BTW Bob,
I love the pink hair. I wish I had the guts to do that, but ahhhh....I'm too conservative for such thing, but I think deep down inside I'm a wild woman!

I loved the video!
I felt many times like a Kangaroo in school. My parents made sure I didn't give up. I would never have graduated with my class without them.
The message is what I always say, We are all different with different personalities, talents and limitation's. We all should be valued in our society.
I dyed my hair black, ash blonde, and red when I was young. I was a teenager when I had dyed it black. It was horrible! I have brown hair with red highlights.

Excellent video. I wish all the teachers at my kids school could see it.

That's really nice, and it's EXACTLY why we chose to home school all of ours. Group schooling situations, public or private, have to be designed to accomodate the "average" child . . . who doesn't exist.

Back to the original message.........I really liked this presentation and decided to share it with our special needs support group only to be bashed by one of the members. It seems that she felt the author indicated the fish needed to be in a special ed classroom and this woman was livid. Oh well, so much for sharing.
Chris

Chris, can't win for losing sometimes, can we? LOL! I swear, some people live to have their buttons pushed. She needs to be reminded that IDEA offers parents the right to have their children in all day special ed if that is what they feel is right for THEIR child!! I didn't take it as a blanket statement that all kids in special ed belong in all day special ed. Sheesh!

It used to be that kids with special needs HAD to be in all-day special ed. Now, the schools tend to feel they're failing somehow if the child isn't in SOME sort of "inclusion" setting. I took this to mean that it's OKAY if your child needs all-day special ed. You don't put him in a regular classroom just because it's the trendy thing to do right now.
