[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a new trend in special needs. Teaching them skills to cope instead of special placements. I would argue that the actual cafeteria gets the volume lowered. It's SO loud.[/quote] No it’s not a new trend - building skills has always been a main goal. That said you have to ask whether this particular move is building skills or taking a way an opportunity to build skills. “Lunch bunch” is a pretty common thing for schools to offer. I can get why they would want to be sure only kids who needed it would get it and that kids are not being denied the chance to make other friends and be independent. But a middle ground would probably be best - like requiring that kids all eat together in the cafeteria but also providing a quiet space for kids who want that for recess. [/quote]
