Islay, it isn't as simple as that. There are schools that cater for children with profound difficulties, but there is a range of special needs children who can, with some specialist support, be educated in the mainstream.

It makes life difficult for teachers and their pupils but it does seem to be a more tolerant approach.

I agree with Deeranged, that there appear to be parents who seem not to care if their children are educated or not. There needs to be a change in attitude, and I don't know how it could be done, and worryingly all our politicians seem to be clueless too.
