You should think of what you

You should think of what you are writing and what an impact it can have on people. My daughter has autism, she isn't severly autistic but it does affect her with even the simplest of things that people take for granted. My daughter is 8 years old and can't tie her own shoes. She doesn't get extra money spent on her at this point because the school district decided to put special ed kids into the regular classroom. So while your kid is sitting there patiently, wanting to learn more,,,the district places special needs in there and expects the teacher to teach at the special needs students level. Would you really want this to be the case?

What if your child lost his vision...Then what, would you want the school to pay extra for brail on all of the assignments. Oh and to pay each type of teacher to go for education so they can teach properly? I don't want pity for my daughter because I do know that things could be a lot worse. And I hope that you never have to see a family member deal with a disibility. I wouldn't change my daughter for the world. But I do expect her to get a good education. Just as you expect your regular child to.
