I had a question that fits with that. I support the integration and mainstreaming of children, moving children with special needs into mainstream education.
Anecdotally, I am aware of some people who put their children into mainstream primary school but then when it comes to second level they move them to special needs. Is that a big phenomenon? If so, what is going on? Does it signify something along the lines of what Senator O'Donnell has said?
