Not just “now.”
Settle down, and think.
You’re way too excited.
You are right. The balance must be found; but not at the expense of the kids who will build the future.
I totally agree........a disproportionate amount of resources are being directed into areas which, in many cases, will not show significant benefits.
I don’t think we should stick the disabled in closets or leave them with no education. In fact, I want them given the opportunities to achieve their own, personal “bests.”
I also want to see the normal kids get the best for them. If this clashes, those who have the best potential to help the nation, the world and-—THE DISABLED should be first considered.
No experience is it then?
Next.
You are so very silly.
Any educator that refers to typical children as “normal” makes me take great pause to our secondary education system and what kind of teachers they are mass producing.
Wow.
Well thanks.
You have nothing constructive to add to the conversation, and your views of special education are based on ignorance.
Keep pumping out those posts though. You do your profession proud.
I don’t agree with this assessment. I do think they show benefits — in the school systems that are conducting inclusion properly.
I think it was in the Jenny McCarthy thread that someone posted stats from Wisconsin that show inclusion is extremely beneficial to both special needs and typically developing students.
No I am not kidding you, now or ever, because you seem to have a most bizarre sense of humor. As for your inability to “get that” from the articles, it must be nice to view everything you read at face value. Some of us are cursed with a desire to know the complete story, especially one presented through the milk glass of political correctness. BAHAHAHAHA yourself.
Of course you don’t because obviously you are omnipotent. I’m sorry, but each student, autistic or not is an individual. Outside of physical restraint, there is no cure-all technique that works on every child.
stats.
You can't twist those to prove any point you might possibly want to make.
But what do I know? I can't possibly know anything because I am not YOU.
Now, dearie, I'll happily conclude any interaction with your omniscient, great-and-wonderful self and go scream, "UNCLE! UNCLE!" as I beat on a pillow in anguish because you are so much greater than I.
Administrators historically do not oblige the requests of parents of special needs children. As such your comments made me laugh out loud.
The article stated he came up on the aide from behind, pulled her back and attacked her.
Had he had a 1:1 that wouldn’t have happened.
He is also 6 years old. Hardly at a physical size where the most basic restraints protocols would not be immediately effective.
You have nothing but your ignorant comments about your sisters and now you post this garbage.
I agree our conversation is done.
