Do you believe that schools should combine both special education and general education students in the same classroom? If so, how would teachers, parents and students figure out how to provide both support and academic challenge to kids with special needs? What strategies for all students would need to be put in place? Should special education and general education merge? What are your honest thoughts about this topic? Why do you feel this way?
In my opinion, I do not see why having both special education students and regular students in the same classroom would be an issue; however, challenged to spark when faced with various possibilities. For example, some students are or seem uncomfortable around students with special problems or needs, therefore creating an environment with a slight discomfort. However, this problem can be overcome once students get used to dealing with special education students and interacting with them. If students are still uncomfortable, student aids or special aids are available and these people are similar to one on one teachers for those who need help. Teachers and more likely parents will all be safe and feel comfortable that their children are in a secure and stable environment with care and respect for each student. There, of course, will be struggles and challenges to deal with the special education students, but by having a combined environment filled with both students, it is a learning experience for both groups of students. Kids with special needs will gain an academic knowledge in a variety of ways; by learning from the students and experiencing new challenges. There is definitely nothing impossible for the kids with special needs, as they find a way to adapt to new things in a new way. Hence the term impossible. Though its definition states not possible, you can read it as I-AM-POSSIBLE. Anyways, the general educated students will gain a newly-found respect for the kids with special needs and learn to appreciate and understand life's gift of lessons. My honest opinion is that merging special education and general education is possible, but might take some time to get used too. Nevertheless, there really is nothing wrong with it and essentially, you grow into a new family.
