What is T.S? (2015 and On).

ORIGIN OF SPECIAL EDUCATION IN ANAHEIM SCHOOLS:

In 1954, after being stuck in child birth, the doctors had to use a pair of forces to get me out. Some damage was done. The Doctor, realizing what happened and it was too late) came out an told my dad: "I'm sorry, but we should have taken him by C-Section. I have been disabled since my birth in 1954, and my early school years were plagued by numerous problems where I was held back a couple of times. In 1963, a new program started up at Loara Elementary School for students with learning disabilities called EMR (Educationally Mentally Retarded). Mr. Crum was called from Key School to teach one of the EMR Classes. Mr. Boone was the other EMR Teacher, and so Special Education was begun. I was in Mr. Crum's class my 2nd an 3rd grade year, and he was my best teacher ever. At the start of 4th Grade, my family decided it was time to mainstream me, and I began going to Key School, in Regular Classes with Mrs. Jurva as my teacher--another good teacher, as she helped me to get acclimatized in Regular Classes (She is 101 today, if she is still alive). Since it turns out, not every student in EMR was Mentally Retarded (me included) so EMR was later renamed EH (Educationally Handicapped). Eventually it was just called Special Education. While I was at Key School, some buildings were added to the lunch area, so that Special Ed could be taught there. Mr. Crum returned to Key School to each one of the classes. I often got remarks saying that I should have been in those classes, and that I didn't belong anywhere else. The problem was even worse at Trident. I was in the Advanced Marching Band at Trident, and a lot of fellow band members made it known that I didn't belong in that band. After awhile, my life became a social disaster, until the changing life experiences of Christianity totally changed my life around forever. I went on to graduate from California State University-East Bay in 1979. All schools pretty much have adequate Special Ed Classes now for disabled students who need them. Mr. Crum is gone now, but I owe him a lot for all he did for me in making my life's journey an easier one, and the Special Education Programs in Anaheim, CA.
