when special ed was still a new thing

 when I was in special ed kids of all ages were in the same room. 5 year olds with 12 year olds. each age group had their age appropriate lessons. 

as usual i got in trouble if i finished my work before the other kids.

it always seemed that anything could get us in trouble. if was said we had to go to the bathroom and it was a false alarm we were put in the corner,we we told if we dropped play dough on the floor we get a spanking,if we dripped paint on the flooe we get a spanking.

the bad times stand out more than the good times.
