[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 170214, member: 1233"] Teacher, Thanks for writing in to us. This is a huge injustice, and I hope that by next year it is corrected. I hate the hypocrisy and lies that allow this sort of obscene abuse of kids who are different from the regular kids. I honestly think many of them, even the ones with learning disabilities, are smarter than most of the "regular" kids. And the kids at the alt school work so much harder to graduate. While I know that prejudice and racism are alive and well in my town, I do know (because I checked) that kids from the alternative school ARE allowed to go to the graduation and to any school sponsored parties, proms, etc.... At least that is what the board of ed says. I refuse to talk to the principal of our alternative school - she is NOT a decent person and I know too much about her. But I also know kids in our alternative school. They ALL received invites to the festivities and parties, though many chose to do other things and they have their own parties and celebrations also. It takes a LOT of guts to stand up against the school system you are teaching in, especially in such a public way. Please let us know if we can help you in any way. Hugs, Susie ps. I am sending a private message to you. [/QUOTE]
