Originally posted by Piggle HumsyYeah, I feel bad for him. The school system wasn't right for him at all, but our school didn't give a shit about anyone with issues that weren't easily categorisable. They basically just left us to it, and more than often it went badly wrong.
That's seriously awful.I feel sick.
That poor boy
Originally posted by Piggle HumsyI just generally disagree with the way that most mainstream schools are run, to be honest. I got pretty average to shit grades in school, then in college they realise I have specific issues with certain parts of learning, but it was too late by then to correct. Most schools basically just focus on their top per cent, and sod the rest, and that's not how the world works.
That's why I want my autistic godson out of mainstream school.My autistic cousin goes to a special school and is really thriving now.
I want that for my godson.
Originally posted by SlaySee! ****ing bastards just don't understand balance. Seems to be the same problem here, tbh. Uni is a massive step up, and most other students are really struggling. I get good grades, but I waited a few years between college and uni.
I always had good grades but I never had to work for them. Then when I went to uni and actually had to work, I just couldn't. The public school system failed me by giving me too much praise.
