The article and the video we were able to see in class really was close to home for me. i have a cousin with autism and i believe that he should be able to live a normal life and be treated with respect. there is no reason to talk down to somebody with a disability. i absolutely loved the video in class that the girl with downsyndrom made. she was right in everything that she said and i am so glad that she sticks up for herself and doesn't let anyone tell her differently. seperating student with special needs from general education students is beyond ridiculous. i understand for learning purposes yes it is sometimes better to keep the educations separate but there is no reason why kids with special needs cant be in gym class, sit at lunch or go on field trips with general ed students. everyone is different and everyone has something to offer in the world and we need to let that shine and let friendships form. it makes me uncomfortable that some teachers or parents want general ed students separated from special ed students. and nothing makes me more angry then when a person with special needs is talked down to or left out of sports or activities. we should be about unity and coming together and being happy and learning from one another.

this video proves that collaboration is a healthy wonderful thing for the students and it helps them 100% in education.
