you know, maybe the sugar coating isn't just for the kids. How would you feel if you fatherd a mentally deffecient child? would you want to call him/her retarded? The love for your child shouldn't be any less unless of course you are a bitter angry selfish individual.
Its good that schools try and teach tolerance and unity by 'sugar coating' with words. What if you had never had the experiance with those children in school? Would you be so understanding to their handicap? You would understand it even less than you do now certainly.

My friend didnt want to be thought of as special, he just wanted to be like everyone else and be left alone.
I think being called special or other 'sugar coating' just causes more problems than it solves.
