16 Time to feed the chickens, Kaila!
Kaila started Cotting at age ten, and she was still not reading and writing. “She has blossomed here!” her mother, Meredith, delightedly laughs. “Kaila now loves to read and use the internet. She’s having fun while she’s learning. Kaila loves school and doesn’t want to miss a day.” “We live in Plymouth,” Meredith continues. “Many people have asked me, ‘why do you send Kaila on such a long commute?’ Basically, it’s because there is no other school like this. People at Cotting know how to give her what she needs without fuss or fanfare. Kaila wouldn’t have it any other way because she gets so much there.” She adds, “Cotting does it all. There’s a continuum of support for parents and family as well as the student. There is acceptance among all her friends in the greater Cotting family. Kaila is thrilled that she can leave mom behind and be on her own. She feels empowered that she controls her life and her day. At school the whole point is to be a useful member of society. It’s the Cotting attitude.” “Kaila gets the social part of life at school. She attends Circle of Friends, a social outing group, on Fridays, which makes up for her commute. She’s not missing out; she is still doing all the things her peers do. They go shopping, eat at the mall food court, catch a movie, people watch and are part of a group, which is so important to teenagers. Kaila is making friends she will take with her after she finishes Cotting.” 17 “We live in Plymouth. Many people have asked me, ‘Why do you send Kaila on such a long commute?’ Basically, it’s because there is no other school like this.” ~ Meredith MacLeod
