Reply to: Extra help for children with needs in Wales

[SimonMac]

My issue is the money is spent on the language, not on the children. Mrs-BP's best friend is one of the top SEN(sic) needs co-ordinators in the world and is writing to the Welsh Government about this.

When one member of the household has autism, everyone does.

At least I could persuade MF of this. I trust you are pleased to have shown yourself to be a worse poster than MF?

On second thoughts, is everything okay? Getting divorced again? If only there were posters round here who could help you through that....

I have two children on the spectrum, add a chronic medical condition to a 12 year old with Aspergers where we have to self medicate 10+ times a day knowing that we are left to our own devices to work out the dosage each and every time because it's never the same based on various factors, too much could kill him, too little the same.

When he made the transition to high school this year not once have did we tell him he is special, he is normal, just like his brothers and sisters, he can be a saint at time, he can be and ass at time. He just has some Additional Learning Needs at times

Oh really?



Seems to me you're just butting into a thread to level insults for no reason because I don't see any correction there. Presumably to validate yourself, like any other playground bully you just want attention and to feel important.
Do one.

No I am making fun of you because you are a feckwit. I reply not because like most people I don't want to get close to you but because you decided again to insult me.

You may think it is a waste, but inclusive language is very important.

Special needs has a very negative connotation and history of what the phrase means, how many times has it been used on these very forums in a derogatory way.

ALN just means that, it can be the dyslexic kid who needs a little extra time to read a question for an exam through to the other end of the scale with complex needs like MF's kid.


"I have two disabled children" and "I spent a small fortune"

No you have two children with disabilities, which they are not defined by. I think it is very telling that your post is self referring and makes you come across as an arsehole.

I don't follow you around I just use the same forum.


I will stop correcting your many errors if your delusions make you think I am doing it to make you interested.
Lets make this clear I am not.

Oh really?

Maybe you can get a card made up with that so people know when they meet you?

So back in the council bedsit?

I think you should walk a mile in his shoes before being so rude. Quite arrogant. BP may be an arse in many ways but it's clear his kids are not one of them from years on CUK.

Cheap shot.

Also... it'll only be a matter of time before ALN becomes the new 'special' and we have to change it again. As I said earlier, 'additional' is not actually an accurate term anyway. Severely autistic children do not need additional learning, they need different learning.

You follow me around from thread to thread, barging in to insult me for no reason. It's like a boy pulling a girl's pig-tails. I'm not interested thanks.

Please don't call people cretins as that does annoy me.

I have 2 disabled children. Just got a letter from the school(in Welsh and English as they have so much money to waste). To help children with needs the term SEN(Special Educational Needs) is no longer allowed. Now we must use ALN. Additional Learning Needs.

I spent a small fortune, and Mrs-BP and I spent years of stress, fighting for proper schooling . And they waste their money on this.

Will the English please come and invade and save us from the total shower of Welsh morons(all from the South I note).

I think they are relabelling again to attempt to stop discrimination, in the same way as they changed spastic, mongoloid, slow, and for the total feckwits on here cretin. However it is just dressing up the situation. Problem is people will now call such children additional, addys, needs or similar not 'special'. Just as kids called people joeys and spazzers when we were kids.

Reminds of the RAF calling Falkland Islanders Bennys after the Crossroads character, came from on high we were to stop calling them that. So they became known as Stills, on of the Orifices asked why " cos they're still Bennys sir".

Also my mate was strapping a crew into a phantom F4 on a live scramble and asked them if he could have their eggs if they didn't come back. They somehow lost their humour that day!

oh dear you think I like you, I have no idea how anyone with a normal mind could have got that idea.

You follow me around from thread to thread, barging in to insult me for no reason. It's like a boy pulling a girl's pig-tails. I'm not interested thanks.

[vetran]

This crush you have on me is a little creepy.

If we ever meet up I'll buy you an "I'm with stupid" T-shirt, hows that?

you will not even get the box.
Welsh govt proposed a M4 relief road near Newport in 1991 to ease congestion on M4 .
After endless meetings for 30 years , the plan was scrapped in 2019 ,because in 30 years cost had become too high.

Its a regular occurence. When buildings become derelict, the council still put limits on what developers can do. So when repair work starts the buildings collapse.
