Bias in the Treatment of Students with Special Needs:
At any school, there seems to be some bias in one way or another. There are also seems to be people that do not support such views/behavior. Most schools have supportive staff and students that do not treat people differently in spite of any bias that a few may portray. Educational settings should be safe and supportive environment minus bias towards students with disabilities. Unfortunately, one cannot guarantee a bias-free setting. Educators can work towards bias-free settings if problems arise. The students can receive ridicule and unfair treatment from certain students occasionally. Most students, however, are welcoming and accepting. It is important to set expectations and examples for how students must treat one another with respect and acceptance. Teachers must realize that they’re constantly observed by students. The environments that set clear expectations and positive social roles rarely have bias issues with their students that have disabilities. In the resource classroom itself, there are occasional behavior issues, but inappropriate behavior towards one another is not tolerated. Most times, they try to help one another out. The teacher maintains a bias-free room to best of her ability. The staff and administration, in general, do their best to maintain a bias-free school.
