Learning Disabilities - Hope Never Dies

[59jjflash]

There is no hope for these kids,if they can't learn the regular way it should not be the schools problem,these kids will never be able to go to college or ever have a real job.

They are a waste of taxpayers money.

[doulasc]

@59jjflash I do not appreciate your comment.I had LD. I passed my GED I have had the same job for 20 years making 50K a year,I drive a car.So excuse me for living,I hate ignorant people like you

[myXusername]

Two points I have against their program. 1. They are an "institution" in an age where inclusion is becoming the primary goal. 2. The biggest one: the way she TALKS to those kids! The kids she's with are clearly 9 or 10 years old. I don't care if they have a learning disability, they should NOT be talked to like they're BABIES. That's talking them down and taking away that "hope that doesn't end". "He's a friIEND" Somebody slap her.

....hope.....shit....you in fantasy land or something?

[doulasc]

Fine,I have a learning disability and maybe I should have been aborted and have no right

to get married and have a family.A reading specialist told me to give up on myself.

Why don't one of you come and take my life

since I have no rights.

[trexpaddock]

Yeah, hope never dies, if and only if you rich and can afford special schools, and tutors, and learning aids. If you are not rich, sorry about your luck.

[199tinkerbell]

Learning disability is a lie from the commie teachers unions and school boards.

[TheKiemaster]

@199tinkerbell Damn stright teach me more.

[SVSilent]

Shut the fuck up before I abort you..

[cloud8762]

I agree with you.

[drtgreatwhites]

Hope Never Dies.

[doulasc]

I went to a special school for kids with LD

(1973-1978) and was told to give up on my self after the school told my parents

I would be helped.Then I was told I am there because I could not be helped.

I went to community college and took a

reading improvement courese and when

the instructor found out I had LD. She told

me to give up on myself, I was wasting her time and mine.Was that right?

[freetothinkify]

I kept asking to drop out of school to get a job, but they wouldn't listen to me, and I was trapped because I was an LD. I'm really average, but I'm supposed to be above bc of my IQ. It's frickin' ridiculous. Of course, anyone can improve at anything and basic life enjoyment and functioning skills should be enhanced, such as reading and basic math. I would have laughed at her and her job. Community College is to better the community. Doesn't she know that?

[socks12ful]

@doulasc That is not right. I think that if you want to do something regardless of your disabillities, I say go for it! :)

[doulasc]

@socks12ful You are right,:) :) :)

[mizzasberry]

For learning disability kids, If you need hope, just ignore people who make fun of you. Then you are fine. Once you see them laughing, it is their own problem which is from devil spirit. You're a brave angel!!!

[queengirlb1]

you are a blessing

[miguelcotto23]

isnt this kind of an exucse for speacial ed teachers to sit bac in there lazy chairs while there union keeps supporting there lazyness!

[lol0924]

Try considering that special needs are truly needed any kind of supports will make them feel like 'We so want to learn so many things' or 'We so want to help for the world we have lived so far'. I believe a lot of special ED teachers have been striving to give special needs 'so much feeling' like they can do what they are wishing. Hopefully they would be like friends for special needs as well so they can feel happy with living in this world.

They are not supposed to be lazy or something. ::(

[199tinkerbell]

They are lazy and they dont give a shit about kids cause there commie teachers unions protect them

[lol0924]

I have stroved to make myself so far as 'a person filled with the joy of knowing so many things and feeling so many new things that he or she has never run into.' Always this sort of 'education video' is so important to give so many hopes to all people who are having so many hard lives. Yes to open up for what they want.

[mymulatto]

I was in special ed class and i have a special ed diploma , wonts i got out of school i was stuck at home doing nothing playing the computer all day know iam tring to get my ged. special ed is a wasit of time you end up at home with no job and money.

[doulasc]

So a special ed diploma is a certificate of completion and you can't move on with it?

[Kwstar1]

Yes kids can be so mean and not understanding, but someday they will see what it feels like to be teased, NO FUN!

[kiddlyjesus3000]

my parents was also told i had autism for a there but they found out i was mostly shy and could stay the words i wanted so the did the speech theropy and i struggled with reading and writing and math in school but thanks to a few teachers that took me a side and the resorce teachers i graduated in the top 20 of my class in 2004 and i am now writer a poet for God so i know resorce classes help a lot
