Is it best that we continue to test, explore, open our minds to different viewpoints? I've always believe that this kind of inner development is how we reach higher cognitive levels and a better way of life. Think of Helen Keller who was protected by her parents to stay in a very small but loving environment. Were it not for her teacher she could have not reached her full potential. But then think of those individuals with MR. They are so happy in their small spaces! How about the Amish who restrict their thinking to a limited environment out of cutural choice? I've always thought that this is child abuse to limit resources for them. I still will continue my ways of exploration for myself and my students but in the back of my mind now is a new space for those who have the right to limit themselves. thanks for the exposure to all the points of view!!!!!
