I had a discussion one day with a hard core conservative who told me he thought special needs children shouldn’t go to school because it cost the province too much money. That even if they did get an education it wouldn’t lead to anything. Having taught special needs kids in the OCDSB I know this isn’t the case. It’s a great thing that we do to educate these children, and it is a great help to their families. I believe this so much that not educating them intentionally, in special classes, is a crime against humanity in my opinion.
And to mix them in with regular students is a really bad idea. It’s already tough enough for children to learn in the public school system the way it is now because spec-ed kids are also mixed in. Separating them isn’t discriminatory, it’s a recognition that they need special attention and to be taught in a different way that best meets their needs.
One size never fits all…
Time to stop trading with China. We don’t need their child and slave labour products…
Ha ha—Is IBM going to return all the money they’ve been paid to build the Phoenix system? We don’t need them if AI can do the job better..
Doesn’t make sense. Seems kind of personal for the city to be acting this way. Has someone’s ego been bruised?
