You get to live a healthy disability-free life while these people with "not even major disabilities" have to spend their life in a wheel chair with down syndrome and another is mentally disabled.

These "privileges" you're talking about are things that these people literally cannot do on their own.

This thread is disgusting and it's a shame that you were raised this way.

Establish wrote Privileges?

They're born with disabilities they will have for the rest of their life. There's a reason why they need help, because they can't do what the average person could do on their own. And they will never be able to, because they were born that way. But yeah, they're the ones that are privileged.

Sigh, people these days.

I think he dould have expressed himself in a better way and you are taking his words to literal. What I mean is, when he means these so called priviledged he means them not having to do work in school, which I would have to disagree with him on this. Just because they have someone else take down their notes and stuff doesn't mean they have a privilege it just means that they cant do that on their own because of their disability, its not their fault or anyone else fault that they were born with that terrible defect. The way you are saying this sounds like you think that they are getting by without doing nothing, I could be interpreting it wrong. But if you really think you cant handle helping them anymore you should really contact administration again and maybe express yourself in a different way, I have no clue what you told them before and I have never had a problem like this so I wouldn't really know what to tell you.

Now with that being said, I think the school isn't really doing their job. I have a younger sister who has a mental disorder. In all the time that she has been attending school she has always had her own personal assistant who will help her with everything, which means her assistant will help her right down the class notes, agenda, homework all of that. I really dont think that a school should leave those important duties for a student, they should have an adult to do that. I'm not sure what type of school you are attending but if you are under age I would suggest you bring your parents in to your school to talk to administration to change things. I have to say from personal experience, it is hard to deal with someone who has a mental or physical disorder it can be frustrating at times, but I really think you could have worded things differently. If you continue to help the students, I would suggest you have more patience with them and maybe do things differently, but thats only if you consider helping them.

First off, I'm 100% sure the school is not FORCING you to help them in any manner at all. You're doing that all on yourself.

Okay so basically, I'm ranting on the privileges people with disorders get. In my AP Calculus class, I have to take care of TWO people with disabilities. It's not even major disabilities! One has to be carried in a wheel chair and has slight down syndrome and one has intellectual disability. I have to right down notes for them, carry their books which has caused me to be tardy to my next class four times and I have explain to them what my teacher is explaining.

This isn't just World History or Biology, this is AP Calculus! How am I supposed to take care of myself and two other people in the class when this is my MOST important subject. When I say, "Hold on let me finish a problem" or "Wait, let me right this down", they complain an I get fussed at for "being disrespectful" or being a jerk.

They have classes at my school for people with disabilities so why are they in an Advanced Placement math class!? I am on the brink of a C in that class because of this.

I tried talking to administration but they think I'm being rude or think I have all the time in the world to teach these kids when I'm being taught myself.

This is outrageous! I'm not a special ed. teacher so why am I teaching?

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Are you serious right now? People with disabilities have every right to be in AP classes, just like you. You are basically saying that just because they are different from you, they don't deserve to be in advanced classes. This reflects your work ethics with other people. When you get a job later in life you will have to work with people that are on different levels of intelligence. Some will have disabilities. That's just something you are gonna have to put up with. You are at an advantage with this, because you are getting more help from this. You helping, and teaching other people is statistically proven to help you memorize and learn things better. You act like it's a major burden for you. Why? It's not like being late to classes will effect you. The teachers will be aware of your situation and understand. The fact that you think they shouldn't be in advanced classes just because they have a disability shows that you have a lot of growing up to do before you graduate. College will open you eyes and show you that your narrow view is wrong. Everyone has the same equal chances at education that you have. Don't be so ignorant.

I was raised to carry my own weight not everyone else's. Is it my job to worry about others in a class this important?

I'm not being ignorant! There are classes for people that have mental or physical disabilities. My AP Calculus is not only math but more essays than anything. If you'd see the work, you'd know what I'm talking about but since you don't, I can't/won't hold that against you.

He is at school to learn, he shouldn't have to take care of someone. What I am about to say may seem crazy but, it's not his job. That is like going to a retirement home to see someone and a worker comes up to you and ask you to watch someone for a few hour's and they don't give you a choice.The school should actually hire someone to help the special need's student.


If he volunteered to help out that would be different, but from what he said that doesn't sound like the case.

It's not that they're forcing me, they just try little to no effort to change it.

The way I got into this was that one day Eddie(the student) was absent and when he came back, I offered to give him my notes from the chapter before and my teacher paired me up with him to write some of his work he didn't understand and now it's me helping bring his books to his 4th period class and having to type his essays(not write, he does that himself).

Someone says one thing 'kinda' bad about disabled people and you all jump on the SJW bandwagon.

The school should hire people to deal with the disabled. Not get a student to do it.
That's it, end of story. That's how it is in every school or college I've been to, and that's what works best.
Trained people, not untrained students who have to focus on their own studies too.

He's a horrible person for not wanting to help disabled people at his school when he doesn't and shouldn't have to?
When was the last time you volunteered [he's not being forced to but he's doing it anyway] to help someone disabled in this capacity?
You hold the door open or push them up a ramp and feel like Mother Theresa.
But you probably wouldn't have to because they have trained people looking after them most of the time.
You're all a bunch of hypocrites.
