I find it disheartening and even appalling that an educator could say something like that… especially since I am going into the field! My youngest sister has a mental disability, and yes, even though her achievements will not be as substantial as someone who is not disabled, they will still be substantial to her and to the rest of our family… especially when she graduates and walks across the stage with her diploma. Also, the education programs they get differ a lot from those in a ‘normal’ education program. For instance, at my sister’s school 3 out of her 4 classes are about living in the real world, and the one that isn’t about the real world is an art class because she is very creative and our parents, as well as her teachers agreed that she needed a creative outlet while at school.
