Hang on a minute. Where the hell does that leave them? You can't tell me that in the 21st century we've decided that it's not work attempting to educate people with intellectual disabilities.
Many intellectually disabled people have the capacity to succeed better than a lot of so-called normal intellectual levels.
Like you I'm not convinced of the success of mainstreaming intellectually disabled children. However, I have enough personal knowledge from family members situation to know that doing nothing isn't any better.
What are they suggesting instead?
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
