Thread Name: BS: assaults on teachers
Subject: RE: BS: assaults on teachers
ReelBrew, as someone who had special needs that weren't addressed when I was a child (because nobody knew about them then), I can tell you where they were when you were in school. They were (like me) the kids who were being made fun of for being different and maybe a little slow. They were the ones who all of the other kids thought were "dumb" and the teachers were pissed off with for not "trying harder". It took me the better part of a lifetime to figure out that those people were not only just plain wrong, they were also profoundly lacking in compassion.

We get enough misery just having our disabilities. We don't need people like you judging us on top of it.
