Excellent lens - Revamp the curriculum I say! I do think that there is a step before deciding where/how the children should be educated - in my experience many of the children are damaged in school by their difficulties in learning not being identified until their behaviour deteriorates. This can even continue until a child is in their teens. Parents also can find it difficult getting anyone to believe that there is something wrong.

I think kids with severe mental is very disruptive and caused trauma to little children who had to witness it. I didn't appreciate that when my son was in 1st grade and had to see wrestling match in cafeteria.

I would like to see poles on serving healthy foods and the cost of that choice, options to begin school at an older age (homeschooling until high school for example), and no homework so that children have time to live and persue their own interests.

Many of my friends unfortunately have high functioning autistic children or children with Aspergers. The children vary widely, but they are able to learn and are intelligent. In order to be mainstreamed, they need accommodation, and this has in turn taught the normal students kindness.
