[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so very important to me that my son is  at a school that fully includes special needs kids and that those kids are treated respectfully by staff and students.  There is nothing more important for him to learn, imo.  [/quote]

Why? I am not being snarky - I have zero problem with special needs students being included to the best degree possible. But isn't having a school which actually teaches reading/writing/math/etc well the most important thing to learn in a school? School is not there for kids' sociatal and moral development (or at least only secondarily). I'd pick a school that was not great with regard to special needs but taught my child the core disciplines well over a school that was inclusive but bad at teaching. I can take care of my kids' morals myself. [/quote]

Plus, Oyster-Adams is a bilingual and very diverse school. It is one thing to say that special ed kids are an important part of the community, and another to say they are the most important part of the community. Every kid is equally unique and precious.[/quote]
