It wasnt for me.I am in the same situation or worse situation than if I would have dropped out of high school since I am unemployable so all my education was for nothing.

I was in special ED and I know that's not what I needed. My parents needed to pull me out of public school but then again, I don't think in the area I lived in there was any schools that would have made a difference. Back in the 90s no one knew what ASD was and I got the ADD label slapped on me.

Special education is only as good as whoever is teaching it. Sometimes it's great and other times it's utter trash.

There is (or was) a foolproof method to earn at least a low A on any exam or quiz.

Make cards containing all possible information presented to you in any form in class, in a book, or in any other form on a subject. They have to provide you with something in writing, or at least a link to the video or whatever, if you ask.

Answer is on one side, definition is on the other.

Ex) Side one: Atom; Side two: basic building block of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons

Go through the stack of cards after you have just learned the lesson, again at some point, and a third time before you are expected to know it. Make a "know it" pile and a "don't know it" pile. Keep doing it until all cards are in the "know it" pile.

This method once worked in one night for a classmate of mine who previously earned straight Ds.
