These seem to make so much sense. But some might seem too radical for many teachers. If they just want to 'manage' the child as opposed to 'engaging' the child then they are unlikely to go so far out of the norm.
I totally agree Lenny. I'm a special ed teacher, so a lot of these things are commonplace in my classroom. I do find that many mainstream teachers that I've worked with much prefer to manage a student they have in their class as opposed to wanting to actually meet their needs appropriately. It's sad, but I also understand why this is often the case as I know they're very busy (not saying its an acceptable excuse, but I can see why they might focus their limited time on what is beneficial for the majority as opposed to the minority).
