Why does school keep the special ed kids away from everyone?

I'm sure some of the special education students are in mainstream settings. It is hard to tell if one student or another is a special education student, especially if they have LD. Every school strives to include special education students in the least restrictive environment.

But certain special education students with additional needs may benefit well from being educated in separate classrooms. Special education consists of varying needs from each student.

Much of this depends on the special ed kids of whom you speak. You can't lump them into a single basket because their are numerous disabilities that require specialized instruction.People with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities probably won't get much mainstreaming because they cannot benefit from the instruction in academic classes. That's why they can go to electives because art, PE, music etc. appeals to them.

Children with emotional disturbance also need a highly structured classroom and daily instruction in social behaviors. This group usually gets to mainstream once their behaviors are under control.

So, until you tell us the types of disabilities these kids have, we will be unable to answer your question specifically. Also, how about you and your friends choose to help out in the classrooms as an elective.

To keep people safe. Certain people in those classes can flip and go on a rampage of sorts. Last year one of the special education kids began smashing at a window and broke it, They ended up blockading that section of the school and not allowing students that way until he was contained and the law called in. So I would suspect it could be for insurance reasons as well, if someones kid gets attacked the parents will sue.

I feel the same way! I honestly don't like it at all! We are all equal, and just because they don't learn the same or act the same doesn't mean that they should be shut out and kept away from everyone like animals. They are humans, the have feelings just like the rest of us. And I totally agree with what you said! Some teenagers are very ignorant and the would taunt and tease them, but then there is also some nice teenagers like myself who would like to just make their day, make them feel like they fit in.

Not all teenagers make fun of special ed kids. But enough teenagers do bully special ed kids that it is safer to keep them apart.

Yes, it would be better if everyone could be together without bullying, but just putting the kids together doesn't usually lead to that.

Get a group of students together. Make a pledge to include and welcome everyone. Let the students and teachers know that everyone is welcome to join you. Then make sure you really do welcome people, and make sure you quickly address any bullying that starts.

Also, make sure you don't bully or shame people who aren't ready to accept your invitation.

There afriad of wat the mean kids would say because this world fing retarted its like so there special uniqe why dose it matter!
