Don't just give classes

By Barbara Anderson

"I would accept your son, but when he is a little older and realizes his disability and gets depressed, I cannot create that environment in the classroom"; "we are not prepared to receive a child with special needs, we cannot attend to him alone", "it is a question of lack of space, don't think it is because of discrimination... because we have even received black students".

"I was once asked to accept a girl with Down syndrome but as you know, they are very affectionate kids with no filter, I preferred that she didn't come so that she wouldn't become the object of bullying."
