-- Posted by jamesish at 11:50 am on Aug. 26, 2008 I've noticed two so far at my school.  Im happy they did that no discrimination act.  What do you think they study though? -- Posted by Joep0113 at 11:51 am on Aug. 26, 2008 I think they should have their own special school -- Posted by GOREGASM at 11:51 am on Aug. 26, 2008 I'm pretty sure they can study what they want, so long as their not a pair of vegatables. -- Posted by dpade1337 at 11:53 am on Aug. 26, 2008 whatever theyant, disabled people can do most things...just not jobs that require heavy lifting I guess...It depends on the disablity. They can be designers and mathmaticians and scientists and musicans.. unless they are mentally disabled. That sometimes puts a cap on how much they can understand. My brother is mentally disabled and he sorts paper and does beach clean up and lives outside my dads house. He pays rent and owns a cell phone. He just can't drive so he takes the bus. -- Posted by Sunshine Buddy at 12:00 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 No idea, I know nothing about them. I'm disabled and I studied the same as everyone else in my school. Infact I studied more that most students being in top sets. And Joep, you need to know what you're talking about before you even think those kinds of things, never mind voice them. -- Posted by breannafhchick06 at 12:01 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 at my school they have their own classes -- Posted by jamesish at 12:12 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 2:51 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I think they should have their own special school That would be discrimination. -- Posted by Joep0113 at 12:23 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:12 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 2:51 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I think they should have their own special school     That would be discrimination. which kind of disabled? -- Posted by jamesish at 12:26 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 3:23 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:12 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 2:51 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I think they should have their own special school That would be discrimination. which kind of disabled? mental defect and wheelchairs and that sort of thing. -- Posted by Joep0113 at 12:32 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:26 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 3:23 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:12 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Quote: from Joep0113 at 2:51 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I think they should have their own special school          That would be discrimination. which kind of disabled? mental defect and wheelchairs and that sort of thing. Mental problems = Dif school Physically disabled = no discrimination -- Posted by The Samsoniteman at 12:33 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 Allocating "special" (for want of a better word) schools for people with disabilities is not in the least bit discriminatory. They exist for people who, for a huge variety of reasons, can't get educated in a mainstream school. If someone who has a disability can attend a mainstream school then good for them, they should. If they can't then it's fantastic that we can offer them quality education tailored to their needs rather than restricting their development with an oppressive one size fits all approach. As for what subjects they study, how the hell can we possibley guess? Ask them. -- Posted by SpM at 1:45 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 There was a girl with severe mental disabilities at my old high school. They spent thousands (probably hundreds of thousands) of pounds building ramps and  a system of lifts so that she could get around, and she simply wasn't capable of understanding the classes she was in. Her mental age was that of a small child. It was just ridiculous. -- Posted by Erin15 at 8:31 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 I am physically disabled, and I take normal classes, of which I do rather well in. -- Posted by musicfan3 at 4:56 pm on Aug. 29, 2008 Quote: from Sunshine Buddy at 12:00 pm on Aug. 26, 2008 No idea, I know nothing about them.

I'm disabled and I'm taking advanced classes. -- Posted by sdkarr at 11:48 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 my school has alot of special ed kids. the whole school is really supportive of them. their special olypmic meets are a big deal -- Posted by shy depressed at 1:30 pm on Aug. 31, 2008 honestly i dont think they do proper gsce but get some qualification in eng maths and sci. they learn in another part of the school but are still in the school -- Posted by masterflyjflex09 at 11:17 am on Mar. 6, 2009 I'm in a wheelchair and I do the same classes as the rest of the students. Theres no reason for me not to. -- Posted by jamesish at 3:57 pm on Mar. 6, 2009 Quote: from masterflyjflex09 at 2:17 pm on Mar. 6, 2009 I'm in a wheelchair and I do the same classes as the rest of the students.

Not that kind of disabled.  I thought I made that clear. -- Posted by MasterFlyJFlex2009 at 2:48 pm on Nov. 23, 2009 They can study whatever they want as long as thier mentally and physically able.
