So I'm a discriminating pig. So what. Well, guess what those fuckers up in parliament are doing now... "a complete overhaul of the Tasmanian education system" (or maybe even national... I wasn't paying THAT much attention) and now they want to let the 'special' kids back into the classroom with the 'normal' kids. Category A students back with the norm. Well, I see troubled times ahead.
So what's the difference between a 'special child' and a 'gifted child'?
Well the answer to tha question is pretty obvious, I think.
But now they want to mix them all together again, and I know that this will not work.
I for one wouldn't be able to cope having one of those 'special' kids in my class.
When I was in grade 6 (I would have been 12) I was doing a performance for the Barrington District Choir called Kidsummer Nights Dream (the name is irrelevant...) and we did, oh, 5 or 6 performances(?) and on the last one, the Mersey Heights school for the 'special kids' came to watch our performance. The sad thing is, along with the Mersey Heights kids, there were a couple of local primary and high schools that came to see it as well (why they made high schoolers endure a childish crappy play like this is a mystery to me), but throughout the entire thing, the 'special' kids were doing all their retarded grunts and yells and screams and whatnot and always just being a general nuisance. I know, it's really mean of me to be such terrible things, and yes, everyone deserves an equal oppurtunity in life, but it's really hard on the kids who can actually USE the education that they're being given to be 'distracted' and generally annoyed (yes, I said it) at the fact that they have to be slowed down by these special kids being stuck with us in the same classroom. Truth is, most of them aren't even on the same intellect level as us. And what good is the education doing the terminally braindead ones anyway? I can hardly see a wheelchair bound autistic or spastic person going for an all important job somewhere.
Granted, there are functional mentally handicapped ones, but I feel that the ones who are incapable of processing the information they're being given are just a burden on us all.
And call me a nazi, but I seriously think that these people should also be sterilised, or at least stopped from reproducing unless it can be proven that the child will not be a further problem for them, as it's obvious they probably aren't suitable parents. I once watched a documentary about people with downs syndrome going to discos meant for these people and winding up having babies, and noone wants a new society of mentally handicapped people. I know, I'm sounding really cruel, but it is true. It is distressing for most people (including myself) to see these people going around, and if the fucking government would hurry up and get over this whole euthenasia bullshit --:
(refer to post entitled 'The human race is a plague - then there's amimalia!... Exra Terrestrials... two cents for everything')
[off topic but still relevant: it's ok to kill animals for food and put them down to 'put them out of their pain' but we can't do it to ourselves even if the suicidal one gives consent, yet no consent is given from animals? What the fuck is wronf with them?]
:-- it would probably be a wise idea to identify these children as they are when they are born and even put them down, call it cruel but it saves them and us a lifetime of frustration and pain. But your argument to me could be "why don't we just test to see if they will get cancer when they get old and kill them when they are kids", but truth is, they still have a life, a normal, full, independent life ahead of them. People who are born and are to rely dependent on care for them for the rest of their lives should be 'put down' at birth. Less taxpayers money is spent on their care, less is spent on trying to accommodate these people, and the parents then won't have the pain of watching their child get even sicker or dying from their illness after getting attatched to them later on in life.
But back to reality...
If we put them into our classrooms, it's obivously going to not only distress other pupils, but also hold them back. They will obviously want the 'special' kids to participate just as much, and that will slow things down. My prediction is that if these people are put back into the normal kids' classroom, there will be evidence of a crumbling somewhere, I don't know where, but noone will benefit, except the special kids who will probably just get a 'better chance'.
I liked it when I didn't have to talk to them, or watch them in my classroom. I feel uncomfortable around them, I feel obliged to feel sorry for them and I feel really nervous when they try and talk to me, and I'd rather go through life not having to meet people like that. They were doing good in the classroom meant for them that is facilitated for them. They were getting the attention they needed, and if they are put back with us, we will have to remodel the whole education system to let them in, it's fine as it is. They learn what they need and we all know the ones who stay in Devonport will end up working in Devonfield anyway making park benches and apple crates, or the really reatarded ones will just stay at home their whole lives being spoon fed and getting their asses wiped for them.
I ask why... why do we have to let them in with us... it makes us feel uncomfortable and it's going to open them up to being discriminated by sick fucks like me (hey, I can't help it).
I honestly think we're being too 'tolerant'. We're getting soft.
We need to realise that not everyone will be capable of living their own life.
Call me a sick person if you will, but that's the way I see it.
