Graduating Peter (2001)
Highly Educational
I have a 9 years old son with Down Syndrome (DS). I learned a lot from watching this movie about how children with DS behave in school. I rarely have a chance to go see my son in his class setting. This movie showed me the challenges that my son, his teachers and his peers face in school on a daily basis. I found this movie to be emotionally well balanced, educational and a must see for all parents with DS kids. I have not seen Educating Peter, but I am determined to do so after watching this movie on HBO. I agree with a previous comment on this movie stating the fact that some of the scenes were rushed. Also, some of the important milestones were missed out. Also, when showing other children with DS, the director did not emphasize how they were behaving in the class to give the parents with DS children a kind of comparison.
