Scott, intending to be argumentative, but detracting from the
discussion:
===================
Oh, what great socialization that is. So the rest of the class

follows the
teacher at the front doing their Grade 12 lessons, and the kid at the

back
sits in the corner with a TA doing his Grade 2 lessons. Yessir, that

will
develop a profound mutual respect and open up all sorts of social
opportunities.


You're the only one making such a suggestion, and it's demeaning and
bigoted
of you to do so because you use a blanket characterization (and a
largely
incorrect one at that) to disparage all disabled students.
======================

I think *everyone* knows exactly what KMAN is talking about. There's
nothing at all disparaging about his suggestions as they pertain to
individuals with profound intellectual disabilities.

Actually, even mild intellectual disabilities (which usually means a maximum
IQ of 70, IQ not being a great measure, but certainly good enough to explain
why they are not going to benefit from a curriculum designed for those of
average intelligence).
