My Observation on 'Special' Children - Part 1

I am Shruti, working as a financial consultant with a private based firm in Delhi. Follow up of my blog will present before two different cases:

Case (1)

My boss’s child; around 9 years is though sweet, is a classic exemplar of the aristocratic society. For the reason that he belongs to a well-off family, his father can afford worldly luxuries for him. Though he is nine, but is super sensitive. I have seen him, when he was only four. He would come to office and every single time he came, there was something that I found strange about him. Every time, i would think that there’s something missing. He was never one of the chubby and loud child, which was though hard to digest, atleast for me. I would think, does he have problems or he is just like that. He would keep staring at one direction and won’t cry much. At times, he would get very high, but now with change in time, things have had changed. Not much…to put it aptly. Later when his parents realized it, he was taken to doctors. He would get irritated with people around him. So, he was asked to enroll in a school, where he can be made sit with not more than 15 children. For the reason that he belong to a well off family, his father could make it. A separate section was opened for him, which is a big thing.

Case (2)

My friend’s daughter, who is just five, is as sweet as an angel, but she stammers and has some verbal concerns. When my friend filled form for her admission and took her for an interview, the reaction from schools of repute came to her as surprise. No school principal was ready to enroll her in school, saying she is not fit or won’t be able to adapt to the school environment. The basic idea was that she won’t be able to cope up. The reason being what…she stammers! Half the school principals ended up saying that she needs a special school for her.

Well, a lot more to say…but have saved it for my next post.
