Special education debilitates children from excelling. what do you think?
As a child I was forced into the special education system because I was bored with the indoctrinated curriculum. I was an enigma to my teachers and their textbook knowledge. I would ask questions with uninvited answers to what the government conceived as normal learning material. I always thought school was a waste of time and energy. As a child I was way beyond my years with inherited wisdom. I saw the world for what it was a distraction of time, even time is a man made theory. I would question why we spent so much "time" learning about other peoples history and why it was such a deciding factor to my future wellbeing. As they indoctrinate this material into our heads we learn the "normalcy's" of tomorrow, hence why history repeats itself. Forced into puppets the puppeteers trench forward into telling us that we have to learn this stuff to become "normal" and grow up to spend thousands of barrowed dollars for paper validation. Once my teachers caught wind of my un-conformist mind they sent me where I would become humbled before the whole school, special ed. I was mortified at the idea of going, seeing as how it was right in the middle of the whole school. I become humbled to my own inquisitive mind and began to hide behind the walls that had been licked by fellow classmates. Even though I only had to go there for one class I knew I had become ostracized from my friends. I was told that I could not be in the same study hall as my friends but had to go in shame to my "one" on one time. I loathed my teacher. I used to stare her down with my vengeful eyes. She would always ask me if I needed help with my homework or other "needs". In my mind I was searching for the reason to this condescending scenario that I had gotten myself into. After they forced me into this program my grades started to slip as did my yearning to go to school. This was not teaching me anything other than kids are horrible. I was teased and harassed., broken down by my peers my ego shattered onto the floor for others to stomp on. My friends became my enemies. The people I once shared a bond with knighted me a retard. I would run home to cry all alone in my bedroom. My home life was depressing enough with an absent mother and an abusive father. I had no one. Because of my current placement my whole world had become darkened with an abyss of endless tears. No light was to be found in my million mile tunnel. Long story short I begged to be homeschooled, and won the battle. I was self taught and graduated 3 years before my classmates. I met friends from out of town when I attended college. So my question to you is do you think that they should just get rid of this awful system so that children can excel with their confidence and not feel ostracized from their "community"? Should we continue to let children be ridiculed by classmates into thinking they are nothing of importance? What are you thoughts? Do you have a child in special ed? If you so you might want to consider future consequences.
