My Observation on 'Special' Children - Part 2

In conjunction to my last blog, titled as my observation on ‘special’ children, here’s what I personally feel and simultaneously, offer you my lenses to analyze both situations and comment on how right it is to treat children, based on such baseless reasons. This is when a special school, MBCN i.e. Mata Bhagwanti Chadha Niketan came up with its helping hand.

I am not here to pass judgement; the only matter of concern is that what if a special school like MBCN has not enrolled the child, what have been the scenario? Do schools take admissions based on caste, creed, religion and considering how well of a child’s parents is. Well, to my understanding this is the last thing that can happen with a child and so as the guardian. The both of them are likely to get affected in the long term; the student would surely feel the difference now.

After all it’s about his career which cannot be compromised with in any way. Just because a student has some verbal concerns, school faculty is no one to say that he should be enrolled in mentally retarded school. If at one point of time, i agree to what’s being advised, let’s just make it very clear that autism is not a severe concern, based on which a child can be discriminated from society. It just that the child needs some to be taught in a specific way in comparison to the counterparts and this problem can be recovered, if the child is given apt treatment. Correction, it’s not treatment, its care. And that’s what a child needs from school.

I have not brought up both of these cases to favor a home for mentally challenged or show agony against any schools, but yes, i would make a special request that no child should be discriminated or favored based on from which family he belongs to. Stop this social plague, it’s likely to ruin our future generation.
