I was in special classes for the majority of my time in grade school (K-12). However, I don’t have a typical learning disability. I have suffered from serious mental illnesses and have gone whole years without viable mental function. If I had not been in these classes I would have been marginalized beyond any fathoming and would have never succeeded. I almost dropped out of high school as it was, just because I couldn’t tolerate the environment. Now I’m at a four-year California State University and doing quite well. As for kids with the ‘run-of-the-mill’ learning disabilities, I would agree whole-heartedly with the first poster. There are very few legitimately diagnosed kids who can function to their fullest without some kind of help. Most will sink like stones without help. Some people may think they’re lazy or just plain stupid, but until these people can develop a proper frame of reference, they are not fit to judge how any of them stand.
