Access to Special Ed should not depend on effective parent advocacy: "When schools rely on parents to push for services using sophisticated advocacy skills, that widens inequities for children whose caregivers lack time, resources or English proficiency." www.the74million.org/article/why-...

Why Access to Special Education Depends Too Much on Parents
Richards: The biggest predictor of whether children receive special education services shouldn't be how effectively their parents can advocate.

A four-panel webcomic edited into a meme format.

Panel 1: A man in a red shirt stands with his arms outstretched at the edge of a flat planet, saying into a speech bubble, "I've had enough of this stupid chronic illness".

Panel 2: The man leaps off the side into outer space.

Panel 3: He falls through space, leaving behind the flat land labeled "CHRONIC ILLNESS".

Panel 4: He lands face-first with a "DONK" sound effect onto another flat planet below, labeled "ANOTHER CHRONIC ILLNESS".

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.
