So your basic complaint against my post was that it wasn’t PC enough? Pardon my lack of sensitivity but my point stands: normal students in school shouldn’t have their educations disrupted nor physical health put in danger by the special needs kids.
Ya, I know, those dang special ed kids. Always taking up the teachers time learning to speak or walk or do one of the simplest tasks that the "normal" kids can do. Maybe you need to see the value that your son or daughter can gain from helping or being friends to a special needs child. Open up your narrow mind and comprehend that those special kids have something very valuable to offer.
There is a difference, Kantian, between politcal correctness and common courtesy. I do realize that the difference has been blurred in recent years, but those of us who remember a time before PC recognize it clear as day.
And no one is suggesting that your child be deprived in any way of the most excellent education possible for him. If you read my post again, you will see that I made that quite clear: Disruptive children should NEVER be placed in regular classrooms — and that includes perfectly “normal” kids who are sometimes the most disruptive of all.
I don’t know about you, but if I was a teacher, I’d rather have the quiet, slower kid who takes longer to learn his multiplication tables any day over the normal, but loud, foul-mouthed, and smart-assed brat who knows them back and forth but won’t obey my instructions or keep his seat when asked. Now THAT’S disruptive behavior.
All I am suggesting is that you be a little more considerate before you call these children truly insulting names. That’s not politcal correctness, that’s being polite.
Regards,
