I was born a child with additional needs. When I was age 9 (1993) and in my fifth year at main stream primary school during a parents evening my teacher told my parents not to expect me to get any standard grades (exams we sit in our fourth year of secondary school at about age 15). My parents took me out of that school at the end of the year and moved me to another main stream school. They were afraid that as the teacher did not expect me to pass any exams when aged just 9 that the school would give up trying to teach and support me. |

We have a special needs grandson and he goes to the annex of the local secondery school. They mix with other kids at breaks and often have inter school activities |

In my experience it has always been the so called smart kids that picked on the special needs kid or the sporty kids that picked on them....and then come rewards time at school they get rewarded as they bought the school high marks or sporting awards...meanwhile the school give face value to caring about the special needs kid. |

I think the request to copy and paste is because it is copied from facebook. But yes the message is very true, children with special needs are just children, they should not be treated differently. |
