Following a post on X, some right wing fool thinks ALL disabled kids of school age should be placed in "special" schools, do you agree? I personally don't, as a disabled person myself who went through mainstream school throughout the 80s right up to the end of April 1992, it was terrible! SEN education was bad back then and apparently, 30 odd years later it's even worse.
The only difference in those days was that the Internet as we know it hadn't been invented yet, so there was no online bullying, just in the Playground, which was just as bad if not considerably worse as it wasn't just verbal (sticks and stones and all that), it was also physical.
More to the point, I may have a form of Autism but contrary to popular belief I am NOT "special" (not in the Internet way anyway)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, do the Poll and have a discussion.

I feel that the question you have posed only has a yes/no answer.
To those just starting on the journey of life I say...
Bang your own drum. Walk your own path. Live wildly. Love fiercely.
As you near the end, look back with no regrets.

It depends on the disability tbh.
Very disabled kids who have extreme autism, down syndrome ect that probably couldn't cope in a mainstream school.
But with kids who have mild language problems, mild autism etc should be able to cope in a mainstream school.
As somebody who was put in a language unit in a different school from the age of 6. It messed me up

As someone who was sent to a mainstream school with a "Special Needs" (I hate that word!) "Unit" at the age of 11, I feel your pain, I hated every second of that place, in fact if I hadn't made friends with my ex, I'd have walked out at first break and refused to go back.

I struggled in a mainstream school, hated every millisecond of it, attempted escapes without being caught by staff, failed, so, it depends on how the disability is

As the parent of two autistic children who have extremely different needs and ranges of abilities, my view on this is always "depends on the circumstances" my son is not able to go to mainstream and it is likely he will never fit into society without full time care. My daughter on the other hand is perfectly fine, provided that the understanding is in place to help her with her coping mechanisms.
Both schools are (to the best of my knowledge) great and very understanding of the needs of my children. My daughter only started in September so I know that things can (and probably will) change for her, my worry is when she starts secondary education.
