[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am physically disabled person from birth. In the 80s when my mother went to register me for kindergarten at our neighborhood school, they refused to agree to put me in a mainstream classroom and wanted to warehouse me in a separate building with all "disabled kids" as in physical, mental, developmental, behavioral, all together aka special ed.

You know who would gladly take me: the three private schools in my town. So maybe OP privates are more inclusive than your preconceived mind thinks. Spend a lot of time with disabled people?[/quote]

See this is the problem with using catch all terms like disabled and special needs. Your physical disability should have nothing to do with your ability to learn and behave in the classroom. You might need reasonable accommodations if you can't run the mile in PE for instance. Kids with ODD however are being grouped in with disabled and a lot of these kids just cannot function in normal classrooms. We had a kid who would tantrum and throw things.

I'm so sorry that they were trying not to mainstream you. :([/quote]
