One thought on “2025 Forty Under 40: Early childhood learning advocate is Forty Under 40 alumni of the year

  1. What about the gifted kids that can read by kindergarten? Most of these kids get overlooked or seen as problems. Because THEY ARE BORED! Everyone talks about getting kids to read. How about challenging the kids who already know how to read. Who get it, the 1st time it is presented. Sometimes, I wish I didn’t constantly try to challenge him. They wouldn’t advance to the next year because of his grades. Well, he already knew the subject. He acted out because he was tired of hearing the same subject over and over again. But you RARELY hear about that. Fortunately their is a gifted school but it always has a waiting list. It’s one of the few schools that is high on the listed or what ever its called now. And the only IPS school that has a blue ribbon of achievement. So why don’t they send money on this school instead of wasting money on schools that fail to teach? Because it’s not being talked about in the political circles like the other schools. As usual, the gifted kids get the left overs. People assume they don’t need help. But what about the 2 E kids?
