[QUOTE="Kathrine, post: 60222, member: 568"] On the other hand, it might help if you could find a school district with teachers who have an expertise in special education and can help you out a little more. My adopted brother was bipolar, obsessive compulsive, and was a slow learner. But they mainstreamed him and he did terrible in school. Teachers who have a regular teaching degree do not know how to handle special children. It's especially hard if they have special children mixed in with "normal" children. They don't get the attention they deserve. My brother was set up for failure from the beginning. He knew he couldn't compete academically with kids who had no mental illnesses, so he gave up. He was made fun of by the "smart" kids, and so he sought acceptance elsewhere; amongst the druggies and criminals. I firmly believe that special kids deserve special teachers and special schools where they can achieve their best. After all, we put gifted children in their own special schools, why can't the kids on the other end have the same consideration? I would check out different school districts and find the one with the best teachers who have specific training in handling special cases. [/QUOTE]
