[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 140754, member: 3626"] Wow! Good report. Thank you for doing and sharing this with us, Marty. The one thing that stuck out to me and truly saddened me was the fact what we parents are willing to accept as "successful." It would be interesting to see what initial goals for our children were for each age group and how they dropped over time and what was ultimately acceptable. I know that has drastically changed for me from college education and white-collar job to AA or trade school to high school graduation to GED to job that will give her enough money to live on her own. None of that has happened, yet, she is somewhat successful in that she's not on drugs or living on the street. She must have a roommate as she couldn't afford even a $600/month apartment on her own. So very sad and, yet, I'm proud of the person she is becoming. I know that none of my friends or even her classmates would consider her successful. I, however, do. Again, thank you. It is an interesting study with some good suggestions at the end. I do wonder what could have been accomplished for my daughter had the school not fought me tooth and nail to provide even minimal assistance. [/QUOTE]
