We asked the simple question, “How would you describe Mini-School as opposed to how you would describe mainstream?” The results were kinda funny.
Mini talks about mainstream
Raeann- Good place to be if you can handle it.
Dan- Teachers don’t treat us like individuals as opposed to Mini-School.
Jed- Didn’t like it.
Dave- A group of stereotypical labelists that believe they are better than everyone.
Scott- Okay for people in it.
Bill- Teachers treat you like a computer.
Chris- Institution of mass learning where pukes can be shepherded by even bigger pukes!
Mainstream talks about Mini
Bryant- A joke, read the newspaper and watch movies.
Jeanna- Good program for people with troubles.
Tammy- Kinda cool, good for kids that are in it.
Jamie- Great for people who can’t handle the pressures of mainstream, great that it’s here.
John- Mainstreamers stereotype people for being in Mini-School.
Mike- A place to meet individual needs.
Mandy- The kids need more one on one conversation with the teachers.
Joey- I thought they were really just miniature people.
John- Small school.
