Lindo Rogers sees shortcomings in English system
Sandy area resident Linda
Rogers found it hard to be a
diplomat when she disagreed

England’s special education
programs.
The
special

teacher at Sam Barlow High
School recently returned from
a year at the University of
Newcastle
in
northeast
England, studying education
for handicapped children. She
was one of 80 applicants of 380
chosen by the International
Rotary to take part in an ex­
change program for teachers of
the handicapped.
“ I went through a whole

Rogers explained that special
education
for handicapped
children is just being in­
troduced in England. “ They’re

Rogers said young British
teachers are trying to get
children into regular schools
and out of special homes.
“ They realize i t ’s detrimental
to take those kids out of their,
environment.”
She said the government is
just starting to enroll special
children in regular schools, but
“ they’re still kept separated.
We saw one of these programs,
but the kids were in a trailer
behind the football field. ”
Most are still in residential
homes run by the government,
said Rogers.
“ The social
services take them out of their
homes at a very early age.
Even the m ildly retarded and

have
been
segregated.
“ Some were never malad­
justed in the first place. But
their only models for behavior
are other maladjusted kids.”
