I wanted to be more than a week and probably I was too pushy at that time.

How can it be possible, in an inclusive class where some children with special needs require a one on one attention, to not neglect peer models?

In other words, individual classroom freedom will be lost when teachers are forced to follow the governments blanket and mandatory regulations. I choose this concept because I feel it is important to allow a wide variety of options to families in order for them the find the right fit for their
