Is your special ed class like this?

Post Reply New Topic

I never had Special Ed.

I had Speech and Occupational Therapy.

Also I had resource freshmen year of HS and now (Senior year HS)

they didn't give it to me sophmore and junior years.

I have always been in regular mainstream classes and it sucks it seems I am not special enough It actually because I can read and talk Well of course I can I am in the 10th grade.Or hold onto facts about history So that makes me normal I know dumb aint it they should see me in math class it makes wanna ram my head into a television.

By the rate this thread is going, maybe Alex should feature this on the front page.

I was in speech therapy all throughout elementary school, but there were only 80 people in my grade at middle school so there wasn't any alternative classes or anything and just me and a couple others ended up having to spend our "advisory" period (last half hour of the day) getting all of the our teachers to sign our agendas to make sure we actually wrote down assignments. I think it was meant to deter us from not turning things in, not actually very effective though.

I'm not really sure what the special ed classes at my highschool are actually like, but I've come in late (multiple times) and seen a couple of autistic boys and at least one NT being instructed on wiping tables in the cafeteria. I don't really understand what that's all about...

i agree with the below

I wish it was like that at my school! In my special ed class it was just like he described, everyone lumped together.... I must say it was absolutely hilarious, however. I just kind of sat there and watched as the special ed teacher faught to keep the classroom under control... you had the ADD/ADHD kids sneaking around the room trying to find ways to cause trouble (such as turning a sink into a water catapult), then you had the few AS students sitting around scattered, as well as some other disorders. The only other special ed solution is for people with severe problems, who get escorted around by a special ed teacher. In all honesty, the special ed classrooms at my school are just a place to put the kids with disabilities so they don't cause distraction... they don't know what to do with us, so they just stick us in there with a very unlucky teacher.


school was a complete nightmare.. boring...

I was in a special ed class for 1 year (when I was aged 11-12).

Most of the kids in the class had behavior problems (some of them would go into uncontrollable rages and throw things, punch holes in the walls etc).
There were a few kids in there who had languaged based 'disabilities' and some others (like me I suspect) had AS or other non-languaged based 'disabilities'.

The teacher really had no idea how to teach a class, let alone a class with kids who regularly start fights and continuously misbehave!
There was a therapist who came into our class twice a week and the whole class did 'group therapy'.

I was so greatful to finally get out of that class the next year.

I never got to do group therapy :(:(:(:(

Now to the schoolwork part, this is sometimes the work (which I still don't know crap about:)
