Are Schools Too Protective Of Kids?

Once again, like always, you're changing your argument because you're full of shit.


My point was that they categorize them and lump them all together and make them feel like they can't do things that they can.  I realized that this girl had function of her hands and that she was at least mentally aware of what I was saying and comprehended it.

Or the teachers are like you and just assumed that it would and never took the time to realize that she's not as bad as they think just because she technically has Autism.

That's my point that they label them from the start.

And why would she have freaked out?  When kids press it, they keep going and don't even realize that they made a mistake, which I politely tell them how they messed up or just fix it myself.

My point is perfectly valid.  Just because a child does something once does not mean they have mastered the skills.  It could have just been luck.

Because they get anxious.  

And your point is nowhere near valid because I didn't say she mastered any skill, I'm saying she was able to accomplish a simple task.
