'Special Needs' people in classrooms...

that's pretty damn funny. the only special needs kid i know of is also huge (at least 300lbs) and he has a special person in each of his classes assigned to take notes for him. i think it's totally unfair (he supposedly has bad ADD, but, who doesn't?).
 
I had all kinds of learning disabilities when I was a kid. I definitely had to attend classes with other children who had disabilities as well.
I think that the integration is a tremendous idea bc the kids with disabilities often become seperated from the pack. Don't let the outside fool you.

Do you have any 'special needs' people in your classes? I have 2 of them. One is about 5'5" 300 pounds, in a wheelchair, and she has beathing problems.

*punches palm of hand* :mad:
 
I used to have a problem with it... then i realized how easy it was to get them to give me hand jobs in the bathroom. Then, it was all good brolly

there's a differenc between fat kids with asthma, and someone with a disability.

Asthma is a chronic disease that you have for life if you are born with it (although some can overcome it through various means). 300+ pounders who cant breath easily b/c they are fat is a lot different than someone that has trouble breathing b/c they have asthma.


Darktooth, I guess if the 'no-cologne kid' ever gives you any shit, you can go to Wal-Mart & drop $5 on a bottle of Brut, pull the top off, and toss it at that 'mawfucker'.
 
Back in grade school, we had this kid named Sebastian in our class. Sebastian was an ogre of a child, about six foot five weighing in at a flabby two fifty. Sebastian had some sort of mental condition. We never said much about it until the drooling began. At first it was a random drop every few minutes or so, but it progressed into a constant spout, like a urine stream one would expect to be released by a man who had consumed seventy five gallons of cheap beer.

Some of the kids would throw things at Sebastian, but he wouldn't react at all, not even the time we knocked him across the side of the head with a hockey stick. His drool cup fell off of it's strap and onto Nick Prosevo though, that I remember. I think he contracted autism from that, or so the loud-mouthed girls in the class used to say.

One summer, while the whole class was in assembly, we all heard what was, with no question, Sebastian asking to be killed. Every child in the room grabbed a blunt object and started to beat Sebastian until his drool turned bloody.

We spent weeks in therapy, the lot of us, and then we were awarded with a citation for humanity. Looking back on it, it was a sort of strange thing being applauded for killing the retarded, but the girls seemed to like being with heroes, so we milked it pretty good.

I am not a fan of the new policies that integrate classrooms. Yes, it may help the special needs children feel like they are part of the school, but kids are naive and ignorant. Not a great combo when it comes to people who are different.

We agree. Insensitivity of children is a big problem, but the phrase "special child" should mean something: they require special needs. The examples of fat kids with asthma are not problematic, but in many instances these children require more attention than the average child, which draws resources and time away from the class, which slows down the class progression. Some are disruptive for whatever reason (more than the average child), and eliminate effective learning conditions.
 
last year when i was at my previous school i had one in my class on substance abuse lol. it was a fairly small school, the class had abotu 40 or so people in it, this kid couldnt talk, had breathing problems and would make all kinds of strange noises out of the blue like he was choking to death, and every so often would being to drool, His mother wheeled him into class every day, took all his notes for him, and spoke for him in class. (in between propping him up in the chair and wiping the drool off his face)

I'm sorry, but that kid is not getting an education- HIS MOTHER IS. There was no way in hell he was typing 8 page papers, he could type out a sentence in about 5 minutes on his apple laptop that was mounted to his wheel chair on a good day.

I must say tho, I really have to give those people credit, as much as i may crack jokes and shit- if that were me i woudl seriously kill myself. I get all upset if i'm out somewhere and have a nasty lookin zit somehwere or if my hair is all fucked up...i couldnt imagine being in that shape and not just obsess over killing myself 24/7.

it makes you really be thankful for what you have....
