Education

the gifted status, leaving only the behavioral exception. They lied to me and said their new special ed school would be a therapeutic school with many programs to help the child. But they put my child in a separate school for special education kids and it was nothing but a babysitter and a boot camp with minimal learning and no other activities. They treated the kids like they were stupid and bad. They tricked me into believing that it was my child and not the school who was the problem. Later I found out they were taking a chunk of the special education money and putting it into their beloved sports programs. Basically they were warehousing special education kids and using the money for pet projects. They failed my child epically! This is what’s wrong with the schools. They’re taking the money and not using it all for the kids who are supposed to have it. Then they complain they don’t have the resources to deal with these kids. To add insult to injury they allow bullying of these children to go unchecked. And then we wonder why there are school shootings.
