Soo if you are on facebook and into the disability u might of heard of a kid named Henry. Henry lives in florida and is being home school by force. The reason is he can not go to the local junior high because he has some disabilities.
The school does not have a right to keep him away from his neighborhood school. People say that that he needs to take a test to prove that he can go to school. I find this funny because no one else has to take a test to go to public school. Its a public school not a private school. Why force him to take a test this is not right education is all about learning and all humans can learn.
I could say wow I am so glad that I do not live in florida except This could have taken place where I live because schools around here are not that inclusive in fact I know the only reason that I was able to go to public school was tthat I did not have an intellectual disability. I have CP My In fact there is a private school that is inclusive in our area. Thats right there is a private school that does what the public schools should be doing.
I stand with Henry because I know the benefits of attending the neighbor school amongst peers. I stand with Henry because I know that he deserves the same high exceptions as his class mates. I stand with Henry because I know that he will need to interact in a world where there are people without disabilities. I stand with Henry because he deves a chance to achieve his dreams. I stand with Henry because he should have the chance to be involved in after school activities and dances if he wants to. I stand with Henry because I know that good education allow him to have a rich and full life.
Henry if you ever read this I want you to know how much I admire your determination to forge ahead, Never give in. I have heard from some parents around here find it hard to pave the wat in terms of inclusion. Never give in. Never take those tests. You s
should not need to fight . I hope I can meet you one day
