Ever felt like this?

[Magpie]

I was told I had learning disabilities in school, so I took advantage of that and stopped learning and just made my own sense.

I was going to say, 'nobody ever stops learning' until I realised that you meant that you stopped the schoolwork bit of learning. It's a strange label to give to people 'learning disabilities', it's changed over the years in an effort to be more PC. Before 'learning disabilities' it was 'special needs', but that label is frowned upon now. It seems that the more PC it becomes the smaller the box becomes and it doesn't seem to help anyone. 

There are some things that can't be learnt... There's a Scottish island called Skye and once when I had come back from holidaying there one of the people I worked with who allegedly has "learning disabilities" asked me how my holiday in the sky was. I wish my imagination and reality was as free as that, it must be amazing.
