Excuse me, but I do NOT wear my disabilities on my sleeve. What I have been saying is a very integral part of any discussion of home schooling. I am responding to people who think that schools do a better job with kids who have learning disabilities than home schooling parents can. This may be true for SOME PEOPLE, but it is not true for everyone.

To say that simply by offering a different perspective based on my own experiences, I am wearing my disabilities on my sleeve shows the kind of ignorance that I have been talking about. To think that I should not be able to offer these perspectives without being accused of wearing my disabilities on my sleeve suggests that the person saying that would prefer people with learning disabilities to just shut up and accept whatever we are told. That's an incredibly patronizing and self-important attitude.
