to sometimes hate the things people put on FB!!

[lisad123isgoingcrazy]

just seen this

" Children with
special needs don't have an illness, so there is no cure and it's not
contagious. They want what we all want, to be accepted. Most of you
probably won't copy and paste this. Could you do it and leave it on your
status for at least 1 hour? It's Special Education week, and this is
...in... honour of all the ch...ild...ren. They do not judge others, so don't judge them"

find these things so

Oh I hate these. They are usually put on by the people who know someone whos cousins uncles goldfishes grandma had xxx

There is one going around similar to that, but about knowing someone who deserves a punch in the face. Quite apt really.

yanbu
I hate them as if you don't do it, does that mean you don't care......
bit like a modern day chain letter

whats with the ch...ild...ren bit, trying to put it as slow, thats how i see it.

Yep, seen that one soooo many times :( Must be "special education week" all frickin' year!

I thought I might have been a little senstive but they drive me mad! It seems silly to post about accepting these with SN, if you did accept them for them, you wouldnt need to put up naff stuff like that right?

If they're really so concerned then why don't they do something that will really help, campaigning,letter writing,volunteering etc rather than post a pointless and patronising chain letter?

Acceptance is fine but our children need education and rights too ! These messages seem to make a bland assumption that special education is covered by having a 'week' about it.

I've just had this too - bit awkward as I don't have a huge group of FB friends and the woman who's posted it knows me and DS2 well, so will be a bit that I haven't copied and pasted it. But just too cheesy for me. And I hate preaching to people anyway.

Could you be honest with the friend and explain that although well intentioned, it is very cheesy ? But then we don't have all the time in the world to educate people either.

oh I hate them.
I also hate the ones that start" i loved you before you were born....." etc etc.
Yes we all love our children however we dont feel the need to post it on facebook.
I know-miserable cow that I am!
