Imagine a classroom in a typical high school; a teacher explains an algebra lesson. Suddenly, a heartbreaking scream echoes from the back of the classroom and a book rushes towards the board. The first instinct would be to turn around and see where this agitation was coming from; however, it's just about Toby, the special needs child. This class faces outbursts like this from Toby almost every day. The integration of students in special education is the main reason for these disruptions. Some of these students spend up to 80 percent of their day in a standard classroom. The inclusion of students with disabilities in a regular classroom setting has become a growing trend in many public schools across America in recent decades. For this reason, integration affects students, their peers, and their educators. (“Special Education”). A large majority of people believe that the inclusion of children with disabilities is one of the most effective ways to improve the social and educational skills of these students with special needs. However, this is not an ideal situation for the majority of these children on a daily basis. Placing a child with special needs in a standard classroom actually causes them to learn less. For example, they do not get the necessary attention and classes may be rushed through for them. As a result, the lesson presented could not be understood by the student. In other words, a teacher should recreate and reshape lesson plans around one or two individual learners. The normal setting of a classroom simply allows these children to slip through the hands of teachers, passing from one educator to another trying to get out of the system like... middle of paper.... .. or rather have they succeeded in a specialized class? Well, the choice is up to you, parents; Now tell me, what would you decide? (“Special Education”).
