I don't really understand how something so right could be so difficult. I'm talking about including students with disabilities (no matter how "mild" or "severe.") I am a special educator. I love my job, though I think secretly my desire is to work myself out of a job. Then I could just teach everyone. I have some really neat kids...all of them. Each one of them having strengths that I try to build on to help them be able to make their own choices. I think that's the biggest goal I have for me when I work with my students....to be able to determine what they want and need...and to dream, just simply dream about what they want to do in their life. The school system serves children for such a short time of their life and then the "kids" are off to the "REAL WORLD." I fear for them. If they're not included in other classes with everyone, how can those whom I serve be ready? The world is not a self-contained world. What's making it...
