No extra kindergarten for you!

An Indiana boy’s parents are appealing a judge’s ruling that the boy — who suffers from a traumatic brain injury — is not allowed to enroll in both morning and afternoon kindergarten classes. This goes against the boy’s neuropsychologist, who thinks the extra school time would benefit the child.

Michael’s parents didn’t expect to win but said they’re disappointed.

“We’re saddened by it,” said Damian Berns, Michael’s father. “With all the support we had from the community and other attorneys and family and friends, we were optimistic.”

Last fall, a 150-pound cabinet fell on Michael’s head and pinned him to the concrete floor of his grandparents’ garage. He now has speech, memory and behavioral problems.
