When we're talking about intellectucal SN, I think you'd have to say that ALL intellectucal SN kids really don't benifit all that much from inclusion.....I know I'll probaly get a lot of hate posts....Oh lord I remember a certain member flipping out b/c we thought that ID kids did not belong in regular education.
NEWSFLASH, the OVERWHELMING majority of ID kids are at completely different levels then typical kids. ID kids being in regular ed, would be like a normal IQ person taking a seminar on Advanced Physics taught by Stephen Hawking. Yes, most kids with all sorts of general disabilities can and do belong in a typical classroom, but what is so wrong with curriculum and programming designed specificly for THEM?

A lot is wrong with that ! Programs for kids with LD are one of the first one to get cut in funding.

I "earned" my Varsity letter for my NCSD jacket....it was an honor to me and I worked very hard for it....being the shortest girl on our basketball team and on the 1st team, even the track team....It's (the jacket) still packed away somewhere...

So I can see the hoopla-do where about it...

Trouble is, there's not much you can do to make the special needs kids feel like they're a part of the school. Picture your typical high school.....It's not High School Musical or Grease....I kinda wish we DID live in a world like that.....but it's a sad fact that SN kids are on a completely different level then typical people. They might not even understand how a game is scored....and so much "inclusion" is so tokenist. It's like "Awww, isn't that sweet that the special needs kids and the normal kids are playing together?" But the thing is....that type of inclusion is VERY superficial.

There are kids that are SN and just may need extra help in reading b/c they're dyslexia and no knew about it for while . There are a lot reason a student will in a SN class, hoh and deaf kids go to this class and they're very capable of understanding how to keep score . http://www.thefreedictionary.com/special+needs

Those who complained are just assholes.

Can you not read?!?! I clearly said GENERAL special needs are easy to serve in the mainstream. We're not talking about GENERAL special needs....we're talking about INTELLECTUAL special needs! Whole different kettle of fish in terms of abilty!
