[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]all children do not benefit from inclusion[/b].  maybe the special needs kids do... but the others don't.  my child is forced to sit there while the kids act strange and have all these extra aides repeating things, taking them in and out of the classroom.

Sure they do. The typical knee jerk reaction is to assume normal kids will be negatively affected by disabled kids in the classroom. But if you do a bit of research you'll find that this just isn't true. Read the link below. So you have to dig deep into your conscience to see if what you're thinking and feeling is  just frustration borne out of discrimination and intolerance for different children.

No they don't.  SN parents like to say that it's good for everyone.  It isn't... it's good for your child.  And that's fine.... that's what you're concerned about.  But you don't need to infer that people are being intolerant.  I advocate for my DC just like you do for yours, and for my DC inclusion classrooms have just meant trouble.[/quote]

You said inclusion doesn't benefit your normal children. I provided some evidence to suggest that it, in fact, does. Now it's your turn to provide equally credible research to suggest it hurts nondisabled children. If you can't, then I am left to wonder why on earth you protest inclusion so much. Without any supportive evidence and without any reason to protest inclusion, I am left to believe that it must be out of intolerance and discrimination. [/quote]
