Is Special Education Really Necessary?
Fleming, Frances
B.C. Journal of Special Education, 1, 1, 5-10, W 77
In this critique of the primary school system, the author discusses such things as early identification procedures which can label a normal child "handicapped", and unnecessary competition which causes unhealthy stress--things the author feels help to generate "system-damaged" children who then require special education. (DLS)
