AZ says
As a person with a disability I would rather learn something at school and be board and serious then have fun and not learn anything. I think all kids given a coice would chose this. You attend school to LEARN not to have fun

You do not need to be a kid to have fun
So like I said earlier I went to the Science fair at my school on saturday. It was a family fun day. I was really looking forward to the hands on activities, the only problem was that they were geared for kids. Now originally I was supposed to go with LM but that did not work out soo I went with my mom. My favorite room was the Chemistry room where I learned about polymers. One of the stations was making bouncy balls. It looked like a lot of fun only the average age was elementary school age and it was crowded. My mom told me to do something else, We left the room but I came back to make a bouncy ball when my mom was in the planetarium show.
The moral to this story is that adults can have fun to. I am 21 but I still like mario Sora Riku from the Kingdom Hearts Series. I love hands on stuff, despite not having good fine motor control. I want to carve a pumpkin this fall and over the summer I wanted to light fireworks on 4th of July . The thing is for me I wish that people were able to shat dissipate this I am still smart and enjoy discussing politics and all the other things that come with being 21.
When Finding Nemo was in 3D last month, I went twice and you know what when there was a couple around my age, or older, that was there and when I told my classmates in American Literature class about my time with Nemo they said that they wanted to go as well. Now I do not think this girl has a disability and really having fun as an adult should not require a disability. Yeah I know that their are parties and other stuff that most young adults like but you know what right now that is not my idea of fun. I would rather play mario or go to Disneyland and you know what its fun and thats what really counts.

Why I stand with Henry
Soo if you are on facebook and into the disability u might of heard of a kid named Henry. Henry lives in florida and is being home school by force. The reason is he can not go to the local junior high because he has some disabilities.
The school does not have a right to keep him away from his neighborhood school. People say that that he needs to take a test to prove that he can go to school. I find this funny because no one else has to take a test to go to public school. Its a public school not a private school. Why force him to take a test this is not right education is all about learning and all humans can learn.
I could say wow I am so glad that I do not live in florida except This could have taken place where I live because schools around here are not that inclusive in fact I know the only reason that I was able to go to public school was tthat I did not have an intellectual disability. I have CP My In fact there is a private school that is inclusive in our area. Thats right there is a private school that does what the public schools should be doing.
I stand with Henry because I know the benefits of attending the neighbor school amongst peers. I stand with Henry because I know that he deserves the same high exceptions as his class mates. I stand with Henry because I know that he will need to interact in a world where there are people without disabilities. I stand with Henry because he deves a chance to achieve his dreams. I stand with Henry because he should have the chance to be involved in after school activities and dances if he wants to. I stand with Henry because I know that good education allow him to have a rich and full life.
Henry if you ever read this I want you to know how much I admire your determination to forge ahead, Never give in. I have heard from some parents around here find it hard to pave the wat in terms of inclusion. Never give in. Never take those tests. You sshould not need to fight . I hope I can meet you one day
