Well, obviously, we need to revoke the visa of this doper asshole to land at KCI.
You're either very smug or you don't get it. Which?
Very poor taste, Kendall, I'm surprised at you. You should delete it immediately. It wasn't funny. It was journalistically reckless and reflects badly on you and the Pitch. You should be suspended for it.
I happened to have earned a NY Film Festival Medal for my SpEd coverage back in 1980. Sadly, things have not changed since the Feds mandated that handicapped children be brought out of the corners into the light of education. Wheelchaired kids, learning disabled, even severely multiply handicapped children deserve an 'appropriate education'-- so said the 94th congress.
But school districts HATE that because one on one education is expensive and schools have managed to provide cookie cutter classes, hoping all kids wear standard sizes. It was never so. And so parents have even with the federal mandate, always had to fight for that 'appropriate education'.
They might wish these children would go away... but PUBLIC schools have to accept them. What should we do with handicapped children? We, for the grace of God, didn't have one of these high maintenance kids?
Who will decide when some handicapped learning-disabled kids can take a good place in society... IF they are specially taught. But what about the severely mentally handicapped, where education isn't about algebra, but about wiping after going poddy? Schools teach all these things. They deal with kids as they show up at the door. But schools don't like one-on-one children....because they are expensive to teach. It doesn't really matter what school administrators think. It's the law of the land. Sadly parents have to push for their children's rights...for parents are childrens' only advocates when budget-conscious schools tend to resist.
Silly, but nicely done.
I think you misunderstood anger for ignorance. Even the best and the brightest have a good rant needing to come out once in awhile. I follow the chuckmeister and he's written some essays that would impress you. Moreover, your post, soviet may have been more civil, but it frankly is a bit light on insight. Even in chucks's rant, he shows he has an understanding for the manipulation going on by people of color in America. Not all, he paints with too broad a brush but you don't have to turn over many rocks to find slugs.
His anger was not aimless. It was probably drunken. What's your excuse?
