A lot of the teachers at some of the "best" schools have told me that out of 20 kids in their class, up to 14 have been diagnosed with some kind of learning or behavioral problem. That sounds like a lot!
I'm wondering if maybe the definition of normal isn't too narrow. The problem is, these kids who have been followed by therapists for all of their schooling often end up in my class at university convinced they need help but the help isn't there anymore.
What I want to know is how can we widen the goalposts, so to speak, and expand the definition of "normal" to include more kids, and how can we help kids who think they aren't normal (but I think they are).
