The depths of human cruelty never cease to amaze me.its not exploitative to get them doing something half way productive and they are tards, so they are dumb enough to want to, and be happy doing a job no one else wants to do

That kid knew exactly what was upWithin the current millennium.
I had a classmate with DS who was obsessed with professional wrestling. When anyone would try to make him do something he didn't want to do, he'd imitate the D-Generation X crotch chop gesture and yell, "SUCK IT!"
The teachers assured us he didn't know what he was saying. I am here to inform you that he totally did know and that's why he was saying it.
He was also highly food-motivated. On one particularly memorable Friday in elementary school, he refused to get up from the table at the end of lunch because he wanted more pizza. I'll never forget watching this kid get dragged out of the cafeteria by his para, crying so hard he had snot pouring down his face, crotch chopping in earnest and sputtering "SUCK IT!!!!!!" through sobs the whole way. It was spectacular.
For anyone not familiar, and because I still find this particular gesture absolutely hilarious, I've compiled some informational gifs below.
Blue’s Clues. It’s the same voice Steve used on Blue’s Clues in the 90s.Back to Chris, aka SBSK. Aside from his gratingly irritating tone of voice, he also has a stupid accent. I can’t place it. I figured only a Canadian could sound that dumb until he said he was living in Florida. I suppose he could be an ex-pat Canadian, but aren’t most Floridians from somewhere on the east coast? (Native ones sound southern.)
So what is that horrifying accent? Not New York. Not Boston. Maybe Minnesota? Or Maryland?
yes but sadly so many of them are not capable of functioning well enough so the job coach can fade away,Ususally there is a staged approach to removing support until they are independent at the job. And if they become and independent employee they ususally end up with the normal wages attached to it at least in the local businesses the voctech here was attached to.
Wrasslin is very popular among men in DD/MR programs.Within the current millennium.

If you consistently find yourself in positions where the SPED kids are being picked over you for minimum wage work, their diploma isn’t the issue.I was reading a bit back (as in, first few pages) and I saw it mentioned that severely disabled students will get handed high school diplomas just for showing up. How do you all feel about that?
High school was rough for me for many blogposty reasons, but one thing that always annoyed me was that kids that could not communicate in any way and would never be able to work a job (not even an aformetioned incompetent grocery store bagger) could get a diploma, but I couldn't just because I struggled in a single subject and attendance. Why the hell should you be awarded what is essentially your ticket to minimum wage work for just showing up? The parents just send them because it's free, government mandated daycare+physiotherapy+attention until they're 18.
In my state they give them a ‘certificate of completion’. It’s not a real diploma.I was reading a bit back (as in, first few pages) and I saw it mentioned that severely disabled students will get handed high school diplomas just for showing up. How do you all feel about that?

Holy shit. They had their own fight club.Wrasslin is very popular among men in DD/MR programs.
A bunch of college guys working in a Medicaid MR/DD waiver program in my college town got in hot water for basically allowing wrasslin night in the MR/DD group home. All the residents (men ages 18-40) were obsessed with pro-wrestling and constantly acted out stuff or imitated wrestlers. The protocol was to stop them and redirect but the entire evening shift became 19-24 year old guys who decided they should let them have their fun and would turn the living room into the ring and have Wrestlemania Wed.
It was actually pretty cool because the clients were perfect angels during the week so they could participate in much anticipated, but secret, Wrestlemania.
Went on for a few weeks but the weed smoking by the staff to get hype to watch Wrestlemania (and inviting some non-staff audience) got it busted. The group home members were gutted when it was stopped.
It’s a shame we don’t have something like the Japanese Dogleg wrestling here. I mean special Olympics is great but not for pent up aggression. Just like most other humans DD/MR people need a way to vent their frustration and some theatrical insults, pile drivers and suplexes on their fellow man seem scratch that itch.

As others have said, they don't get diplomas, they get a certificate of attendance, or some variant, that basically says they attended high school (usually until they age out well past 18 ). It's not equivalent to a diploma or a GED, it's just a feel-good thing. After that they usually transition into full time adult day programs, if the family/guardians are smart. Otherwise they sit around the house all day and that's when you get people like Chris Chan.I was reading a bit back (as in, first few pages) and I saw it mentioned that severely disabled students will get handed high school diplomas just for showing up.

To be clear the staff was smoking weed, not the downies/clients. The temptation for staff to get really baked before watching the guys go all Hulk Hogan was too great. Pretty sure weed was how Wrestlemania got green lit by staff to begin with.Rule #420 of downie fight club: don't smoke weed on wednesday.
I'm fine with this. They put in the time and completed their curriculum with modifications. It doesn't hurt me to give them the same diploma I got.I was reading a bit back (as in, first few pages) and I saw it mentioned that severely disabled students will get handed high school diplomas just for showing up.

My friend's sister (the one who was not retarded, just had DS, asshole) was very high functioning and sometimes her social fluency coupled with relatively poor judgement got her into awkward situations. I once witnessed the following conversation:To be clear the staff was smoking weed, not the downies/clients. The temptation for staff to get really baked before watching the guys go all Hulk Hogan was too great. Pretty sure weed was how Wrestlemania got green lit by staff to begin with.
Plus as long as they weren't doing anything too potentially damgerous I would think it would be good exercise for everyone.Wrasslin is very popular among men in DD/MR programs.

Kids with a 3.49 (meaning no special honor designations) could say the same about kids with a 2.0 ("I busted my ass and missed cum laude by 0.01 because x, and they barely got by/showed up...it's not fair we have the same diploma"), but them's the breaks.I was reading a bit back (as in, first few pages) and I saw it mentioned that severely disabled students will get handed high school diplomas just for showing up.
