Those are exceptional suggestions. In education the curriculum needs to reflect that aspect, which is crucial.
I love the point you brought forward, Shelley, about challenging. Are municipalities, communities, and school systems truly doing as much as they can? That's the question. That's the challenge. Your point of going to the swimming pool, how you would get in, and what programs are there to help you, is totally amazing.
I'm emotionally caught up, because you allowed me to better understand this, and hopefully I'm a better person today.
I'll leave my comments at that.
