Comment on More SEND pupils could go to mainstream schools as support shake-up is considered

Speaking from experience, forcing disabled kids into settings that are not equipped to help them survive, let alone thrive, in education has been a recipe for disaster as it is. I don’t see how doing more of it will make it any better for the kids.
But then we know it’s not for the benefit of the kids, is it?

Yes but. (And I do not agree with labor here)
There is also a huge problem when disabled students are separated from every day children. Part of that problem is in the lack of support seen for disabled in society.
Separate but equal is never really true. But also leads to a lack of understanding between the communities. This among other issues. Allows politicians to safely attack disabled benifits. And get away with lack of funding to SEND schools.
As a community. We are currently under attack. There are multiple posts atm on this subject. But at the time of writing any in non disabled centric communities. have 0 comments.

Yeah, I totally get your point here and I agree. I am also emotionally traumatised but the damage that has been done to my SEN children being shoehorned into a school system that does not have the funding, facilities, training or compassion to treat them as people, much less to help them fulfil their potential.
