#32016-09-28 13:06We cannot ignore children with special needs. Specialised education is essential to assist them to develop optimally to be able to function best they can in society |

#42016-09-28 15:28Children with special needs have the right to be accommodated in an inclusive environment where THEY CAN RECEIVE THE NECESSARY SUPPORT. Parow Inclusive School offers this support. |

#62016-09-28 16:18My resource class was also closed down this year and the kids were placed back into mainstream. This was very unsuccessful and caused so many issues. Keep the Resource classes! |

#72016-09-28 16:33My son is in this school and is one of the kids in a resource class. Since he's in the resource class he's a new person! He's got new confidence, self worth and dignity! |
Guest |
#82016-09-29 04:26It's an injustice to these children and they need all the support they can get. |
Guest |
#92016-09-29 04:57I work in a school which tries everything in its power to accommodate children who learn differently and have a passion for these wonderful children. I scribe for tests/exams whenever possible. |

#112016-09-29 11:08Every child has a right to basic education and if they cannot manage normal tuition they need special tuition. |

#12 keep resource classes2016-09-29 11:12Children that need a bit extra help get swallowed whole by main stream. This should never be allowed. Give them what they need to one day help build our country. Please keep the resource classes !!!! |

#132016-09-29 17:14I have experienced that learners who can't cope in the mainstream drop out of school when they are not accepted in a school of skills. It takes a special educator with lots of passion and patience for these learners, to work with them. They are truely a blessing to work with and are often much better mannered with more self confidence than LSEN in mainstream because they are able to cope with the work load and level of work. Currently our education system are failing these learners. Put them in a place where they can feel self worth and excel in what they are good in. |

#142016-09-29 17:39There is a serious need for specialised education for children with special needs. All children have the right to an education. |

#152016-09-30 06:20My son Matthew has Cerebral Palsy and also needs special schooling. To take away this classes would deny children their equal rights to an education. |

#172016-10-05 18:37I am vice principal at an private Elsen School, and I know how big the need is for schools like Parow Incl. Instead of closing down these classes, the WCED should open more if it!! |
Guest |
#182016-10-06 06:36Even parents of very privileged children battle to get extra funds for help for their kids...if this funding is cut - many kids will just go without the help and never be able to reach the success in life that is within their grasp whilst they are getting this help. I happen to know one of the speech therapist working with those kids and it is superior quality help the kids are getting - we need to keep it that way. Just sign - it is easier than supporting jobless people! |

#192016-10-29 06:31I signed this petition because I have a daughter with Special Needs. Although she is not mentally compromised and I'm confident she will cope in a mainstream school, there is still alot of predujice and stigma around disabilities and learning disorders. These children are excluded and discriminated against and it is unacceptable! We need to instill an attitude of 'acceptance' and 'equality' within our homes and schools. Education is not something our children should have to struggle with and fight for - I'm currently having difficulty placing my child in a Daycare! People hear the words "special needs" and run a mile... This is 2016, not 1920 where such children and adults were locked away in Care Homes (often abusive ones) and viewed as Taboo and treated like some dark and shameful family secret! Open your hearts and schools!!! If the education dept removes LSE they'll do this country a great disservice and we'll regress by centuries..... |
Guest |
#222016-10-29 10:00I signed because I have seen how special needs children suffer in the normal classroom and I have seen how successful Parow Inclusive has been with their inclusive teaching! |
Guest |
#232016-10-29 12:17My grandson is autistic, and they will get lost in the system, frustration not being able to cope, this is very unfair to the kids with special needs |
Guest |
#242016-10-29 12:43My son is a high functioning autistic child. It would affect his future education. These children have special needs. This may expose them to bullying and teasing as well. This is very concerning as a parent of a special needs child. |
Guest |
#252016-10-31 09:32The children need these specail classes as there are so little places catering for specail needs children, please don't let these classes go!!!! |
