Question 1:
I believe that all students have a right to be in a general education first grade classroom. I do not believe however that a general classroom is always the most successful setting for a child to be in. A child may need special assistance and accommodations to aid in their learning that wouldn't be available in a general classroom that would be available in a different setting.
Question 4:
I was surprised that in Bobby's school at such a young age they were focusing on work related skills instead of skills that are taught in a general classroom. I felt that they were short changing the students and not giving them the opportunity to learn what other students would be learning. I felt as though by doing this they may not be pushing Bobby and others to reach their full potential.
I agree with your response to Question Four. I believe that they focused way to much on getting a job and being able to function in the real world at such a young age. I also agree with you that they are not letting them reach their goals and there full potential I feel as though they think that that is all they are capable of doing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your answer to number four too because they will definitely use those skills later in life but I think that those types of skills should wait to be taught until middle or even high school to be focused on. They should be working on basic skills and learning that general education students are learning.
