Did this help me in anyway? F*ck no, it was just the school board's way of telling me I'm a f*cking retard and they didn't want to have to deal with me.
I agree with boobs in this regard, isolating kids who may need special attention and giving them 'special' activities and a 'special' teacher just separates them from 'normality' and shoots their confidence down. They need to be integrated and included in the classroom as a whole - given the same learning opportunities as everybody else.
