When a swearing, desk throwing , emotionally disturbed student has an outburst at an I.E.P. meeting then inclusion fails. When that student is so disruptive that he runs the halls destroying school property , inclusion fails. When most of the problem with that student is poor parenting, inclusion fails. When administrators are so gun shy about inclusion that they allow behaviors from emotionally disturbed students lower standards for other students, inclusion fails.
Inclusion is a bureaucratic screw up.
It sounds good on paper, but does far more damage than it does good. Our government just wants to close the mental wards and dump out these people into the mainstream, this, in turn, undermines public education. Inclusion is the beginning of the end. Inclusion is a bureaucratic screw up.
