[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 401741"] My impression of Special Education being the "slow kids" was the same, because that's how it was when I was growing up. My understanding of those kids and what Special Education covers has expanded a lot over the intervening years, to encompass everything from dyslexia to kids like ours and (in kiddo's school at least) the physically disabled kids and kids for whom English is not their first language that need some extra help. They may well have the same impression from their own days in school. You can educate them or tell them to stuff it and do what you feel is best for YOUR kid. They don't live with him, they're not responsible for him, and their currently unenlightened views shouldn't hold your kid away from things that could help him. [/QUOTE]
