That is what I was just going to say. For special needs students, the age is upped to 21. There are various classes for special needs students, depending on the seriousness of their conditions. For example, at my high school we have a class for mild-moderate mentally retarded kids. I covered the class the other day and the lesson was on how to use a phone book. Its not the typical classroom, but it an education.
As far as the "Pillow Angel" is concered, I'm still debating it in my mind, and therefore will hold my comments until I get it all straight.
