Woah, this episode was difficult to record! It brought up emotions that I didn't know I still had about my daughter's experience with receiving support for reading in elementary school.

As a parent, I remember I initially agreed to the services, but later I had to sign my daughter out of some of them due to the stress it was causing her. It broke my heart to see my daughter feeling like she was being punished for needing extra help in reading. Support services should never feel like a punishment to a child, and it is crucial to ensure that our children feel supported and empowered in their educational journey.
