Special needs kids don't need to be included with typical kid activities in school Everyone is all about inclusion of special needs kids with typical kids but it should be optional not mandatory. We simply don't need to be included in everything. I don't want to sit through career day class with my child who will never be independent. I don't want to go to graduations where I have to listen about all these typical kids achievements and their dreams. It's heart-wrenching and depressing for me as the parent. My child is simply oblivious and couldn't care less. 

It seems we have gotten to a point that inclusion means treating special needs equally but the truth is be it physically or mentally many are not capable of being equal to thier typical peers. Is it not possible to treat them in an equal manner that doesn't exceed these limitations? I feel like making these type of things optional or having an alternative would do that.
