I do not know how much news items you guys get from England. At the moment one of our ex education ministers has spent the last couple of years closing down special needs schools and integrating these children into main stream schools. This is fine if your child's needs are not that severe they can cope quite well. But what has really p***** me off is the fact that this minister has gone and put her child in a private special school that costs thousands of pounds a year. Most people have not got the finances to be able to do so. I have a child with special needs i wish that i could afford this for my child. This has got me hopping mad it is double standards one rule for them and another for us its not fair on any one who has a special needs children.
