Sean’s Story response

After viewing this movie, I have decided that I would be in agreement with the parents in this situation. Sean’s situation was a very interesting situation that I felt very insightful and meaningful for people studying education. I also felt Sean’s mom fought extremely hard for what she believed was right for her son, which I thought was very insightful as well. For her to take the goals she had for her son and turn them in to reality is truly inspiring for me. I think Sean’s parents were right in the way that they saw the potential their son had and they were not going to back down until he was in the surroundings where he would succeed to his fullest potential. I think Sean had a good opportunity at Ridge but I feel he had much better opportunity at Sparks. I think he was able to flourish in to what he could be in a classroom with regular students because on the social aspect of things, he was getting that awareness a child needs to learn how to socially interact with others. I think he was placed in the right spot for his situation, however, I feel he could have flourished even more if he had a permanent aid with him at all times throughout the day. I think the aid could have helped him stay on task at all times and also be there to help if a question rose to his mind. I think Sean was a great kid and worked very hard in school and it was a great experience to see his situation and see how his family worked to get him to a great point. I most definitely think he should return to Sparks for 2nd grade and continue his success in the classroom.
