The idea of inclusion, in not so many words, is the inclusion of children with disabilities into a mainstream classroom. There are many arguments and situations involved in this discussion and one that has many professionals and parents divided.
Some of the main points I have come across involving inclusion are:
1) Children with Disability need special provisions and more attention devoted to them which makes their situation not fit for a mainstream classroom.
2) If they were to enter the mainstream classroom, the teacher would have to give more time to help these children, which could hinder the learning of the other children in the class.
3) Children with disabilities deserve to be in these classrooms and have the right to get the learning that other children do.
4) Teaching Assistance could be used to help make the transition easier.
Ive read many articles and studies related to inclusion and Ive come across so many different opinions that it is hard to get an opinion myself. I'm studying Child and Youth Studies in University right now and I have come across this debate many times and there seems to be new arguments, for and against inclusion, every year. Ive even read that the parents of children with disabilities are also at a divide as to what they want for their children. Some parents deem that their children have the right to inclusion, but some parents wouldnt want their children in these classrooms because they fear that their kid will not get the attention they need in order to have success in school.
My question is this: What side are you on in relation to Inclusion in Schools?
