[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But back then, teachers weren't expected to differentiate instruction. They taught one math lesson and that's it. Yes, we did have reading groups back then but I think in my ES classes, we had 3 groups. Our teacher would read a different story with each group and then send us back to work on the questions at the end of it. [b] Somehow we all did just fine[/b][u].[/quote] The reason you say that or think that is because kids like my son - who struggle with learning disabilities - were completely ignored and pushed aside, and thought of as somehow undeserving of an education because why on earth would the county spend money to educate a child who would forever be "dumb" and "stupid" Back then, if a child had LDs they were not even remotely challenged to rise above, try hard and achieve beyond what everyone thought they were capable of. Either they "got" the material or they didn't. If they didn't, they were held back, made a mockery of, their self esteems were trashed and they ended up in low-paying hourly jobs for the rest of their lives. THAT IS WHY you think that "somehow we all did just fine". You idiot. [/quote]
