They stuck me in special ed back in the day cause I was impossible to control and one of the teachers once tried to tell me I needed to respect my father because he'd given me life and I tried telling her over and over again that I'd never even met the man cause he bailed when I was a baby and she wasn't having any of it.
I think a lot of special ed teachers are probably just morons who aren't fit to be anything but babysitters.
