There are many problems with education today, but one of the main problems would be the topic of inclusion versus a self-contained classroom. Many people have different opinions on this topic. For example, some believe that children with disabilities should be separated from non-disabled children in classrooms, while others believe that they should not be separated. There are many pros and cons for both sides of this situation. The viewpoints of these two choices are completely opposite. On one hand, something can have a positive outcome, but on the other hand, it can have a negative outcome. Choosing the one that yields the most positive outcomes for students is not the easiest choice, but it is a choice that must be made for students to achieve their graduation goals. The concepts of inclusion and least restrictive environment may seem identical, but they certainly are not. The idea of ​​the least restrictive environment is simply that children with disabilities should be educated, to an appropriate extent, with other children without disabilities. On the other hand, the approach to inclusion is that children with disabilities should not be separated from their non-disabled peers. Inclusion rejects the use of special classrooms and schools; while the least restrictive environment encourages the creation of separate classrooms and schools. Some may say that “inclusion prepares students with disabilities to use the skills they learn in the real world where few special “protective” contexts exist” (LRE vs. Inclusion). Others may say that with LRE, each student will learn at their own pace and that it would help them accomplish what they are trying to accomplish. Both of these reasons have their advantages, but they also have their own disadvantages ... middle of paper ... dents need to be done by someone who is certified to do so. We should not place them in "normal" classes just because the pace may be too fast and, therefore, would lead not only students with special needs, but all students, to slowly begin to gain delay. A self-contained classroom may seem too small, but it helps all students learn at their own pace. Works Cited Cook, Jessica. “Advantages and disadvantages of inclusive education”. EComment.
