Yes true, but then, it wouldn’t be nice to exclude an discriminate againt those who can’t do much. When I see others in this situation its easier to think they deserve support, but when it comes to me I feel I deserve none of it.[/quote]

Right, it would be great if we could all afford to be nice to each other, in a perfect world everyone would get the help they need, but the real world doesn’t work like that. If extra resources are allocated to the disabled, then less resources are available to allocate to those who aren’t disabled, which means the average standard of education is diminished, and those who graduate from our education system are less able to contribute to the economy.

Applying the law of diminishing returns this eventually means that there would be no money left to pay for education for anyone, disabled or not.

Taking from the example above, if someone has dyslexia or an autism spectrum disorder, they are going to learn things and process information differently from people who do not have these conditions. Thus, the educational system was (perhaps poorly) constructed to help people learn in the ways that they learn. Testing is another example of they way that the educational system is set up for people who learn in one manner. Not everyone can take tests… even some people without disabilities, who are perfectly capable of acing a test, do poorly on tests because they don’t process information that way.

Anyway, a society is only as strong as its weakest link… a society that works to support everyone (fairly) is the ideal. Unfortunately, society is made up of imperfect people and those people sometimes take advantage of others, or pretend that others don’t exist so that they don’t have to deal with them.

Bottom line: everyone should do what they can to help others, disability or no, and be more tolerant of differences.

No. If they CAN’T read, they shouldn’t even do the exam -.- Yeah, they have a disability but it doesn’t mean that they can get more than they deserve.
It’s just unfortunate for them.

what is monetary?

“Yes, disabled people should get extra help in lessons by Teacher Assistants (not the actual teacher since he/she needs to help everyone else) but they should learn and not receive help in an exam. What’s the point of getting extra help if you get helped in an exam?”
In a way I could agree with this but it varies really. If a person is dyslexic and can’t read and someone else reads the questions for them I think it is fair.

Disabled kids in the school I go to, abuse their ‘priorities’. They accuse people of bullying and what not, of course teachers believe anything since the person is disabled and are considered innocent. Disabled people are also favoured by teachers, they get good reports and awards even if other people are better than them.
I get told off for merely not holding a door or waiting for a disabled person to pass when I’m getting LATE for lessons. Seriously, it really pisses me off.

I’ve grown some hate towards disabled people, not because they’re disabled, but because of the idiotic way other people treat them, in school.

Call me sad or what not, but hey, it’s how I feel.
