I went to the “best” elementary school, “best” middle school, and “best” high school in Worcester with learning disabilities. Almost all my teachers growing up would not accommodate my 504, mock me, call me stupid, etc. I pray times have changed but stay away from WPS, my experience was a nightmare and I have no idea how I made it out alive

shit that's awful. when was this? i am a product of the late 80s-90s wps and there were teachers that were indefensibly rotten to some of the kids for a variety of shitty reasons.

i always looked back on that as a "different time" where those things just happened. i would really hate to think that stuff still goes on like that. it's very damaging and traumatizing. sorry you went through that.

I have an autistic son at Worcester Tech. It has changed thankfully. The school has been very supportive especially during those awful covid times.

He did not go to elementary or middle school here. He had an out of district placement. So I can not say if it has gotten better on that level.
