I am an ETFO member. We need to be advocating for more than just more supports, though. We need to bring back specialized classes for high needs students. The all-inclusive model does not work.  It's politically incorrect to say that, but it's the truth.  The special needs child does not get what he/she needs in the current model, and the rest of the class suffers. Not only are children with very special needs being placed in regular classes because of lack of money/lack of caring(?), children with major mental health issues and severe behaviour problems are in our classes.  If the public came into a classroom for a week, people would be shocked. Because I have 3 violent children in my class, I am in a constant state of alert to ensure the safety and mental well-being of the other students (and me) in my class. I also have 2 developmentally delayed students, a non-verbal very autistic student, 2 new refugees who don't speak English, and a split class.  How much teaching gets done?
