Thank AS I don't go to school!

Post Reply New Topic

For some reason, I don't go to school anymore because I have AS. Weird, huh?

Was it your anger issues that were the problem or just that you were not getting the right teaching?

I wasn't learning anything, because the class I'm most suited to is also the worse. They made me to work for children! I'm 15, you stupid school! And I couldn't be in main stream because I wouldn't have been able to take it.

Maybe you could look into getting your GED, instead. That way you would get the challenge and stimulation that you need, instead of being forced to do the school work of a Mentally Challenged student. Just a thought.

What's a GED?

I find some teachers like to repeat themselves...
And take 4 bloody lessons to teach that heat is a form of energy...
Then refuse to beleive we don't need a billionth explaination...
Ok, going a little off-topic now...

I'm in a private school. I dunno about you. What school was it? If it was in Victoria I might know it... I know a lot of SDSs, grammars and public schools.

It's called Murray Bridge High School, and it's the only public high school here.

GED is a General Equivalency Diploma here in the States. I'm not sure if it's the same there. Here you have to take a test to get it.

I don't think we have that here.

Special ed teachers here are horrible.

Why do they even have special ed teachers for the average AS person. HEY, I had sensory issues to. LUCKILY not nearly as bad as some of yours, but enough to get a TASTE. It seems to me, they could take them into account with the WHOLE class! As for learning, so we might learn a little different. AGAIN, maybe they should take that into account. For any dyslexia, etc... can't they just concentrate more on such things?

ANYWAY, if you're smart, WHY put you in special ed?

And yeah, GED is a special test that will allow you to get the equivalent of a high school diploma. Some people just QUIT high school, and take it at their leisure. It isn't as well respected though. Not that a highschool diploma really is.

They have similar tests to get credits towards a college diploma, by the way.

I'm homeschooled at school after school twice a week for two hours. A bus comes and picks me up and I take the activity bus home once I'm done. How weird is that? But since I'm going after school (well, halfway through seventh period to begin with), they can't bash me on the dress code, which is really strict by the way!). So now I can still get the socialization I desperately need and see all my friends, I don't have to worry about tons of tests and homework, and I'm still able to get out of the house, yet sleep in all I want! Isn't life great?

I was in special ed. They didn't have a clue where to put me so they put me in a school where kids with downs syndrome and other forms of mental and severe learning problems went. It was a nightmare. I just read to myself.I learned so much more that way! Then they woke up and tranfered me to a vocational High school where I was top of my class, Until I graduated. I am so glad to be out of school though. School Is tough for Aspies! What a understatment though!!
