NC as this is based on a Facebook post and on the off chance I'm recognised (my DC doesn't want his ASD and learning delay public knowledge). I don't know if IABU and over sensitive. Have a friend who has super high achieving children, academically, sportingly and musically. Her posts are full of their achievements which is nice to see. Usually like, well done and carry on.
The last achievement left me a bit speechless. It was an award for being kind to, helping and making an effort to include children who are in the special education program. WTF? So they are using children with SN as the basis of a reward for children without SN, who probably find everything to do with school about 10,000 times easier than said children with SN? A little pat on the back, complete with certificate and award ceremony in front of parents for deigning to notice and be decent to another child. They're all human. All credit to her child for being kind, but why specify the special education? Doesn't really say a lot about the school or their expectations of the pupils does it? Is it a US/UK culture difference?
YABU and over sensitive.
YANBU - a group of children should not be used for an award like this
