Talk:Special school

message: There should be a seperate page for this service. It is not associated with a special school
as all are house within the same school typical students attend.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.253.227 (talk • contribs) 00:04, 27 September 2009
:That's not a bad idea.  In the meantime, it could be described in Inclusion (education) or Mainstreaming (education).  Can you suggest some reliable sources that we could use for descriptions, common uses, effectiveness, etc.?  WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I added the tag, this entire article is arguing against special schools.  the article focusses on one point of view which it calls mainstreaming in education.  This article requires a complete rewrite to make it at all worthwhile.  --www.secularism.org.uk 20:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a reasonably large section about UK SEN schools (which to me) reads more NPOV but was removed, presumably by a Yank, for no appreciably reason, I've re-added it for now, although I agree it could do with a merge into one section/rewrite.--ElvisThePrince 14:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Special schools are schools catered to students with special educational needs.  They do not provide special education.  There’s a reason why it’s not categorize in special education.  Special schools and special education are separate.  (69.117.20.128 – talk)
As discussed previously! (yawn) Special schools are ENTIRELY involved in the provision of Special Education.  That is their job to provide education for children with "special needs".  They do not provide an inclusive education, but they do provide special education, that is their sole function.  --Brideshead 19:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't have a source for your claim at all.  Special schools do not have regular classrooms at all.  Special education is the term to describe exceptional individuals in a school.  Special schools only have one group of people.  They aren't compared with anyone else.  It is not part of special education......We already discussed this....in the special education article, you even agreed to delete the special schools.  If you disagreed, you would have left the special schools under how special education is provided? So you agreed with me. (209.177.21.6 – talk)
******I don't know WHERE you get the idea that "special schools don't have regular classrooms". In the UK at  any rate, virtually ALL state provided special schools have standard classrooms, follow the (modified) National Curriculum, and resemble ordinary schools except in the range of pupils they cater for. As for the original article here's contention that special schools are not informed by research: all I can say is that all the special school staff I know have multiple degrees at Masters Level and are far more qualified than their mainstream counterparts!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.216.237.25 (talk) 11:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  recent change.. 

message: Can I add that link? Is that neutral to everyone? What is statement of SEN? That's what says on the link.  Someone should read it...and then we can discuss it after. (69.117.20.128 - talk)
A special school is any private school catering to students who have special educational needs (SEN), for example, because of learning difficulties or physical disabilities.
Why can't I say this? Private schools are schools that are catered to one type of people.  Not all private schools are run by private groups.  Some can be run by the government.  Public schools are run by the government but they are open to the public.     (69.117.20.128 - talk)
The term private school has a very specific meaning.  It refers to schools which charge parents at point of use.  The term has no conotation of allowing or refusing access to the general public it simply means a fee paying school, which the vast amjority of special schools are not.  Look at the article on Private School your edit will confuse readers. --Brideshead 22:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The reference is there in the opening paragraph.  (Angelina - talk)
There are no references in the opening paragraph.  You will need to provide a reliable source which describes special education as an alternative education.  --Brideshead 19:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alternative School

message: Removed unsourced extreme POV statement that the motivating factor for specialised settings is the "social comfort of other learners".  This is a sick, false and unverifiable statement which, at best, is original research.  --Brideshead (talk) 10:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
