[quote=Anonymous]I don't see that we actually ask our little boys to sit for 8hours in a classroom with very little movement. Kids are moving around all the time. Education is very hands on. And, teachers are much more tolerant and creative in helping kids who can't sit still three and learn espite their different learning styles. As far ask asking too much in general, my son is a special needs kid in a mainstreamed classroom. School is not necessarily geared to his needs - it's set up for those kids who are mainstream. He manages through a combination of goals, services and accommodations in that mainstream environment. But, 40 years ago, parents pushed to have kids mainstreamed. Even today, when some people feel like too much is being asked of their kids, if an alternative environment was presented, most of us would most likely reject it. [/quote]
