1. I believe all students have the right to be in a general education first grade classroom because no child should be excluded from the learning environment just because of a disability. However, I also believe that the students who need it should have access the materials and the accommodations to help the child succeed as much as possible, but the child should be involved in typically classroom activities if possible and in the best interest of the students.

4. I sort of upset me when I saw that the school was teaching Bobby and his classmates how to work in a grocery store. First graders in a general classroom setting are not being taught how to work as an adult. It kind of seemed as if that's all they see these bright, young children achieving during their lifetime which is far from the truth. Also, these children are going to grow up and learn they weren't taught the same things as other children which could lead to isolation in the future. It just shocked me that they would teach these young kids these adult tasks.

  1. I agree with the first post because I too believe that every student should feel that they are normal and just like everyone else. No one wants to feel out of place in a crowd.
