“Very wrong. Let me present you just a bit of information. Thirty years of study shows us that when ALL students are learning together they ALL do better.”
I’m having a lot of trouble responding to that in some productive way. First it gave me an acute case of Tourette’s that had to be suppressed, then it made me want to act like a bully and launch a salvo of insulting comments regarding intelligence. Finally I just froze, fingers poised over the keyboard, mouth agape.
It is as though someone had announced that controlling malaria by spraying for mosquitos was a bad thing, or that the Hillbilly Whorehopper and the Negro from Nairobi were great presidents. Without wanting to seem overly confrontational, that notion is not merely wrong, it is obstreperously, obnoxiously, offensively, risibly, dangerously wrong.
So-called “inclusive education” always and only interferes with the education of the rest of the kids. Not only has there never been any other outcome, it is ridiculous to suspect for an instant that there ever could be any other outcome.
Data supporting your position are as credible as the “data” that “support” the wackadoodle lunacy of anthropogenic global warming.
Sorry.
“Teachers plan their lessons to meet each student’s learning needs.”
And I’ll bet they’re thrilled to take on the extra work.
“Teachers teach in small groups that can change as the students’ needs change.”
So, we’re going to have four times as many teachers? Or are the other small groups left to pick their noses while the teacher “teaches” one small group?
“Teachers teach the same content in different ways.”
Are you kidding? Teachers aren’t smart or educated enough to teach content even in a single way.
“Teachers work with other adults in the school to help meet each student’s needs.”
And they are thrilled to take on the extra work in their copious free time. Wow. I hadn’t realized what a bunch of saints these hypothetical teachers are.
“Why inclusive education?”
Because we are hell-bent on committing cultural and national suicide as quickly as possible?
“Studies show”
The only study I trust is the one showing that 99% of all studies are bull crap.
“that students with and without disabilities in inclusive schools:…do better in reading and math”
If that seems true, it is because those schools move so slowly through the material that there is less to learn, so regular kids get higher grades for doing less.
“benefit from the friendships they form”
Pie in the sky. If that happens, it’s so rare that the good it does is overwhelmed by the harm.
“learn to value differences.”
What kind of leftard garbage is that? What next, you gonna tell me that “diversity is our strength?” Diversity is where nations go to die.
No nation can excel unless it allows the best—the smartest, the strongest, the most motivated—to surge ahead of the pack.
