It's not about bizarre so much as not making your characters generic. Flat. Real people have quirks. One of mine is that I adore my chickens. Not everyone has chickens but people can relate to the feeling of loving an animal. Every character needs something that makes them unique.

Ack! Racoons are the devil. I hope your flock recovers. I swore off more baby chicks, but then my broody hen wouldn't break. This was the only thing that worked.

I think you misunderstood my intent. I'm saying the current system should be given more resources. I support the DOE. I want to live in a world where there isn't a scarcity mindset in SPED. Where parents don't need private tutors and lawyers. Where schools find and help every child with disability.

To even get to the IEP meeting stage is a privilege. Many schools push kids onto 504s when an IEP would be a better fit, which circles back to my original premise: many schools are not sufficiently finding (or *testing*) students with disabilities in the first place.
