Band of Angels

     According to the "What Is Changing Education for Our Children," schools are not meeting the requirements that special education students need.  They talk about the need that special education students need to be taught in regular classrooms, not be put in separate classrooms, making it "us vs. them."  They need to be encouraged to interact with students that don't have special needs.  Inclusion is a good way for special education students to interact with people they will come in contact with for the rest of their life.  They need to be exposed to people they will potentially be working with.  
     An issue that the article brings up, is that special education students will not be able to keep up with the curriculum.  Special education students will just need extra tudors, reteaching, and patience.  If they get this attention, they will be able to achieve great things.  I believe that these children can be successful, if they just get the attention they need. 
  Another point that is brought up in this article is that children aren't smart enough for the curriculum.  These children can achieve great things if they are given the respect and patience they need to be taught.
