Ugh people richer and prettier get all the perks already- people naturally treat them better- it is in our nature to like people who are attractive. But the special ed kids take a lot of crap all year- the little things they get back doesn't make up for the fact that many of them will never live independently, some of them will die before their teens, and all of them have been rejected by other children many times.

The rodeo guys realize these kids will never "really" be able to rope anything. Most of them could never ride a horse independently- and their roping efforts would be funny if they weren't so serious. Love may be unlimited but people sometimes forget to give it to people who are deformed, or drooling, or retarded. Many of these children are not cute and cuddly- they have gotten too big for that. We are lucky in that our son is beautiful. He gets treated better because of that. But in the real world he still gets put down for his behavior. We live our lives explaining to people why he is the way he is. As soon as people know they forgive- but people are unforgiving of what they do not understand. That's why special ed kids probably do need to be set aside and explained to people- in order to bring out the kindness of others who may not comprehend their disabilities.
