I'm a Junior in High School. 17 years old. I've always been a nice person, smart, and never get in trouble. At school, special needs kids are able to go to classes with normal students, but they have to have a teacher by them. Over the years, this has been making me very annoyed.
Back in 7th grade, there were 2 special need kids in my science class. 1 cried non stop, and sat right behind me. The other one was fine, except for his random words he'd say very loudly.
In 8th grade, a special needs kid (that isn't even special IMO), had a teacher that was a dick. Every time I said something to someone, she'd yell at me, and send me to the principals office. She got me suspended once because I told her she is here to help the special needs children, not people like me. Now I know that's a dick move, but when I'm annoyed I'm a bit of a douche.
In 9th grade, I was in u.s. History and we were told that we could pick partners for the huge project. I am against working with partners though since I tend to do everything. So I decided to work alone, then, a special needs kid walks to me and says if I'd be his partner. I respectfully said, "Sorry, I want to work alone." For about 2 weeks people thought I was a jerk for saying that, until it faded away.
This year, there's a huge increase in special needs kids. In the hall, there's a kid who will just shove everyone out of the way and shout at everyone next to him. He shoved 7 people into the wall today (I see him about twice a day shoving people in the hall).
Another kid, that is in 2 of my classes, steps on my shoes constantly. I always take care of my stuff, my shoes are $325, and got them 2 weeks ago. He stepped on them with his steel toe boots and ruined them (no joke, they're dirty as -blam!-, and some of the strings are torn). I told him to knock that off but he still does it.
Today in my foods class, the teacher paired me up with a special needs kids. We had to pull the recipe up on the website, the special needs teacher (that was there to assist the kid) told me to do it on my laptop. Everybody in the school gets a Google chrome laptop ($200). I bought a computer to do software programming while at school. My computer is $1176.99. And I never let anybody touch it. I said to her if he could do it. But apparently my computer is the only computer on the world and she said to use mine. His worked fine by the way and had 60% battery life. So we use mine, and I said to them, don't touch it, don't put a drink by it, you can only read it. The special Ed kid thought I was joking and put his hands all over it. I told him to stop, and the teacher freaked out at me. She told me to go in the hall with her. So I did, and she said to me, that's just because he's different doesn't mean he can't touch your laptop. I kindly told her that I didn't want it to be touched because of fingerprint marks and the fact that others don't care because they didn't pay for it. We went back in and my computer wasn't on the desk where I had it, but instead by the -blam!-ing sink. I went to go get it and of course, there's water on it and all around it because he was doing dishes and splashed water up there. I noticed some of my keys dont work on my laptop, and that my touch screen was not very responsive. I told him, when I take this to geeks squad, and if they can't fix this. You're buying me a new laptop. The teacher told me that it's my fault for bringing the laptop in the first place. And that he doesn't owe me anything. I went to geek squad, and they told me that it will cost $327 to get it all fixed and it will take about 2 months. Are you kidding me?
I now am done with special Ed kids and their gay teachers. Some special Ed kids are fine, but as far as the teachers, I haven't met one good one. They act as if they're better than everyone in the room, even the main teacher. I think special needs kids need to go to a separate school. Not a high school with thousands of other kids. Now I know that sounds rude, but I honestly think it'd be better. Some kids bully special Ed kids. And some special Ed kids are a big distraction in class. What do you think?
Edit: just bought a new Nike Air Max 2015 for $218, hopefully those don't get ruined xD

Some mentally disabled kids should have different section in the school. Physically disabled kids shouldn't have to though.

3 RepliesThere needs to be a both option. As an advocate, someone who works with special needs kids, it really depends on the children. I think being in an environment with "normal" students can be great for both the special needs child and the classroom. It can teach a lot of lessons. However there are children who have severe enough disability that a large environment like that does them no good. All in all, saying yes or no is closed minded. Embrace the fact we are all different. We are all human and we should treat each other with respect. Oh and OP is a fgt

kid that purposely scuffs new shoes or shoves deserved to be throat punched, special needs or not.

