[QUOTE="Malika, post: 685662, member: 11227"] The problem wasn't the kids - it was the adults (who should know better :-( ) ! J has some lagging skills, we might say, but he is still a child like any other, does not need a full-time minder (following him even to the toilet!!), can go on trips and go swimming like any other child... I really got to hate this British double-speak that makes out they include and help special needs children but actually just patronise and marginalise them much of the time. These kids don't need to be made to feel like freaks - they need to have their talents and abilities encouraged, as any child does. The lack of sensitivity was just amazing... they had a period in this school when they would only let J come for half a day - and made him leave at 1, just as he was in the middle of playtime with his pals... I then had to deal with his anger and upset - as I had to deal with his anger and upset over not going swimming, in particular. Of course I am no fan of conventional school anyway so... [/QUOTE]
