Why can't children grow and develop at their own pace....?

without their parents and others questioning their development. It's also common for teachers to be quick to label and wrongly misplace children in special education, due to a lack of patience or personality type. Some children just need more time to adjust to school environment. They get tested and it turns out their fine. I think it's ridiculous that kids are made to feel like something is wrong with them just because they are not conforming to school's guidelines, who want all kids to be the same.

That's right...I just saw an Indian movie recently entitled Every Child is Special.It is a story about a boy who was continuously mock at school because he can't learn fast as the other kids.They later found out that he had dyslexia and was soon helped by a teacher who had the same disorder,and later found out that he has great painting skills.
Maybe some kids have undiagnosed cases like autism,dyslexia or attention deficit disorder(ADHD) but it doesn't mean that they can't learn or they are mentally retarded.They just need to be diagnose as early as possible so they can be help.They maybe the next Einstein in the future.

I haven't known anyone who has misjudged a student in school but it thats the case its not right. When kids are in school most of them are shy especially when it comes going to new school. The new environment what there not used to they may react differently towards other students. Usually after a few days the kids start adjusting at school and making new friends
