My friend also told the school to go to hell. The child is a doctor today.
It was a damn good feeling to look those folks in the eye when our son graduated with Honors and to see the “failure” in theirs...
Good for your friend and their child...it’s as it should be.
ijust hope more people learn as they get older, experts don’t know as much as they think they do. if my friend hadn’t been monitoring her young daughter with type i diabetes and right in the room stopping nurses and doctors doing their ‘expert’ treatments, which afterwards she was vindicated on, every time, her daughter would have been dead about twenty times over. she knew her daughter and her disease better. she cared more about her daughter’s health than any of those experts did.
experts are regular people too. make mistakes. believe incorrect things. make errors. ignore things they shouldn’t. have off days. allow stress or fatigue to affect judgment. get kickbacks for promoting certain things. not gods, just people like you and me in most other areas of life. susceptible tothe same weaknesses and failings we all as people, have.
