[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I agree with you, PP, on the point that all children need to learn accountability and most special needs children can indeed still learn that through proper disciplining.

But as for SN kids who can not integrate into a typical classroom needing to be removed from the typical school system, I disagree. I guess it boils down to your definition of integrating. Most special needs kids do not integrate well and  thats why they are called "special needs" kids. Either they have behavior issues or learning issues or social issues...which don't allow for seamless integration among their neurotypical peers.

Our laws dictate that special needs children can and should be integrated into the typical classroom regardless of these issues. The exception is for those special needs children who have such significant issues that their own needs can not be met in the typical classroom. We have one ASD child in our school who is nonverbal and he receives all day, one-on-one education with a special needs teacher. He is separated from everyone else. My child is not ASD and is not non-verbal. He has SPD. He has issues that will not allow for a perfect integration into a typical classroom but he has every right and reason to be in a typical classroom nonetheless. This isn't a philosophical question, it's a legal mandate. [/quote]
