You find what you look for. If you want to believe the world is getting flushed down the toilet, you'll hand around toilets and you will see a lot of flushing going on. If you want to believe all is fine with the world, you'll see a lot more that will persuade you the world is a nice place, even if you see things that are not fine. For my part, I don't hang around toilets. And, I don't ascribe to a Pollyanna view of life. I do tend to look up. Sometimes, looking up is the very best way to deal with the ups and downs of life. My first grandson was born with problems. Early on we were told he would have problems speaking, understanding, etc. Academically we were told he would need special education, etc. Today, he is eight years old. He walks and runs like a deer. He is in 2nd grade. School thinks he would do well in 4th grade. Testing has placed him in the 99th percentile for math, language, reading. He reads way above grade level, I think its close to 6th grade. He has been placed in a gifted program where he is really shinning. My daughter and her husband together never were willing to just accept the situation. My wife and I were right there with them. He is not typical of all school children his age. Neither are those children who typically get written up as the norm of everyday school life. Same goes for teachers, etc. Sincerely. bruce.
