- Hot and cold.
Best when the pieces are focused on facts. U Chicago piece was fluff and marketing. Susan tried to be objective about her alma mater but the mom was pure marketing and fluff. Pushed the school way too hard.
Please no more of mom’s pumping their kid’s school. Brings down the credibility of the podcast which is otherwise so credible.

I am writing as a listener, parent of an autistic/ADHD son, and IEC, who loves working with neurodivergent students.
I am writing with unbelievable disappointment and anger with the latest episode about IECs. It was wildly misinformed and harmful to all families, particularly those that have children with different/specific/special needs.
My son is autistic and has ADHD and I believe it is important to validate parents who want additional support for their children and offer options for them ... more
