Measure of Success
To me, the measure of success should be: happy, healthy, productive member of society. There are many ways that all of these things can be accomplished. That, of course, brings it all back to something said at the beginning of this thread--each unique child should be educated in an uniquely individual way. AND the WHOLE CHILD should be considered--the emotional/social/physical/psychological/spiritual/academic make-up of EACH child is very individualized. Also, the family and community environment and resources are a HUGE factor in what CAN be done to help each child.
