I'm sorry but many children with learning difficulties are finding themselves in 'normal' schooling because the government has deemed they should become fully intergrated with 'normal' educational establishments.Segregation is becoming a thing of the past with certain educational disadvantages.Now I can understand this when it comes to physical disabilty children but when Downs Syndrome children are placed in mainstream schools(and it's happened in my regular school)I think that it is a strain on a system already stretched beyond what is reasonable.
However to get back on topic,discipline has to be a matter arranged and agreed between parents and school.Mind the next time I want to keep a child for the 10 minutes allowed at the end of the school day and I'm told that "I've got to pick up my little brother/sister/cousin/whatever from school so I can't stay after school", I shall go demented.
Let the little sw*nes behave in that case then IF they want to leave on time.Better still let mum/dad/aunty pick up their own younger child from school instead of lumping it on to an older sibling.
Incog.
