Friends It is time for me to intervene.
The crucks of the matter is of choice. One should have the choice of special school and inclusive school. The important thing is that choice should be available and one should not be forced into either of these situations. If there is no more aspects to touch, then may we close this thread. harish Kotian Moderator. -----Original Message----- From: Asudani, Rajesh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 12 June 2012 10:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Satyamev jayte: don't we require special schools any more? The ideal of making each and every school accessible to all disabled is, just as I said, an ideal only. Yes, the choice should be between special and inclusive schools, and not between special and mainstream school which do not know even the ABCD of disability. Now, government under SSA contemplates to make all schools disabled friendly only by sending special teachers once a week who would assist all the disabled take education and sensitize mainstream teachers. These are half hearted efforts making the lot of disabled students worse. Education as always would remain a teasing illusion to many disabled. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of mukesh jain Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 10:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Satyamev jayte: don't we require special schools any more? Hello, I am not agreed with the statement "special school do not provide adequate facility for the overall developement of the disabled." Because the special school in witch I have studied perhaps is the most self sufficient school in the Asian region at that time. The art of discipline, learning of doing all the work independently by self while staying in hostel was commendable and I consider this to be the great source of wealth especially when I am away from my close relatives, parents or any other family members. I could learn many independent skills while in the surrounding of my teachers who were also differently abled, such as, washing the clothes, moving independently in and around my home, etc, buying vegetables, cooking the food etc. Apart from the learning of these independent skills the school administration used to arrange the picnic, visits to various well-known film artists with the real demonstration of film production etc these are just the additional and few of the activities witch I can enumerate and there were many such countless so I feel that if I would be in mainstream of inclusive school from the beginning I would certainly be in the competitive environment but perhaps may not have the real experience and their right solution at the right time. I consider the principal of my school is to be a great god mother without whom I would not be even in a position to talk to you and could gain the education because this lady has devoted her life entirely for the betterment of her blind students. She was very disciplined and used to make sure that no child disobeys the rules of the school. She used to be witnessed personally in each child's progress and monitor even minutely about the appearance, cleanliness, timing of leaving the school on week end and joining back after the said leave. Even though there use to be the persons delegated to keep track of the same but still she use to be always active in taking the regular reports from the concerned supervisors, teachers and dormitory staffs.
