oldtimer - firstly stop printing in capital - that is shouting and is rude on the internet.
I have been advised I should try harder to communicate with you - so I shall.
You are not making sense in your posts. Try harder to explain - and before you post read it out loud. Pretend you don't know already what it means - try to deal with it as an outsider ok?
Everyone is different. What is your point.
This is a society - made up of many differing people but we all need to get along in the social groupings that make it work.
The needs of the population must be considered when dealing with things like education. There must be some form of order and control or only the "special" children will get any kind of education and the "normal" kids will end up left behind. Kind of like what has been happening slowly over 30 years now.
The US, Canada and UK have been slowly regressing educationally until now the second and third world excel and far exceed anything we get out of it. Most of the newer scientists, doctors and thinkers in general are not coming out of the traditionally western world. We have to wonder why.
We cannot let this pendulum swing so far that the majority of kids get the minority of care while the select few special-needs kids get the preferential treatment.
Remember I was one of those kids. I would not have changed the treatment - the kids need an education - all of them.
I am visualy disabled. Capitals make it easier for me to read. Education needs to realize todays grade level expectations are rediculous. No person is ready to do anything at the same time. I just feel kids grow up fast as is and are being forced into styles that don't fit them. Se has risen and soon some will not get help cause the Govt. wants only severe kids to get SE help. Our se director even told me this will be the case. What will happen to ld kids then. They will quit school. The researcher my mom went and listened to says this type educational system is designed for girls. He is adhd himself. Dr. Dobson says the same to. Boys need to do hands on ways. We need to have a 3 ring way to teach use all 3 learning styles. My guess this is away to cut expenses for Govt. This saddens me cause we as a society will pay for a bad system. Kids are angry cause the expectations are much harder than we went to school. Some parents can't even help the child at home. Look at the stuff your child is doing in each grade. It is more advanced than in the 70's.
