i grew up in New York Sate and Unfortunately Attended Special Education Schools for Behavior Problems When i was younger i skipped classes on a regular basis or not show up, my mother received letters and was taken to Court i Threatened both the judge and my parents i would Run away if i had to keep going. i wanted to be in regular school like everyone else as i was not Retarded unlike everyone else there after being put away twice in a group home i finally Threatened my mother to sign me out in 2004, when i was 17 years old. ( 9 years ago) i'm 25 now and have no regret or plan on getting my GED to get a high school diploma as i don't care because i cannot work and get Supplemental Security Income and Foodstamps, i did not quit because my Family's income or poor grades but because i was tired of being labeled something i'm not. in New York would my parents be Require by law to continue to stay in special education until i was 21, if i did not Quit school? just asking...
