[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think there needs to be more training about what inclusion really means. [/b]Some of these teens humblebrag on social media with photos of themselves with their "special needs" friend. This is a human being with a heart and mind. Those kids you torment are human beings with hearts and minds. You are not a savior. You are simply connecting with someone who has different challenges than the ones you face and who has strengths you may not even know. Put your camera down. Stop trying to get false praise and get to know the student you are paired up with and other kids who seem different to you.[/quote]

for administrators and teachers as well.

I sat through a school board meeting where students who volunteered in such a program were lauded by the school board.  The man who ran the program was a football coach of some sort and yelled-talked in to the microphone and made several derogatory comments about special needs students. He made it clear that his volunteers were wonderful and the special ed kids were a pain. He seemed so defensive for his volunteers, I assumed there had been complaints. A few of the students were given the mic. The football playing popular boy would not give up the podium and told several stories about the child he befriended that were mostly mocking. He got laughs out of the crowd. It was awful. None of the special ed kids were invited - I've never seen one being celebrated or given attention in all my years of attending school board meetings. The special ed students were talked about as if they were either pets or pests. [/quote]
