Special needs and slow learners are different. The "slow learner" category is full of kids who are behind for behavioural reasons or slight learning disabilities that while they learn slowly, they are still able to learn as much as the next person. Special Needs is a professionally diagnosed disability that significantly limits their learning ability, such as autism, global delay, tonic clonic, alcohol fetal syndrome.
The slow learner category is well over prescribed and in a lot of cases, a mask for real issues that are impacting on that persons learning.
This ^^^ (in red) i would swear that ADHD was a do-gooders diagnosis of being a little shit. My best mates boy , was diagnosed with this as a kid but you could see the changes in him if she allowed him anything with those colourings etc... she refused to put him on ritalin and with diet changes, he was just as good as the next kid. So in essence, he was just a little turd.
Obviously I'm not up with all "professional" mumbo jumbo = but surely having a label shouldn't excuse bad behaviour.
Surely if you can teach a dog not to pee on the carpet, then you can teach a kid that it's wrong to trash a classroom, or hit other kids etc..
(probably a bad comparison I know but had to get a point across somehow)
So in essence he wasn't just a little turd, he had reactions to certain food, artificial colours and preservatives...
So once that was resolved he was Ok, so not just a little turd.
Our eldest son used to be a little pain when he ate preservative 282... cut that out and he was much more relaxed and mellow...
