To anyone who want s to read and maybe respond
I was just curious and thought I'd post what I was thinking.When people post something and go back to it several times and never see a response to what they have posted, it might give them the idea that thier idea or story or comment is bad or unread,and may make them feel bad.I know with myself,it's really disappointing to not get any feed back at all.It would be nice even to get a response telling me that my idea has problems or something. 

Anyway I have a few story ideas but can't seem to figure out how to write them or I just don't know how,so I would like to give some if there is anyone interested.So if anyone is interested or knows of anyone that might be please let me know,THANK YOU

          Our special needs children work as hard if not harder than any other students in school. They may have to take a different test in high school then others because they cant do the regular test, But the test that they do is as chellenging to them as the test others have to take. They deserve to get a diploma.
          A diploma should be for all that complete high school with passing scores no matter what the test is. The special needs child goes through the years of school that everyone else does and some go even longer. A certificate of acheivement is good for things like seperate classes, A swimming course or cooking course. Not getting a diploma feels like a punishment for their disability and is telling them that they are not equal. We try to teach our children that everyone should be treated equally, so what is this showing them?
          This is not just felt by our children. It is also felt by the parents of these children. We work hard taking care of our kids and giving them equal opportunities. We would like to see that what we and our kids go through is for something big. We also deserve to see our kids receive a diploma and enjoy it with them. The diploma could say "modified diploma", but it should still be a diploma.
          There are many kids that get a diploma and they dont do anything with it. Therefore; this cant be an argument if one thinks that special needs children wont do anything with their diploma. I, for one, see many people with disabilities go out and work just as hard as their classmates who get a diploma. Most of them dont even complain about it or tey to avoid it.
          I see special needs people go through special olympics and earn a medal and I see the joy it brings to them. I beleive this should be their joy, to go through high school and earn their diploma. They worked hard for it and they deserve this honor.
