In response to Inclusion posted by TraceyThompson:
I totally agree that our education system needs to be revamped! 29 children to one teacher is way too many, but here in So. CA we often see 35-40 students to one teacher!!!

Parent involvenment is essential and mainstreaming children is very important not only for the special needs child but for the other children to learn tolerance and acceptance of others who aren't just like them.

I know it's difficult for teachers, but if teachers need help they need to ask their PTA for help in their classroom if they don't have aides available. They need to learn how to use parents to help out and to not be threatened by parental help.
