Can There Be Humor in Special Education?
Are the kids tired of their Christmas toys yet? Are they picking at each other? Owly with cabin fever? Are you counting the days until school starts again? Do you need a good laugh?

If your answer is yes to any of those questions, this might be a good time for you to check out the most recent Wright’s Law newsletter. It features the lighter side of special education in four humorous articles. You’ll find them at www.wrightslaw.com.
Is This Appropriate?
If you think humor and special education shouldn’t be hangin’ together, consider this advice from my dad. He spent the last 38 years of his life in a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis. When someone asked him how he could be such a kidder in his circumstances he said, “Well, I can laugh or I can cry. I have more friends when I laugh.”
Thanks for the advice, Dad. I try to follow it at least once a day!

WOW yes those are pretty funny… and sad… and infuriating. I’ve been in that little plastic chair at the center of the horseshoe table with the IEP “Team” on the other side. I hated it. I’ll never do it again. This is why we homeschool, and our son is doing much, much better since he’s been out of school!
Glad you liked the posts, Dawn. I spent 25 years teaching elementary school, sitting in those plastic chairs. They were murder on the back, too!
