[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a  bunch of dishonest fear mongering. I'm a mom who volunteers a lot in my kids schools. One of my kids has learning disabilities, they are mild. In 1st grade there was a mom who was so angry that a child with disabilities would be in her child's class, that she pulled her daughter out to homeschool her. She told me to my face that her kid shouldn't have to be in class with mine. My kid isn't intellectually disabled and doesn't have behavior issues. That shouldn't matter any way. You all are that mom.

You people who hate kids with disabilities need therapy.[/quote]

It’s not fear-mothering to discuss the routine violence occurring in ES classrooms everyday. My kid is a moderately intellectually impaired but follows directions and particulates as best as she can. My husband and I can’t send her to public school because how is she going to interpret other kids throwing chairs, punching their “friends”, or kicking the teacher? How am I going to explain to her that so and so just has trouble controlling their feelings? How is she going to learn anything in a classroom that has to regularly be evacuated? How is she supposed to understand what to do or not do during Code Red? And God-forbid she gets smacked in the head with an object and they make her intellectually disability worse. How will I even know how she’s been hurt if the school doesn’t tell me? Do you see how these children with severe behaviors are disruptive to everyone? This is not about discriminating against SN. It’s about taking action against mayhem and violence. [/quote]

Which you exaggerate at every turn.[/quote]
