Special Education and the Importance of Non-Public Schools
Alluding to my post yesterday, this is something I happen to disagree with Jonathan on, although I agree with him in defeating neurodiversity. I believe every autistic child should be placed in a non-public school, separate from the general population. I know that might sound like genocide, but I experienced it first hand, so I should know. I was in a non-public school for seven years, and it worked wonders for me. I would not be who I am today if it was not for that school. When I went to a public school last year, I had so much social anxieties I had to leave midway through the year. I now will not be attending college for that very reason. I know Jonathan did not have a good experience at a non-public school, but we must consider that he grew up in a different era than I did, and times have drastically changed. Jonathan also grossly misinterprets the IDEA act. That act is meant to keep kids in public school, which is why I am against it. Jonathan is against it too, but for the wrong reason. So, if you have an autistic child, and are deciding between a public school and a non-public school, go with the NPS, because your child will like it better.

What was the difference between your non-public school and your public school? Lots of non-public schools have things in common with public schools. Even Catholic schools can be public schools in some countries.
"In a non-public school, there is no pressure to act normal, because everybody is special."
There are lots of non-public schools in which students still are pressured to "act normal" b=y other schools: private Catholic schools, private schools for other religions, private "prep" schools, private military high schools, etc. None of those are public schools.
" it receives government funding, because nearly all its students have IEPs and have their tuition paid by their local school districts"
Government funding and having tuition paid by school districts is what makes public schools public and what makes charter schools public too.
There is always normalcy no matter where the location and population focus is, moron.
If you have a special-ed school, with all special ed students most of whom have a low intelligence, normalcy would be to not be smart. But then you have somebody with Aspergers who tend to range from average to above average intelligence, who is only there because of other issues outside of academics because the public school isn't taking care of what the student needs.
So then this intelligent, special-ed student, in order to to fit in with the normalcy of the culture of the non-public school, would fail miserably to meet his potential and do dumb things outside of class just to fit in with his classmates.
John, you can alter the normalcy, and slightly modify the pressures of people and children by moving the location and skewing the subjects into a slightly different ideology, and fortify the setting with ways to decrease the amount of pressures and make them less stressful, but it is impossible to eliminate these things, and this is dangerous in the long-run because these proposed non-public schools are incapable of fulfilling these impossible goals will then cause the students to have a false impression of the real-world that they will enter either upon graduation or when their parents/ guardians pass away.
Is that what you want Best? or would you rather just make it quick and exterminate everybody who isn't pure? I guess you're lucky that you wouldn't be a victim of your own hatred and genocide, because you're pure... shit.
Neurotypical means what is typical of the setting moron, if the typical student at this non-public school is well below average-intelligence, than neuro-typicality in that setting is below average-intelligence, and pressures anybody not at that standard to be pressured to look like they're in that standard. And there's no way that you, an Aspie would enjoy that setting, we are an intelligent type, and we value our intelligence and are rather arrogant about it, there is no way that you would enjoy yourself in a non-public school, because you would want to be with smarter people.
There is a lie somewhere if not throughout all this bullshit here John.
Oh and you know my name, you know damn well, John. I'm pretty sure you remember the name of every person you defame and call a "future serial killer."
As a man who knows what he's talking about in both matters you are discussing. Just like your alterego John Best, it isn't the fact that you have Aspergers that is preventing you from getting laid, it is the fact that you have a piss-poor attitude towards everything that you can't get laid.
There is no cure, and besides the point, even if you did get cured, you still would be incapable of getting laid, because you wouldn't have cured your piss-poor attitude, and still would be a piss-poor loser living in a trailer park in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
One more question: I thought you can't stand fantasy, John?
I don't believe you're somebody whom you're not. You're John Best Junior.
If by roses you mean your bullshit, Johnny, then I can tell you that I have already smelled them, and there is no way I'm buying them from you, definitely am not giving them to my girlfriend for her birthday in 2 weeks.
I meant reality as well. By your roses, I meant your reality, and by it being bullshit, I meant that your reality is bullshit, because you are a lunatic, Johnny.
nope just you trying to prove a difference, johnny.
As you know John, being the moderator of Hating Autism, that I do comment all the time, just to express the message to you, even though I know it won't be published
School districts don't pay for tuition in schools that aren't under their control. If it's not a public school, it's not under their control.
