Problems with Self-Contained Classrooms for Disabled Students

There are many problems with today’s education, but one of the main problems would be the topic of inclusion vs. self-contained classroom. Many people have different opinions on this topic. For instance, some believe that disabled children should be separated from non-disabled children in classrooms, while others believe they should not be separated. There are many advantages and disadvantages to both sides of this situation. The views of both of these choices are completely opposite. On one side

question is not should disabled people be educated, but how best to educate them. Many now believe that the inclusion classroom is the best learning environment for those who are disabled. Still others feel that a self-contained classroom is a better fit for their educational and social needs. In this paper, both types of classroom settings will be addressed, with emphasis on the self-contained classroom being the most effective of the two. It is important that a disabled child's educational needs

First off, there is the regular classroom to which there is the student is with non-disabled students and all instruction is from the classroom teacher.  (Miller, 2012) There are little to no additional support services provided for the deaf or hard of hearing student because of the teacher’s focus is on other

class A special class is a class consisting of students with disabilities who have been grouped together because of similar individual needs so that they can receive specially designed instruction. In special classes, the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction is adapted to ensure the student has access to the general curriculum and the opportunity to meet the educational standards that apply to all students.

That statement could reflect what the general public owes to all children, an opportunity to achieve their potential. So it is vital to make the most ideal learning environment for that to happen.

Her students are always solving real world problems that will not only prepare them for work but provides them with the necessary life skills they need to be productive after high school.

inclusive classrooms, fully exclusive classrooms limit students opportunities to be apart of socially diverse environments. In his social experiment, Fryxell finds that when two groups of students with severe disabilities are broken up into two groups where one is in general education classrooms and the other is in self-contained classrooms that, “[S]tudents placed in [the] general education [classrooms] ha[ve] higher levels of social contact with peers without disabilities; ... students in general
