Meiolyn was one of the first people I met here and is a gorgeous girl. She is very funny.
She used to be the youngest member here and she was zany, funny, flippant, and full-on but not mean-spirited. She may come across badly but I hope if she does come back that you will not judge her harshly off her one badly written post

And yes, I agree on the issue of derogatory language. the main point of the post stands as being well spoken.
I believe in full mainstreaming, with assistance from trained professional teachers as Aides. Hire one-on-one Aides and get these guys in to classes that will challenge them---in a way that builds their confidence. Dismantle Special Ed. for all but those truly needing it.
My opinion. There would actually be MORE jobs fro Special Ed. teachers who are qualified, not less. They will be working with mainstream teachers. More would be necessary to implement this task, but it could work.
All the best.

Dismantle special ed? Forget about those of us with learning difficulties..?
Sorry, I don't agree with this. I don't believe full mainstreaming is the "best path."
ATM, perhaps you can keep in mind the opinions of those who struggled in school, as I'm not just talking to a brick wall, here. My voice wants to be heard.
ATM: Well put. I will try to formulate a better opinion. It will be one that is a fluid model, taking in to account a lot of variables. "Dismantle" is too harsh. However, in your case, my opinion is that you never would have needed Special Ed. Other forms of academic assistance would have suited you better.
All the best.
