Sail Away – David Gray Lyrics poster

Odyssey of the Mind is a thinking and planning and executing a skit or building a vehicle. It’s a competition that is quite in depth and wonderful. As a former educator and a parent who witnessed and felt the pain of exclusion that my students as well as my own children experienced along the way, this brings tears to my eyes. Life just isn’t fair sometimes, but it is a hard pill to swallow for both parent and child. My heart goes out to you and your son. Nancy Ellis

Will continue to say what was only confirmed this past weekend/ you are amazing and your children are going to grow up to be just as amazing. This just floors me. Is OM so serious at 9 years old that it’s ok to exclude someone? My nephew has been OM for years, he has expressed some people are better than others but never once has anyone been excluded. Total BS.

• you explained it perfectly to him. We all wrestle with exclusion, even as adults, but it’s sad that kids have to experience it so early. Thank you for sharing! Maybe it’s not too late for Russell to join/start another OM team at his school.
• I wonder if he would like to do it again! I think he would. It is me that is a bit sour.
• They are so blessed to have you as their mama…. Maybe you can start your own team as someone suggested, or the volunteering at a zoo or somewhere or even both if time and your energy allowed i

You handled the situation the in the best way possible. Thank goodness the ugly statements did not fall on his ears. At 9, I was told by the adult leaders of the girl scout that I did not fit into their vision for the troup and sent home. My Mom was at work and I cried till she got home. She tried to ease the pain but the damage to my self esteem was already done.
