Until I looked it up tonight, the last time I remember using that term was when I was a kid.
God, we could be so mean to each other I shudder thinking of it now.

I think that was still a thing when I was in school. For the longest time, I thought that's just where they sent the mentally handicapped kids. It was only when folks I knew started going to BOCES that I figured out it was a trade school.
I don't think I ever called someone a "BOCES kid" though. Mostly I pissed the other children off by pointing out their inadequacy directly.
It's ok, as adults we know better right?
