Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Hello I have a question for any of you who would care to comment. I have a jr. high age daughter (NDA) and was at the campus today working with a PTO project. This jr. high is non-inclusion. There was a class there cleaning the cafeteria and front doors and windows of the office. They referred to themselves as a resource class, but most are in the special education classroom exclusively. There was one boy in the group that I know is not in special education, but all the others present were. We asked them what they were doing and they said they get paid to clean the " lunchroom and stuff " . One boy said he had collected his check today and it was $18.25 - don't know how long he worked for that. There were two DS kids in the group and this was about 2 p.m. I asked an aide from a different campus if she knew about it and she said yes that they think it helps to give them something to do. My question to you is - Is this what you want your kids doing in school? Another question - is reading, writing and arithmetic not enough to give them something to do? Mom to 2 year old Nina, DS with still a few more years to go to jr. high, but already getting worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
