I was in a regular secondary school and while majority of students were fine or whatever, disability slurs were used daily by most of them as a form of bantering, which is tragically quite common among adolescents. As someone who actually has minor special needs, it always annoyed me that this was such a casual thing to use those type of slurs as separate definitions to what they actually mean. What's worse was the occasional cases of people who DID use those words as their actual definition, a few former friends continually using them against me to bully me.
So I think all in all, public schools are simply too unreliable for everyone to attend, as not only do not all facilities fully benefit those with more major disabilities, but the quality of discipline differs depending on what school so isn't reliable enough to prevent bullying.

...yeah great post, Epic...
...and that’s the thing, isn’t it...I mean the whole of the education system is built on ‘every child matters’ so it’s about the individual needs and which school will suit that child....will be more thriving an environment for them...but school life in general and the different aspect of it..?...can be difficult also for everyone and anyone...
