Children with additional needs

There was an article in the course content so far that rather disturbed me as an educator.

Everyday I hear and see the challenges children face trying to fit in with people, trying to find their place in society and accepting the challenges of making friendships and positive interactions with other children.

To hear that alot of people disagree with the public education system funding private schooling for children with additional needs is absolutely attrocious and it sickened me. As it is, children with additional needs face not only the challenges mentioned above but also the challenge of a disability that impact on their capability to learn as normal. All children are capable of learning we just need to help these children reach their potential by finding out how they learn and if their education needs to come from a private school where there are better resources and less students - so be it!!!
