2. education of disabled students

3. Is it desirable to separate disabled students from the able-bodied?

I think everyone should be taught collectively, not separately. The ministry of education separates disabled students from the able-bodied in order to facilitate education. However, it makes un invisible wall to themselves and to their parents who have disabled children. Besides, in case they are fully educated in some ways, they might enter society that doesn't overlook different ability between disabled people and the able-bodied. It means that disabled people should compete with not only the disabled but also the able-bodied. So we should not separate disabled students from the able-bodied because disabled students need some time and practice to accustom to competition with the able-bodied.

5. MADISON, Wis. — Garner Moss has autism and when he was finishing fifth grade, his classmates made a video about him, so the new students he would meet in the bigger middle school would know what to expect. His friend Sef Vankan summed up Garner this way: “He puts a little twist in our lives we don’t usually have without him.”

People with autism are often socially isolated, but the Madison public schools are nationally known for including children with disabilities in regular classes. Now, as a high school junior, Garner, 17, has added his little twist to many lives.
