Answer 1

No, you are not stupid. first of all, "stupid" is not a mental health or behavioral health diagnosis. It's a demeaning term which has no proper usage.

You are getting extra help. It's okay. Everyone needs help with something at one time or another. You should ask your guidance counselor about why you are there and listen carefully to the answer.

Remember, Einstein wasn't well-liked either. He was considered weird. Beethoven was deaf and composed his best works during his deafness. Edison had socialization issues and a poor adult homelife. Nobody has it all together, that's an illusion. Try not to fret. I'm sorry kids are cruel and mean. Karma will teach them later.

Answer 2

You are not stupid.  Being in special education just means you learn differently than most people.  Just because you are in sp. ed. classes now does not mean you will always be in there.  Listen to your teachers and work hard and you may exit out later if your grades and skills improve.  Do not let the other students get to you.  Just because they say something doesn't mean it is true.  If they think they are bothering you, they will probably keep it up so try to ignore them.

Answer 3

Special Education is not for stupid people.

People don't' really know what Special Education is.

I'm a special Education teacher and  very smart and Gifted children need special education too. people make fun of them too.  

Don't you feel lucky to have fun where you are. I think most kids envy you for having fun so they say not nice things to feel better. you are having fun, it is more than most kids do in school.

Make the best out of being in that class and learn the best you can and have fun as much as you can.

Think about this,People say you are stupid and you are worried if you're stupid.

If People say you are a Monkey, does it make you wonder if you are a Monkey?

The best advice is don't take into your heart everything people say. (unless they say nice things  - in that case, take every thing they say)

keep having fun

Answer 4

That sucks that you get made fun of.  But you know what?  Albert Einstein did horrible in school.  If he went to your school, he'd be in your class for special help.  There are other very famous people who went to resource (special help) in school.  Look them up on the internet, or ask your resource teacher about them.  The only stupid kids are the ones who don't care about others.  They're the ones who are going to fail in life.

Hang in there!

Answer 5

Your writing could use a little polishing but it is coherent so I'd say you were not stupid.  Perhaps you were just a little lazy and that's what got you into Special Ed.  In most school districts, Special Ed is a temporary class where students are brought up to speed then re-integrated into regular classes.

Make the best of it, and don't think of yourself as stupid for you are clearly not.  Good luck.