1 ReplyEdited by Aliam: 3/5/2015 6:51:12 PMIf that was my laptop I'd completely refuse and wouldn't let anyone use no matter who they are. I'd say to the teacher "look it's not because he's different if you asked me to let anyone else touch it I'd still say no. It's my property and I make the rules of who and who doesn't use it." I wouldn't care if I got in trouble I wouldn't let a soul touch my shit. That laptop post made me angry at the teacher.

No, I don't think special needs/disabled people should have to go to a separate school. I have a sister with Down syndrome, and I know it would only make her feel lesser than everybody else. I have had special needs people in my class, and I know, their really annoying at times, but I do think they should not be aloud to be in normal classes.

You see, in the UK, we don't have these sorts of problems. [spoiler]Kek.[/spoiler]

Tell me about it! This one special needs kid is a Nintendo fanboy, and that's ok, but he says "you are going to buy a Wii u because its the best system" I told him everyone has their own opinion and he FLIPPED OUT. He was crying and saying Mario is the best and Mario was better than anything. He also makes loud noises and he yells AGHHH! In class all the time and annoys everyone, he is OK, but he gets annoying sometimes. Another kid has to leave class 2 minutes early because he doesn't like crowds, he speaks with a slur and speaks quietly, he said something to me but I couldn't hear him, he then screams and says "why do I have to repeat myself to someone like you!?" That made me mad. I kept to myself and said sorry. Then another special ed kid wanted to be in my math group, we had to accept him. The teacher said the winning team in the competition would win chips and a drink. We all did our best and helped him, we tied with another group and the teacher said one candidate from the group should go up and see if they can solve an equation before the other team, guess who wanted to go? He didn't even solve the equation, he wrote "pass" on the answer. Then a group of special ed kids walking through the hall were screaming "MEEP, HYEEEEE FWAHHH JURRRRRP HEEEEEEEE GAWWAHHHH" no joke on what they said. They ran off and a teacher thought it was me, I explained that it was them and she eventually saw them, but she was ready to call security on me. That's my story, not as bad as yours at all. Sometimes they get on my nerves.

4 RepliesEdited by ThyLordIntrovert: 3/4/2015 2:44:45 PMBetter idea, we send all the guys who have that air of "assumed superiority" (every school has them, you know what I mean) to their own school Edit: phone died before I could finish, fixed now

1 ReplyIve had simalar experiences with a SN teacher getting mad at me for stupid reasons
-
3 RepliesYes anyone who gets lower then 80 on more then one test should also be sent to the special needs school
-
The aids of these SN kids are really the difference between this is so annoying, and at least this SN kid isn't disrupting class. Their was a really strict aid at my school for a few years and whoever she was handling, they barely acted out. We just need an army of her and well be good to go
-
That's why I go to a school where a test is required to get in. It weeds out all those "special ones."
-
Of course they should have a separate school at the very least a separate class. They need a different learning environment and more help than people with out these disabilities.
-
1 ReplyWell, if they go to a normal school, they should have a separate class/group that those kids are in.
-
10 RepliesYep, I agree. And that story about your laptop? That's beyond stupid.
-
4 RepliesI agree
-
It sounds like your problem is the teachers themselves. You have to think of them like children, if you let kids do whatever they want the kids will destroy everything. The same goes for special needs, so your aids are not nearly firm enough to handle these kids.
-
I would like it if they did. There's a girl at my school who has some pretty bad autism. She screams all the time and has the mind of a second grader.
-
Thank you for speaking out for countless people who have had bad experiences with special needs kids
-
1 ReplyYay someone who agrees with me!

The real problem lies with the Aids who are supposed to keep a leash on the special needs kids but dont and instead act as if they have authority over the non-special needs kids. The parents also send them to school so thay way they get some reprieve time from their child as I imagine always having to deal with them is horrible. I remember once at high school this special needs kid ran across campus screaming a dirty diaper after having escaped his aid in the bathroom. I still don't know what to think of that instance.
