I am saddened by the parent who is "not a big fan" of mainstreaming children with special needs. Clearly this person is not aware that inclusion of all students helps both children with special needs and their typical peers. This allows those with disabilities to learn appropriate social skills and academic learning that they need to be contributing members of their communities some day, and their typical peers learn acceptance and also cement new skills they have just learned by helping those who may be struggling. As a mother with a baby girl with down syndrome looking to move to goshen I hope most parents don't think like you do. But I am glad that Goshen strives to help all students acheive and does not believe those that are different should be locked away so those that are uncomfortable with things they don't understand feel safe from their own ignorance.
Great network of educators, administrators, students, and community members who work amazingly hard to provide excellence in education!
I have one child in the GMS and one who has went through GMS, currently at GHS. I have always been happy with all teachers and the modifications my children recevied for there learning disabilities. However, I am afraid things are shifting for the worse. The zero tolerance rules and no child left behind joke is putting too much stress on the teachers. I have had a heck of a time getting assignments posted on the web timely so I know current grades, ect. They have no time to help the slower learning students and manage a class size so big. This is the first year I am looking at alternatives to GMS. I still have one more child to pass through . I am also not a big fan of the special ed children becoming so included into main stream education and the school is really pushing this too.
