What is Boces?
1.
A program where kids go if they aren't able to socialize and make friends. They are discriminated against in school and constantly made fun of, and always assumed to have inferior academic capacities.
I've been stuck in boces since 1993, and contemplated suicide so often because of it.

3.
Noun, plural in construction but singular in usage. Originates from the acronym "Board Of Cooperative Educational Services," (or something similar), a 'special education' system often used to educate mentally-retarded people (frequently children, but occasionally brain-damage victims) as much as one possibly could, which, typically, isn't much. The acronym eventually became a term to describe any person so enrolled in one of these systems, and through logical extension, a an insult to suggest that they are as intelligent and mentally competent as a person enrolled in a BOCES system.
"Jim is such as boces, he can't even turn on the computer correctly."
"Our teacher is a real BOCES. It took him 20 minutes to get the VCR running."
