I should have added that there are many different levels of downs, anywhere from highly functional to barely able to use a fork. My buds kid got sick and reversed a bit, the teacher used to be able to give him a note and he would deliver it to the principal as directed now he wanders the halls because he forgot what he was supposed to do. Makes me sick to know this as I've watched his struggles growing up.
We don't know the level this particular boy is at but being in a regular school would suggest to me he is highly functional and the parents actions would suggest to me he had limitations even though he was highly functional.
Parents of downs kids are different than you and I, they are very in tune to the needs and limits the affliction puts on their child, my bud has corrected me more than once.
