Dancing with the Stars and "Splinter Skills"

Dancing with what?

This is one of my regular shows, I even record it with my DVR.
So this week I had it on while doing my house work and could not believe the improvement of the remaining stars.

Then I got to thinking that most of the "Stars" Dance Ability is based on their "facilitator".
It's more than instruction, just look at Kelly Osborne's progress!
Only five weeks ago she was scared to death and in disbelief of her ability.

The instructors remain focused on making the Stars successful, and do this by
using their interest and abilities to develop them into "Dancers".

Professional Dancers and the Television Audience are the judges and the
Stars are promoted and advanced towards the finals over the season.

I wonder how many children with disabilities would benefit from academic programming that allowed them to use their interests and abilities to help them learn to use what they "can do" in meaningful ways, and look good in the eyes of others?

I wonder if they were Reading, Writing and Telling stories in all areas of academic content with an aide or a peer would we hear that it does not matter because they cannot do it by themselves; without an aide or peer.

I wonder if Kelly, Donny or Mia could dance the way they will in the
Dancing with the Stars, Finals, without their "professional partner"?
