[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 685623, member: 11791"] Unfortunately, "enlightenment" and "resources" do not, generally, appear in the same setting. Yes, the larger settings have more resources - and less enlightenment. If your needs happen to fit the supports they have available AND you qualify, great... there is lots they can do. Otherwise... it's worse than no resources. The smaller settings seem to have more enlightenment - and less resources. Having worked with both, I'm not so sure we were better off staying in the city because of the "resources" - which we didn't get much access to any way. To be accepted as a person is a majorly important thing. To have teachers who, as a group, tend to NOT be bullies, is huge. (We have a much bigger teacher-bully problem in the bigger centers, where they expect the child to be able to conform exactly to the teacher's way of teaching - with or without supports; if you can't do it, it's because you are lazy or stupid or both. Our experience is that at least half of the teachers in a large centre are bullies.) [/QUOTE]
