Too many times teachers are setting up kids to fail-putting trick questions on tests, making students read it themselves, instead of listening to a story (as a punishment), not giving more time, and sending them out of class if they are not learning the same way as others. Too many times general ed teachers want to know what label the student has, w/o wanting to know how the student learns in that class, or at that time. We need to move towards understanding the different variations of learning, regardless of a label on a legal document, and we must learn to teach to these variations in inclusive settings, preferably co-teach. Then perhaps labels could be temporary based on the particular need at the time; Some will change over time, some will not.
