In Kirovograd School Children’s Parents Oppose Sick Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Some children’s parents said that if healthy youngsters can be troubled and dangerous then the sick are two times more dangerous so the classes may not be created for them.

In Kirovograd, two classes for children with special needs are to be opened at general high school No 35 in the next school year. They were planning to adapt unusual school children to the traditional children’s collective. . However, this idea has met the opposition from teachers and parents.

In particular, pedagogues oppose because the name of the school would change. According to them, the addition of special classes will set a seal of inferiority on the rest of student and lower the status of teachers.

“We have about 800 students and we will have only two classes added to us – this is a maximum of 16 persons. Why, just because of 16 persons is the school where about 800 students study to be modified?” – wondered Chairwoman of Trade Union Committee of GHS No 35 Elena Khlebnikova.

Some school children’s parents, in turn, said that if healthy youngsters can be troubled and dangerous then the sick are two or three times more dangerous, so these kids must be separated.

At the meeting, parents and teachers decided that neither special classes nor changing the name of the school would be necessary. The director – a supporter of the idea of the inclusivity of education - expressed incredulity.

School Director Taras Babak, in his turn, tried to make opponents ashamed.

“You know Hitler once solved the problem of these kids – he shot them. Let’s we do it the same way, yeah? Shame on you!” – noted Babak.

Medical workers think that joint education is an opportunity for all children to become kinder and learn to sympathize. They wonder that parents do not understand – no one can be insured against such misfortunes.

“This .is post-Soviet thinking when disabled kids were held in reservations” – said speech pathologist Elena Doroshenko.

She was supported by City Education Department Chief Larisa Kostenko.

It’s very frustrating that adults behave this way today and share the opinion that there are normal and abnormal kids. All kinds are normal but they need special curriculums,” – noted Kostenko.

But parents don’t even want to hear these arguments – they promise protesting and boycotting.
