A meltdown is a bit different as there is no conflictive functioning while it's happening, the person has no control over anything they do during that time
So you just have to sit back and watch it and hope the kid doesn't hurt anyone including you in the process?
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit
Special needs and slow learners are different. The "slow learner" category is full of kids who are behind for behavioural reasons or slight learning disabilities that while they learn slowly, they are still able to learn as much as the next person. Special Needs is a professionally diagnosed disability that significantly limits their learning ability, such as autism, global delay, tonic clonic, alcohol fetal syndrome.
The slow learner category is well over prescribed and in a lot of cases, a mask for real issues that are impacting on that persons learning.
This ^^^ (in red) i would swear that ADHD was a do-gooders diagnosis of being a little shit. My best mates boy , was diagnosed with this as a kid but you could see the changes in him if she allowed him anything with those colourings etc... she refused to put him on ritalin and with diet changes, he was just as good as the next kid. So in essence, he was just a little turd.
Obviously I'm not up with all "professional" mumbo jumbo = but surely having a label shouldn't excuse bad behaviour.

(probably a bad comparison I know but had to get a point across somehow)
So in essence he wasn't just a little turd, he had reactions to certain food, artificial colours and preservatives...
So once that was resolved he was Ok, so not just a little turd.
Our eldest son used to be a little pain when he ate preservative 282... cut that out and he was much more relaxed and mellow...
Nothing to do with Dad following Bradford City of course......

Yes. Took the class outside and closed the door to the classroom. Myself and my teachers aid took turns to watch through the glass in the door to make sure he wasn't going to do anything to hurt himself (they never do). I went in to remove things like scissors out of the room, but apart from that we just keep out of their way until it finishes. Took about 15 minutes for the worst to be over.

We have a similar situation at my work where we have lots of special need swimming lessons
Big risks involved when they lose their shit in a pool environment
Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.
You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

If you were to, say, mistakenly hit the forward button on one of those emails, perhaps type my email address in and I end up with the emails, would that be an accident or inappropriate?

In the interest of balance Boon, send an email of support for their decision to sponsor Port.....
