if a school had accepted a special needs child,it means they are willingly to allow the child to try no matter to what extend....in academically or socially! normally students who are academically weak are the one who normally get bullied by other non-disabled students and not to miss out will be the teachers themselves. students sometimes are the follower of the adults behaviour eg: if you are a kind teacher who teaches your students to respect each other and be kind to them no matter what level of their ability to perform in school or socially towards their behaviour, the non-disabled students will help to respect the disabled /special needs students individually. they will also learn to understand that not everyone is as lucky as they are and with their differences from individually they will also learnt to appreciate the special needs more.
as for the special needs who have actually had a chance to be with the non- disabled students in the mainstream class will also benefit them as they learnt to developed self confidence, new skills and greater independence.
in another way,both non- disabled students and disabled students have help each other in their lives where education books will not teach at all. the moral of all the respect from each other come from individually heart. for the disabled student they are unfortunately yet to develop this feeling towards the other students. they might not have a feeling to express thank you to the friends but deep down in their heart they are very welcome friends from the non-disabled students. just by talking or saying "hello", to the special needs child will actually made them feel like they are being accepted by the society. to us, we are so use to say "hello", and "bye" to friends almost everyday but not to the special needs. the special needs might not have anyone to wish them good morning or even say "bye", to them in months or years except from their loving parents who had not ever think they have given up on them at all.
why are these special needs so different from the non- disabled? just because they are "stupid",(that's what most teachers labeled them as), slower, speech delayed, non expressive , naughty or they have been labeled (as special needs)ever since they were born!
but do you know all the label is not just to the special needs who had diagnosed by the profession. it could happen to any of non- disabled students but yet they can excel in other field. an austistic child can paint a painting and got sold of for thousands of pound.
can a non- disabled student do it without going for drawing classes????? the austistic child had the ability by visualising of what she/he had seen in the morning or maybe few months ago and paint it out just by free hand. ask yourself can you do it too? the most amazing thing about this special needs child is that he never ever able to sit down and pay attention to the teachers in school and he was just 11years old then when he had became an artist in London. so why do you want to label them "stupid"? the true is they are not, as they are also earning lots of money compare to a teacher.
why are those teachers love to comment on special needs child and then gave excuses saying the child is at fault causing the class being disruptive. teachers already know that the school had excepted the special needs students , so as a teachers they should learn how to control the class no matter how disruptive they were. what are teachers for in school? to guide and teaches the students no matter they are non-disabled or disabled child! if you think that you as a teachers who cannot handle a special needs child just because he/she is not listening during the class, try to get extra classes to upgrade your level of teaching. the easiest way is through internet searching. but if you fail to do so and think that you still don't to deserve to teach such a bad brat.....try switching your job.....be a housewife or any other job as long as you are not in the education line cause you are causing a human life to fail!!!!
don't forget the special needs have a chance to come to the world here, it means they have a chance to live on their life and go on to find their happiness through their own world and paces. they have feeling like yours, they have tears like yours, they have laughter like yours and also have same colour of red blood like everyone do in this world.
come on, teachers! give them hope and chance to get a proper education....is also a chance for them to lead on their life......teachers are there for them to show guidance, love and kindness. not to belittle them and leave them alone!
my daughter never gave up when she was in the ICU when she was just a few days old. she fight for her life to stay with us. she had did it successfully for 9 precious years. she was so happy everyday to be with us and she knew that she was not the same as others but she never gave up hope to learnt to be improve everyday and every minute. everynite she told me that she was a special need girl and that's why she had to see all the therapist to improve herself. she said she love going there because she knew she will become like her friends one day. able to have lots of friends, able to sing well, to write and read well and able to play in sports well.
if a special need can think so positively, why can't the adults think that way too. why teachers are the one to look down on them? are you sure that you will never get a chance to have a special needs child in future...your grandchildren or great grand children? how sure are you?
every parents wish for a healthy and a good child to be born but if my daughter is a special needs that is not her fault at all but is the God who gave me a reason to love and appreciate a human life more and show me to the guidance to help and care for them.
i hope all teachers who have ever read my blog will understand a special needs child's parents every wish they want is the acceptance of the society toward the child to give them a chance to prove to you that they can do it if you try harder on them.
let's not give up on them till the God decide to give them up.
