What do you think happens to Kids with Learning disabilities? When I was in special ed class do you think we got helped? NoBack then the kids were doing time in the classroom until they turned 16 and droppedout. Sad isn't?

When I was in highschool I remember having one teacher who would actually do what was best for her students, and I did really well because I got help. In my other classes, if you fell behind you got treated horribly, they never tried to help; they blamed me for having a hard time. I would try and study and still fail, and you were ignored and treated like shit. You'd never get a second chance on a test, you'd never get the extra help you need. Public school systems sucks fucking ass. Period.
