My son came home from school today (third grade, heβs 9) and was very down and sad When we talked to him we found out that they are having an end of the year party tomorrow, and you get to participate based on how well you performed on a test Everyone passed as far as getting to watch a movie and have popcorn (yellow level), but then there was a green level, where you get a drink, and a blue level, where you also get a candy My son only reached the yellow level (he has a disability + IEP and all) and was embarrassed and sad that he doesnβt get to participate with the rest of the class and get a drink and snack Iβm a teacher myself so Iβm always trying to err on their side, but part of this seems kind of messed up for that young of an age, esp when my son has a disability that directly impacts his performance on these things When we reached out to the teacher to see her side of the story - we didnβt want to just blindly trust our son on it - she reiterated the system What would you guys do?

Iβm not a parent, but i think dad can fix it. Take him to a movie after school and gib him all the candy because he tried his best

Second this. Take him out and do something fun. Let him know that you are proud of him and that he's doing his best. Our current education system is deeply flawed and needs to be completely overhauled in my opinion. For now, encourage him to keep trying and help foster his interests and talents. The cold, unfeeling, industrialized world we live in is not meant for us neuro-divergents, but that doesn't mean we can't do great things. All we need is the right support and a good nudge in the right direction.
