Where disabled students are treated like 4 year olds, usually turning them into complete idiots who can't do shit.
Dude 1: I was in special ed in high school for being just a little retarded.
Dude 2: So that's why you say stupid shit all the time.

1. What kids with physical, mental, and sometimes emotional disabilities that are severe enough to interfere with their abilities to preform in the mainstream curriculum are put in.
2. Where they stick you if you don't "learn" the way your supposed to. Students who don't learn by sitting in a desk and copying notes and mindlessly memorizing words are often put in special ed so that the teachers of the class the student is struggling in don't have to put up with the student. In these cases students are often put in a resource class of some sort were they are apparently taught how to learn properly. Some kids in these cases do have actually ADD or something like that. Kids in these kinds of special ed classes can actually be very intelligent.
There are different levels of special ed that range from courses for kids with severe mental retardation to courses with the regular curriculum at a slower or modified pace. A student can be in all special ed classes or just in a few and do fine in his/her other mainstream classes. Special ed shouldn't be in insult.

1. My younger brother is severely autistic so they put him in special ed. He's actually doing quite well now.
2. Teacher: Because you can't sit still for 45 minutes and mindlessly take notes on and memorize useless words every day on a subject you have no interest in without interacting with anyone or doing anything else you need to take a resource period now. You will learn how to be organized, complete homework on time, study, manage time, and write essays. You will also set goals for yourself, we have already set some for you. You will have a 45% more positive attitude and you will write down all your assignments 95% of the time.
Student: I actually dont need this, i know how to do that stuff. Its just that i learn a bit differently and you can't really change the way my mind works.
Teacher: Thats the negative attitude that you need to stop!
Student: *facepalm*

What certain kids are put in if they possess some sort of learning disability or disorder like ADHD. Oftentimes other students will think you are a dumbfuck or treat you like subhuman filth if they find out your in one or two of these classes.
Contrary to popular belief special ed classes are taught with the normal curriculum but are instead presented in a way that makes those in it learn better and easier. For the severely autistic or retarded kids, they are pretty much fucked.

If you ever see someone call you Special Ed that just means you're a R*tard, I know it may be harsh but that's the definition of it.
So the next time someone calls you Special Ed, say it back!

Where the teachers belittle you and talk to you like you're 3 years old just because you're not neurotypical.

Something that is offered in schools for kids who are mentally or physically challenged. Most notable special ed program is ASD, for kids with Autism. Special Ed classes are designed for people to be more self-sufficient and possibly lead an independent life later on. The classes are generally easier and are structured in a way so that people with special needs can understand the material needed to move forward in their education. They also offer Speech and OT services for people who struggle with social skills. Kids in Special Ed are often looked down upon, but in reality, they just want to be like any other kid. We should all learn to accept people for who they are as a person and include them into society.
Truth be told, I have been in Special Ed since I was in kindergarten. I was diagnosed with Autism when I was 2 years old. People said that I would never become independent and I would have to be looked after my entire life. My parents were also hopeless that I may never lead an independent life later on. It has been a long journey from when I was just a child, but it all paid off. Throughout my life, I was always seen as the "special kid" and I was sick and tired of it. I knew that I had great potential, but my parents, teachers, and case carriers didn't believe me, so I decided to prove them wrong. I kept pushing and pushing until I finally got what I wanted. Freedom. Back then, I could barely make sentences without other people telling me what to say. Now, I'm in high school taking 3 honors classes and 2 CP classes. It was a long and hard journey. I should definitely write this in my college application.
