Social Skills
Back to the “why” for this podcast: public schools that corral all the N/D children together for a social skills group boggle the mind. How can kids lacking social skills learn better social skills from other kids who also lack social skills? What kind of awkward, separate grouping can we create to make kids who already feel they don’t fit in MORE like misfits? Mainstream (Sonny and I have a problem with the concept) can be defined as “othering” kids that are different.
