Extractions: This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Extractions: Guidelines for School Food Service Programs Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of handicap in programs receiving federal financial assistance. USDA Regulation, 7 CFR, Part 15, Section 15b.3(i) states that "a person with a handicap" means any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment." In providing food services to any of its students, school food authorities must not discriminate on the basis of handicap. They must serve special meals, at no extra charge, for students whose handicap restricts their diet. Q. Does Section 15b.26(d) require schools and institutions to serve special meals to handicapped children with special dietary needs? A. Yes. Section 15b.26(d) requires schools and institutions to serve meals to children with handicaps whose handicap restricts their diet in such a way that they cannot fully participate in the food service program without some modification to foods or menus. Schools and institutions shall require the child's parent or guardian to request special meals and to provide a medical prescription from a physician that (1) verifies special meals are needed because of their handicap and (2) prescribes the alternate foods and forms of foods needed to meet the child's special dietary needs. The physician, speech pathologist, dietitian, or nutritionist should be consulted to determine the best way to meet the child's dietary needs.

PRINT THIS STORY From the Journal Sentinel Last Updated: Dec. 24, 2002 The financing of special education is a mess. When Congress mandated that schools address the special needs of disabled students, it vowed to pick up the bulk of the tab. That has turned out to be another broken promise of politicians. Meanwhile, the cost of the special help for students is soaring - squeezing funds for regular education. One reason for the higher costs is that the ranks of disabled students are expanding. The 1990s started out with one of every nine public school students across the nation classified as disabled and ended with one of every eight so classified. Experts debate the reasons for the rise. Some argue that schools are better at identifying disabilities than they once were. Others say the number of disabled children is in fact rising. Still others contend that schools are inappropriately labeling more and more students as disabled.

Extractions: Report of the Summit on Learning Disabilities, Washington D.C. 1994 Shocking words from the federal government: The term "learning disability" has appeal because it implies a specific neurological condition for which no one can be held particularly responsible, and yet it escapes the stigma of mental retardation. There is no implication of neglect, emotional disturbance, or improper training or education, nor does it imply a lack of motivation on the part of the child. For these cosmetic reasons, it is a rather nice term to have around. -U. S. Government Study On The Labeling Of Children The Epidemic - " When 35% of the population is affected by a disability, it is an epidemic. When that disability is the leading cause of emotional problems in children and adolescents in North America, we are talking about a serious public health problem."

Up [ The Choices ] The Standards The Tests " Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." - William Jennings Bryan "T he case for a competitive education industry rests on the choice-worthiness imperative. In a competitive setting, producers must specialize and relentlessly pursue improvement to survive. The contrast between competitive markets and other delivery systems is overwhelming evidence that market systems - though not perfect - are superior to politically driven delivery systems." - THE SCHOOL CHOICE WARS by John Merrifield The Independent Review School Choice FAQs The historical evidence of successful, market-driven education has been well established and is the most penetrating way to improve American public education, meet the growing needs of diverse learners, and the demands of current stake-holders, Wisconsin parents, businesses and taxpayers. Most importantly, school choice unites parents on a common ground. The school choice movement holds much promise, so long as such proposals and government money do not make private schools wards of the state. The rights and responsibilities of parents to direct and participate in the education of their children should be apparent - not only for a privileged few.
