what about those child, where their parents don't want to keep their own
disabled children at home with them. preparatory units! where so called
trained teachers will be appointed and they will have the cream on the name
of disabled students, can a sighted person learn braille in 15 days? if he
can't is it possible that he can teach braille or other accesibility to the
blind student within 15 days? why not special schools in every district?
where billions of rupees are landing in sarva shiksha abhiyan by the
government? the concept of integrated education is applicable only in so
called cities of india? could anyone help me to get admission a blind girl
living in very remote area, is 800 KMS from the capital city of
chhattisgarh? no agency came out, finally we filed a petition in the high
court of chhattisgarh and got order against the government that all the
blind girls living in bastar have to occomodate for their schooling in the
separate hostel at jagdalpur, the dist. headquarter of bastar. if SC AND ST
sighted students can be facilitated in the separate hostel and schools by
the government, why not disabled?

Hi friends,
I am not agree with this statement that in normal schools disabled
children are easily forgiven for their mistakes. In my school days I
was perhaps the most mischeavious student of my class specially till
10th standard but I used to be equally punished. My teachers don't
remember mefor standing first in class but those are the memories of
their punishments which are still alive with me as well as them. It is
true that practically a so called inclusive school cannot fulfill all
the needs of a disabled studentspecially in today's era. But it is
also true that a special school isolates him or her from general
environment. According to me disabled students must be sent to a
preparatory unit before exposing them to school. And as they grow
older then they must be given ediquit knowledge of mobility, self
presentation, screen readers, personal highgene etc. Now a days there
are many special educators and trainors who do these works as part
time jobs. At least it is not difficult for those families which are
living in developed cities. But those disabled children who are living
in rural areas then at least till 5 to 10 years there is no such
practical substitute of a special school available for them.

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.

Hi zoher,
You expressed my own opinion regarding special education up to upper
primary class. But, when I spoke about this to some of my blind
friends, who had both special and inclusive education, they say that
special school do not provide adequate facility for the overall
developement of the disabled. I cannot comment on this, since I had
no experience in any of the special school.

Dear friends,
Yesterday's program has importantly raised the issue of integrated
education. Here it comes to my mind is, now onwards will we not require
special schools for disabled?
My take on this issue is nothing can replace the need for special
schools.
Following arguments can support my take.
1. Every disabled child does not comes from the rich family, so he
can
have all the facility of assistive technology in his house. Because
normal
schools cannot provide with all the facilities.
2. As show also pointed out that some of the parents are not
accept
their disabled child. So it is necessary to have the special schools so
that
Childs parents get proper counseling to accept their child. I don't
think
so
any normal school can do so.
3. Many of the disabled children's are over protected by their
parents
or many of them are overlooked by their parents. In both the case the
child
becomes introward, if in this situation he is put to sited school then
he
will not be able to cope with the situation.
4. A disabled child needs to have some special tools to face the
real
world, such as communication skills, presenting oneself with confidence
even
with disability, or handling the subjects like math's science and
geography
he needs to have a special education. Now just imagine in India schools
are
not comfortable for normal students how they are going to accommodate
disabled student?
Here I mean that at list special schools are necessary till 5th or 7th
standard. Then the person is prepared to face the normal schools.
According to me, even giving entire education is in the special
environment
is also not viable, as finally one has to live in the integrated
society.
To get our right place in the society the first thing is that a disabled
should respect other disabled person. In yesterdays show there was one
person who was in my school and in college also. When I was talking to
him,
his mother came to me and told that keep away from my son, if he lives
with
disabled peoples then he will develop an inferiority complex.
Members please carry this thread for more discussion, so we can have
enlightenment on this issue.
