This country and the states spend MILIONS on special education children and behavior disordered children.
Most of these children will never be accountable for the money that has been spent on them. They won't be able to handle a regular job. They won't be paying taxes. THey will probably be on some type of government program for the rest of their lives.
The government forces school districts to spend this money on them while the regular education child gets textbooks, supplies, and other things cut in their classroom.
I know this post is going to anger many people here, but what I say is true.
In the future when other countries have more intelligent people than we do, we'll realize that we have been dumbed down by rules that should be modified.
HOW DARE YOU .
I pay taxes as well as anyone elese that works. My son deserves to have schooling as well as anyone elese. I DEMAND good quality schooling for my son just like I do for my daughter.
HOW DARE YOU say who will or wont grow up to have a Job ect.
It's a sad day that we have to FIGHT to the nail to get our special needs children in a good school and around teachers that won't abuse them.
HELL it's sad that we have to fight for ANY children to have quality schooling with good teachers.
My Husband and I both pay taxes just like anyone elese.( which pay for the schooling) We don't live off the state and the state does not take care of my handicap child.
Matter of fact we had to move to a town that is way above our income just so our son could have a school that would be right for him. 3 times our income in fact. My husband now has to work 3 jobs just to give our son the same chance as other children receive. My daughter btw was treated very well at the other school in the city we used to live in ( she is not handicap)
We should not have to worry about our handicap son's coming home in a Skort( a skirt that has shorts under) being tied down to a chair with a sheet if he repeats a naughty word from another student or teacher( he could not even answer questions just repeated what was said to him) being not feed as the teachers are eatting his lunch and being left in a ball pit all day because THEY don't have faith in him.
BTW we home schooled my son until we was able to find him a new school. He now talks
Eats normal food ( not just a few things) and walks with and withOUT his braces. He can now use a modified walker and answer many questions.
Not bad for a child that was at one time 1 pound 10 oz . Not bad for a child that is Blind in both eyes, has Cerebral Palsy and autism. Not bad for a child that all teachers gave up on.
Atleast I can now say he is in a very good school that loves him and makes sure he continues to learn everyday. A school that see's that no child should be given up on ( to bad I can't say the same for you)
I will fight everyday of my life to make sure my child has everything he deserves . He has a chance at life.
OH and I guarantee you my son will have a job one of these days and he will leave a mark on this world that most will never forget.
I have and will never give up on my son.. It is sad that most of the world has
