Special Education WHAT????

What exactly is special education anyway?

I have covered for absent special education teachers and to my surprise have met highly functional students who can think, reason and grasp academics like regular students in regular classes.

I think schools label certain students as "problematic" when they are not in need of such programs. There are students who spend their entire school journey in special education courses without a need for this program.

What is special education? Who needs it? Why?

Students who are academically slow, students with emotional problems or BOTH?
