it's my final year at high school (wooo hooo to seniors of '06!!) and i need a health class credit (the most BORING class EVER! but if you are new/freshman, try to get it over with ASAP!) so...i have health :P the thing is...there are two mentally disabled kids (imma abbreiviate it to the MDKs) in my class. no, that doesn't mean im mentally disabled...it's because everyone needs an education, esp. MDKs...anyways...on with my story..
today, the teacher was asking the class "what did you do this summer?" (i know...very elementary-type of question) and we went around the class...the one of the two MDKs got up to talk about his summer...the other one followed after...when they were talking, of course, their grammer wasn't the best...but while they were talking, i was quite amazed on how talented they were on talking...even though they were staring out in space... i mean, usually, whenever i saw a MDK passing by, i'm usually freaked out or whatever, which i feel horrible to admit, but when i saw them speaking...they are actually very intelligent...in their own way...it's interesting... most students are actually less intelligent than an everage MDK. how embarrassing is that? i was definetly one of the few who clapped after they spoke...i felt so proud of them... how do you guys feel about MDKs? you look down on them? <[edit'd] or you encourage them to become more skillful? i wanna know... |

There are different types of disorders...some types are where they can think just fine, just have hard ways of expressing themselves..I mean, they are people after all. Something has to be going on in their heads. You can't just label them "MDK"'s...because some have worse cases then others..
Actually. My best friend is in all gifted classes, except this one special ed class because she also has a mental disorder. It doesn't make her dumb.. |
