid was wventualky ok, and they still got convicted.
These parents did even worse.
