Are Kids Stupid?

I work in a Special Education room. Some students I feel were misevaluated because of behavior and not academics. I don't consider emotional impairment a disability. I think it's another name for temper tantrum.

Learning Disabilities

Students are treated differently from the "normal" people. For instance,using or seeing too many words at one time causes the mind to shut down. Students have to take information in smaller portions. Some students depending on the severity of their disability may need one on one assistance.
