When Dreams Defy Labels
Picture a teacher flipping through a magazine in a worn-out teachers' lounge, exhausted from a decade of managing behavioral crises and writing individualized education plans. He stumbles upon an article about Space Camp-NASA's elite program where gifted students build rockets and simulate space missions. Then comes the audacious thought: What if my special education students could do this? The immediate response from colleagues was brutal: "Are you out of your mind?" When he called Space Camp, administrators carefully explained their "rigorous curriculum designed for gifted children." His own principal laid out the harsh reality: IQs below 85, broken homes, fifth-grade reading levels. Yet Mike Kersjes saw something others missed. Watching his sons fold paper airplanes one evening, experimenting through trial and error, he recognized that hands-on learning could unlock potential that traditional academics couldn't measure. This wasn't just about Space Camp-it was about challenging a system that had written off twenty students before they'd even had a chance to prove themselves.
