Frustration with parents - inclusive education

I am a special educator working for one of the prestigious Inclusive School in India. My frustration heightens when i am unable to communicate with the parents the necessity of functional rather than academics .

For the past two years I have a child with downs . Since the mother is extremley ambitious and highly successful she simply cannot understand the necessity of the Child's priority in life .

It makes me mad that at a times I have to give in and concentrate on academics with her rather than the better option for the child.
