I would
say inclusion on the surface makes complete sense, giving everyone a sense of equality
and acceptance. It is supposed to help
students with disabilities succeed, yet at the same time it can single them
out. There are certain students who will
become the victims of bullying by being involved in an IEP plan, or by having
an aid by their side. It is also a possibility
that even with this help students still won’t be able to live up to their potential. It seems there is a flaw in inclusion but
what can be done about that?
Is there
an actual answer to the question or is just a matter-of-fact? Give the students their rights but allow them
to singled out at the same time seems a bit silly. It may make more sense to have these students
who need additional help in a spate classroom.
As we read about Sam we learned that he was able not only to teach
another student to remember things she was always forgetting but it also helped
him remember what he was always forgetting.
This reinforced both of their behavior and worked out well, but would it
have worked in a situation where he was in a classroom the same as everyone
else?
Maybe
the answer is to play on the strengths of each individual student and provide
them a classroom where they can learn together.
Such as learning whether a student is a visual learner or one who reads
to learn and dividing classrooms into which emphasize these teaching styles to
better the education of the students.
The teachers can be trained in school before they even become teachers
to teach in a certain type of classroom.
This could be the next big thing, allowing students to learn the way
they learn best, not the way the teacher knows how to teach best.
